World Animal Day 2020: The friendship between humans and animals is considered to be reliable and ever lasting. Animals don't know the ways of the world. Once they start loving us, there is no turning back. They become our friends, and protect us like their own.
Every animal has the right to co-exist with us; they should also be treated with love, compassion, and care. Mahatma Gandhi once said, "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
Hence, to raise awareness about the well-being of animals and to improve the welfare standards of the animals across the globe World Animal Day is celebrated annually. World Animal Welfare Day is observed on October 4th across the world every year.
Immanuel Kant once said, “He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.”
When we save an animal on the earth, we are not just keeping another animal alive. We demonstrate an act of compassion, kindness and inspiration towards a better world.
On this World Animal Day 2020 here are some heart-warming animal quotes that you can share with friends and family.
