It’s World Animal Day!

Happy World Animal Day! Today, we celebrate the diversity of the animal kingdom and reflect on the importance of animal welfare around the world. This year’s theme is “Great or Small, Love Them All,” and we want to take this opportunity to honour all animals and the special place they hold in our hearts.

Whether it’s our beloved companions at home or the wild animals we admire from afar, animals of all shapes and sizes play a critical role in our lives. They bring us joy, comfort, and companionship, and they remind us of the interconnectedness of all living things.

This year, we want to highlight the ways in which we can show our love and appreciation for animals, both big and small. Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Volunteer at a local animal shelter or rescue organisation.
  • Adopt an animal from a shelter instead of purchasing from a breeder or pet store.
  • Support organisations working to protect wildlife and their habitats.
  • Choose to consume plant-based foods or reduce your meat consumption to minimise harm to farm animals.
  • Take steps to reduce your environmental impact to protect all animals and their habitats.

Last minute ideas for today:

  • Speak up on social media, share posts from our social media channels or from our ambassadors, make your own posts about animals, spread awareness of the day.
  • Use our “social media posts” toolkit to create some World Animal Day buzz.
  • Find an event in your area and go along.
  • Take a selfie with our World Animal Day signs found in our “social media” toolkit.
  • Talk to everyone you know about World Animal Day and the importance of animal welfare worldwide.
  • Use our World Animal Day twibbon found in our “social media posts” toolkit.
  • Show some extra love for your companions at home, this day is for them!
