October 4 is known as Animal Day all over the world. We learn the story of the emergence of World Animal Day in the light of the information obtained by the World Animal Day website by scanning many sources in Germany and America. According to the research, the emergence of the special day in question dates back to 1925. World Animal Day, which was first organized on March 24, 1925 under the leadership of the German writer and publisher Henrich Zimmermann, has been celebrated every October 4 since 1929. There is a special reason why October 4 was chosen for World Animal Day. According to a legend, October 4 was specially chosen because it is the death anniversary of Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Catholic Franciscan community, who is believed to be able to talk to animals and is also known as the "patron saint of ecology."

However, last year, many animal rights organizations and animal rights activists in Turkey refused to celebrate October 4. The reason for this was the systematic continuation of rights violations against animals, but the lack of adequate penal sanctions, and 40 animal rights violation cases in various provinces of Turkey were published in the animal news agency Ajanimo.com.

The Situation of Animals in the World

The World Animal Protection Society (WSPA) has been active in the field of animal protection since 1950 under different organizational names.
