Today is World Animal Day

Saturday October 4, 2008
People who love cats almost always love all of the creatures of this planet. With that in mind, consider celebrating World Animal Day with one or more of these activities, suggested on their site:
Obviously there’s no time to organise an event but there are lots of things you can do to mark the day that take no planning. Here are just a few ideas which will make a difference and can be achieved very easily: play with your pets; make a donation to your favourite animal charity; walk an elderly neighbours dog; donate some food or volunteer at a local shelter; sponsor an animal; make a pledge for World Animal Day (see menu bar left) or send your friends and family a World Animal Day E-Card to raise awareness of World Animal Day (link below).
I already know where my donation is going today. Do you?

I just wanted to thank you for highlighting World Animal Day in your blog. This is indeed a very special day and gives us the opportunity to unite the animal welfare movement on a global scale. World Animal Day 2008 has been immensely successful and our thanks go out to everyone who participated. Why not visit the website to get some inspiration and ideas for 2009 - it’s never too early to start planning! Thanks again. Debbie - World Animal Day
