World Animal Day: History and Significance
Heinrich Zimmermann, a cynologist, came up with the idea to commemorate World Animal Day for the first time on March 24, 1925, in Berlin, Germany. He wanted to raise awareness of animal welfare by introducing this event.
The first gathering was organized and more than 5,000 people showed up to support the cause.
It’s interesting that St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, has a feast day that falls on the same day as World Animal Day.
The significance of the day comes from its emphasis on how animals enrich human lives.
Additionally, it attempts to inspire other communities and organizations to oppose animal cruelty.
