World Animal Day 2020
In my younger days I had a number of pets. I must say that the care they received was not really adequate and they were more toys than anything else.In my later years I became somewhat better at pet ownership. Only now do I feel fully qualified to own a companion animal.
I feel this is primarily a function of maturity, cultivation of empathy and awareness, and perhaps most of all a sense of responsibility.
Another World Animal Day is upon us. It's the international day for action on the items of animal rights and welfare. Each October 4 this observance marks the feast of Francis of Assisi who is the patron saint of animals.

It is a culmination of animal welfare proponents and their efforts to make the world better for all animals crossing ethnic, religious, geopolitical, and ideological boundaries.
Awareness and education are the focus.
