\nHappy WORLD ANIMAL DAY, friends!<\/strong>
\nWorld Animal Day began in 1931 as a way to highlight the plight of endangered species. This day has since evolved into a day to honor all the animals of the world!

\n1) Educate people<\/strong> on the many unfortunate plights some animal suffer through – puppy mills, illegal dog-fighting, the cruel and illegal wildlife trade, animals raised for food on factory farms, animals suffering in animal-testing labs, circuses, badly-managed zoos and the list goes on.
\n2) Write a letter<\/strong> to your local newspaper, or put up a post on your favorite social media site, or blog informing people of the day and the meaning behind WAD.
\n3) Donate to a local animal charity or shelter.<\/strong> Local shelters are always in need of food, litter, and supplies.
\n4) Volunteer<\/strong> at your local shelter, animal-welfare\/ animal-rights related organisations, or related advocacy groups!
\n5) Go meat-free<\/strong>, so no animals are harmed in the making of your meal.
\n6) Stop to help a stray in need<\/strong>, by just providing a meal, taking it for a vet check-up to help him\/her heal from her injuries\/ sickness, or foster the animal temporarily at home! With lots of tender, loving care – you will be surprised at how he or she blooms, if you can’t keep a pet at home you can try to rehome via\u00a0www.petfinder.my<\/a>
\n7) Make your home\/ school\/ office more animal friendly!<\/strong>
\n8) Surprise your own favorite animal companion<\/strong> with an unexpected treat and carve out some extra time during the day to enjoy their company.
\n9) Expand your own knowledge and broaden your own horizons<\/strong> by picking up a book by an animal expert like Dr Jane Goodall, or find a book that encourages kindness towards animals and share it with young children!
\nThere are so many things you can do for animals, don’t be limited by the list above – and you can do these wonderful things everyday, not just today!\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
