October 4
International Animal Day
On October 4, every animal lover can celebrate their big day with their pet - World Animal Day. This tradition began as early as 1931 in Florence, Italy (coincidentally, the zoo in Prague was also opened in this year). The Czech Republic officially participated in these celebrations for the first time in 1994. The purpose of the announcement is clear, to remind people that animals are living creatures and an important part of our planet. The behavior of people towards animals should therefore be considerate and everyone should avoid any manifestations of cruelty and restriction of animal freedom.
