World Animal Day is October 4 of each year. This is to commemorate the Italian missionary St. Francis and his idea of "thanking the animals who give love to humanity". World Animal Day was proposed by a group of ecologists when they met in Florence, Italy, in 1931.
Although they chose a 12th-century Italian Catholic missionary in Assisi, St. Francis's main day of worship, October 4, as "World Animal Day"; But the target is all human beings,
especially those who care about animals, because St. Francis had established a harmonious and harmonious relationship with birds. The development of World Animal Day has transcended national, ethnic and religious boundaries.
世界动物日(World Animal Day)是每年的10月4日。这是为了纪念意大利传教士圣方济各,以及他所倡导的“向献爱心给人类的动物们致谢”的理念。“世界动物日”是一群生态学家于1931年在意大利佛罗伦斯召开会议时所倡议的。
虽然他们选取了一位12世纪意大利阿西西城天主教传教士圣方济各的主保瞻礼日,10月4日,为“世界动物日”;但对象却是全人类,特别是关心动物人士,因为圣方济各曾和小鸟建立融洽、和谐的关系。“世界动物日”的发展已超越了国家、种族和宗教等界限。
