Today is World Animal Day and this year’s theme is Forest and Livelihoods: Sustaining People and the Planet. Commemorated every October 4, this day aims to remind humans of their responsibility towards animals and raising the status of animals in order to improve welfare standards around the globe.

· Freedom from discomfort
· Freedom from fear and stress
· Freedom to express natural behavior.
