Why celebrate World Wildlife Day?
Many animals in captivity are either taken from their natural homes or born in places where they’ve never experienced real freedom. Right now, there are hundreds of thousands of animals kept in unnatural settings, made to perform for tourists:
- These animals include a variety of species, from tigers and elephants doing tricks to donkeys and camels used for rides. The places they’re kept can be amusement parks or traveling zoos. Sometimes, misleading advertising makes it seem like these places are ethical and sustainable, but the truth is often different.
- To make animals do what we want, they go through tough training, where they’re disciplined until they behave the way we want them to.
- Sharing information and raising awareness helps more people understand the suffering these captive animals go through just to sell tickets. Together, we can stop the commercial use of wildlife.

Ever wondered what World Wildlife Day is all about? Well, it’s like a special day dedicated to understanding and loving animals and their homes. The United Nations thought it was so important that they declared it an official day. We believe that to take care of animals, whether they’re in the wild or sadly stuck in captivity, people need to know what these creatures need.
Animals deserve to be in their natural homes, not stuck in cages. World Wildlife Day is a friendly reminder of that, and we think animals should have the freedom to live wild and free.
