World Animal Day 2024
Since the World Animal Protection Congress in May 1931, October 4 was designated as World Animal Day. Thousands of passionate animal advocates have participated in World Animal Day celebrations. World Animal Day was established to raise the status of animals and improve welfare standards around the world. We look forward to raising awareness of the treatment of animals around the world by participating in this event.
Animals are the spirits of nature and important guardians of ecological balance. From galloping horses on the vast grasslands to dolphins swimming in the deep ocean, from clever squirrels in the forest to soaring eagles in the sky, every animal has its unique charm and value. They give us companionship and warmth. Loyal dogs are always waiting at the door for their owners to return, and cute cats soothe our tired hearts with their softness. In the zoo, the laughter of children and the lively figures of animals are intertwined, creating the most beautiful picture.
However, the living conditions of animals today are worrying. Habitats continue to be destroyed, illegal hunting continues, and the impacts of climate change are intensifying. Many rare species are on the verge of extinction and their survival faces unprecedented threats.
On World Animal Day, let us make a promise: not to participate in the illegal wildlife trade, protect animal habitats, and care for stray animals. Use our actions to create a better world for animals.
In order to increase the research and understanding of various types of animals, we have collected animal research results from multiple journals, which are all open access, and we hope they can help animal lovers, policymakers, and everyone around the world access and share the latest scientific knowledge.
Let us celebrate World Animal Day together and join hands to protect these miracles of life so that animals and humans can maintain a harmonious and beautiful relationship.
