MISSION OF WORLD ANIMAL DAY
To raise the status of animals in order to improve welfare standards around the globe. Building the celebration of World Animal Day unites the animal welfare movement, mobilising it into a global force to make the world a better place for all animals. It’s celebrated in different ways in every country, irrespective of nationality, religion, faith or political ideology. Through increased awareness and education we can create a world where animals are always recognised as sentient beings and full regard is always paid to their welfare.

oh…I see…it’s a good news… thanks.

Animals…pets make us better people. I fully agree with you… But, I have suffered the departure of my pets twice in my life… That makes my life miserable…

What’s your opinion?

Warm regards, LG @OliverKIWI

@TravellerG so sorry to hear your story. Actually, I had a sad story as well. My cat was hit and killed by a passing car just outside my house.

See…

Since you have a first hand feel, then I need not explain.

I too am sorry to hear your sad story - unfortunate… But, the grief takes our all live for a few weeks or even sometimes, moths wont also heal it…

Thanks for sharing @OliverKIWI
