Welcome to World Animal Day! I hope everyone is ready to celebrate the world's animals today, no matter how big or small!
World Animal Day was originated by Heinrich Zimmermann, a writer and publisher of the German magazine Mensch und Hund (Man and Dog). He organized the first World Animal Day celebration on 24 March 1925 and over 5,000 people attended the event! (Source: https://www.worldanimalday.org.uk/about-us/)
