World Animal Day was first published by Henrik Zimmermann, a German writer and publisher in Mens und Hund / Man and Dog magazine. He celebrated this day on March 24, 1925 at the Berlin Sport Palace in Germany. More than 5,000 people attended the event. The day was originally scheduled to be celebrated on October 04, in conjunction with the feast of St. Francis of St. ACC, the saint of ecology. But due to space constraints at that time, the day was not observed on this day. This day was first observed on October 04, 1929. At first he only got followers from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Czechoslovakia on this day. Zimmerman has worked tirelessly every year to popularize World Animal Day. Finally, in a resolution he raised at the International Congress for the Protection of Animals in Florence, Italy in 1931, October 04 was recognized as World Animal Day.
It is sometimes said that World Animal Day was introduced in 1931 at a conference of ecologists in Florence, Italy, to bring endangered species to the attention of all.
Uniting the animal protection movement, World Animal Day has now become a global event, led and sponsored by a UK-based animal welfare charity since 2003.
