In India, as well, World Animal Day is considered very significant. It's not about wildlife or pets, it's about understanding how animals influence our culture, ecology, and even emotional lives. This year, the celebrations are expected to be bigger, with schools, NGOs, and communities organising awareness drives and campaigns.
The official World Animal Day 2025 theme is “Save Animals, Save the Planet”. The theme emphasises the urgent need for humans to step up and protect animals who cannot advocate for themselves. It highlights issues like habitat destruction, cruelty prevention, wildlife conservation, and better care for stray and farm animals.
