About World Animal Day

World Animal Day is an international day of action for animal rights and welfare, observed every year on October 4 — the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. First held in Berlin in 1925, it has grown into a truly global movement, uniting animal lovers, welfare organisations, and advocates across more than 100 countries in a shared mission to improve the lives of all animals. Count down the days until World Animal Day with our live countdown timer.
