SUMMARY:Bird Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:There are several ecological observances to honor birds.\nBird Day in the USA\, that falls on May 4\, is one of the oldest observances. Bird Day was established by school superintendent Charles Babcock in Oil City\, Pennsylvania\, in 1894. Babcock intended to advance bird conservation as a moral value\, that is why he introduced the holiday. \nThat year the holiday was celebrated for the first time by the schools of Pennsylvania. Babcock organized a holiday for children that had two main goals: to tell children about the importance of various bird species conservation and improve their environment with bird houses.Babcock’s idea gained nationwide support in the beginning of the 20th century\, and later it made its way to Europe. \nEven today Bird Day is observed in many countries\, but it’s not so popular as National Bird Day\, that falls on January 5. \nThere are other ecological observances to honor birds\, improve and protect their environment. These are International Migratory Bird Day and International Bird Day.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:National Dog Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Dog Day is an annual event celebrated on August 26. \nNational Dog Day was established in 2004 by animal advocate & pet and family lifestyle expert Coleen Paige. The aim of the awareness day is to raise awareness about the number of dogs that are currently in rescue centres and encourage the adoption of these animals. \nSadly\, each year\, millions of dogs become homeless because they are unwanted or their owners are unable to care for them. National Dog Day aims to encourage people to adopt dogs from shelters and rescue organisations. \nLife in lockdown has not only allowed us to spend more quality time at home with our families (of the human kind)\, but also with our pets too! Whether your pet has become your new working from home buddy\, or they’ve just been there keeping your spirits up…this precious time has given us the opportunity to witness all their cute quirks and funny personalities more than ever! \nWith this in mind\, to celebrate National Dog Day\, Safestyle previously launched a nationwide #DoginWindow photo competition to tie in with this special day.

SUMMARY:National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:As humans \, we tend to take our health pretty seriously. But when was the last time you took your cat for a general check up? If the answer is ‘you can’t remember’ then use today as a gentle reminder to get your feline friend booked in for a health check. National Take Your Cat To The Vet Day on August 22nd is the day used to remind cat owners to pay a visit to the Vets. \nAmerican Veterinary Medical Association have over the years established numerous pet health awareness events\, that encourage pet owners to visit the vet. While you may think that your pet cat is at pretty low risk of picking up illnesses\, they can often become infected with dangerous diseases from stray cats\, found roaming the streets. \nWhile keeping your pussy inside is likely to protect your him or her from danger\, you can bring a virus or helminth eggs on your shoes. There are also many common illnesses that cats can develop and that can go unnoticed for a period of time. We know how well loved and cared for your pets are\, but nevertheless\, don’t waste time and take your cat to the vet to find out\, if your pet is in a good health condition. And then give them a special treat for the upheaval!

SUMMARY:International Cat Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:August the 8th is International Cat Day\, and it’s not hard to see why our little feline friends hold such a special place in our affections. \nFunny cat videos\, memes and cute pictures of cats are some of the most viewed content online\, which just confirms our obsession with the furry things. While research shows that watching funny cat videos online can boost a person’s energy and create positive emotions\, according to the experts owning a cat can also be good for your heart. Petting a cat is said to reduce stress levels\, and with people having such hectic lives\, they can be an easier and less demanding choice of pet than owning a dog. \nIf you ask me i’d say that cats have more than earned their extra treats and cuddles this International Cat Day\, so go on\, show your appreciation to that moggy in your life or buy that extra pack of cat food at the shops to donate to your local rescue centre as a little thanks to our four legged pals!

SUMMARY:Clean Beaches Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:An initiative established by The Clean Beaches Coalition\, Clean Beaches week is celebrated annually from July 1st – July 7th. With so much media attention focussing on the effects of our waste on marine life\, the oceans and our coastal landscape this is an excellent opportunity to be proactive and attempt to address a small part of the overall problem while raising awareness of a much larger global challenge. \nIn 2007 the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the National Clean Beaches Week Resolution by unanimous consent. \nKnown as the Earth Day for beaches\, hundreds of events are organized locally on beaches around the USA and include beach clean ups\, art fairs\, seafood festivals and other educational events aiming to raise awareness about respecting the beach and surrounding environment. \nThe coalition has set 7 simple reminders for those using the beach which they hope will assist the preservation of the beaches as well as protect people from the natural hazards that can occur at the shore. \n1. Leave no trace (what you carry in\, carry out) \n2. Move your body (walk\, run or swim) \n3. Don’t tread the dunes (use a walkover or walk-thru) \n4. Know your limits (swim\, surf and boat safely) \n5. You are what you eat (eat healthy seafood) \n6. Feed your mind. (read a book) \n7. Respect the Ocean (riptides\, storms\, natural resources) \nThe Clean Beaches Coalition also certifies beaches across the USA\, some of which are included in the annual USA Today Listing of the 10Best Beaches. A panel of beach experts along with 10Best contributors picked the shortlist with the top 10 winners chosen by popular vote. \nThe 4th of July is the biggest day for beach visits in the USA\, so why not go along and offer a helping hand and don’t forget the 7 Principles!

SUMMARY:Rabbit Awareness Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Head to the Rabbit Awareness Week website to find out how you can get involved in Rabbit Awareness Week 2023. \nRAAG brings together the expertise of the RAW partners who have successfully campaigned to improve the welfare of pet rabbits for the past 17 years. \nLed by Burgess Pet Care\, the RAAG comprises the RSPCA\, Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWAF)\, Wood Green The Animals Charity\, PDSA and Blue Cross. \nThe Rabbit Awareness Action Group (RAAG) is the trusted voice for rabbit welfare\, which draws on the combined knowledge of a coalition of experts who have\, for the past 17 years\, campaigned effectively through Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) to improve the lives of pet rabbits. \nThe formation of the RAAG reflects the need to establish an on-going dialogue that ensures rabbit welfare remains high on the agenda year-round. Members of the RAAG are committed to raising awareness of the five key welfare needs of pet rabbits among owners\, particularly in light of the recent launch of the first Good Practice Code for Rabbit Welfare. \nRecognising that rabbits are one of the UK’s most owned\, but least understood\, animals\, the RAAG is determined to build on the profound and positive campaigning\, which 15 years of RAW has already achieved. Recent RAW campaigns include ‘Move Away from Muesli’\, to highlight the health risks associated with muesli-style diets\, which has resulted in fewer rabbits being fed muesli as one of their main food types – down from 49% in 2011 to 18% in 2020. This\, along with other key campaigns\, will be a key focus for the RAAG over the coming years\, helping to ensure that the UK’s pet rabbits are able to lead happy and healthy lives.

SUMMARY:World Sand Dune Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:A World Sand Dune Day is being setup to highlight the importance of sand dunes. \nHealthy dunes provide habitats for a wealth of rare and specialised wildlife. These include a range of wildflowers\, bryophytes\, invertebrates and insects who require bare sand habitat to survive.Coastal sand dunes are also beautiful and important landscapes for communities\, both as recreational spaces allowing personal connection with nature\, and as places filled with cultural heritage and celebrated sites of historic renown. \nOver the last 80 years\, open sand has largely disappeared from UK sand dunes\, being replaced by dense grass and scrub. This change has been caused by factors such as the introduction of non-native plants\, lower levels of grazing\, climate change and air pollution. As the dunes have become more stable and overgrown\, rare wildlife has declined. \nThe day is being set up by the Twyni Byw-Sands of LIFE and Dynamic Dunescapes projects. These are two projects working to protect sand dunes and the wildlife that depends upon them. Events are still currently at planning stage\, but you can keep in touch by visiting their twitter accounts: @TwyniByw and @DynamicDunes. The hashtag for the day will be #WorldSandDuneDay. \nSands of LIFE (LIFE17 NAT/UK/000023) is a major conservation project to revitalise sand dunes across Wales. It will recreate natural movement in the dunes and rejuvenate habitats which are home to some of our rarest wildlife. The £4 million project\, led by Natural Resources Wales (NRW)\, will restore over 2400 hectares of sand dunes\, across four Special Areas of Conservation\, on 10 separate Welsh sites. The project has received 75% funding from the LIFE Programme of the European Union\, with the Welsh Government providing 25% match funding. \nDynamic Dunescapes (HG-16-08643; LIFE17 NAT/UK/000570-DuneLIFE) is a partnership project rejuvenating sand dunes in England and Wales. Project partners are Natural England\, Plantlife\, Natural Resources Wales\, National Trust and The Wildlife Trusts. The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the EU LIFE Programme. For more information visit http://www.dynamicdunescapes.co.uk

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue. \nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR.

SUMMARY:Bird Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:There are several ecological observances to honor birds. \nBird Day in the USA\, that falls on May 4\, is one of the oldest observances. Bird Day was established by school superintendent Charles Babcock in Oil City\, Pennsylvania\, in 1894. Babcock intended to advance bird conservation as a moral value\, that is why he introduced the holiday. \nThat year the holiday was celebrated for the first time by the schools of Pennsylvania. Babcock organized a holiday for children that had two main goals: to tell children about the importance of various bird species conservation and improve their environment with bird houses.Babcock’s idea gained nationwide support in the beginning of the 20th century\, and later it made its way to Europe. \nEven today Bird Day is observed in many countries\, but it’s not so popular as National Bird Day\, that falls on January 5. \nThere are other ecological observances to honor birds\, improve and protect their environment. These are International Migratory Bird Day and International Bird Day.

SUMMARY:Crufts 2023
DESCRIPTION:As the official awards ceremony of the Kennel Club\, Crufts is the world’s biggest dog show and gives you unfettered access to the world’s best dogs across every breed. From races and agility courses to processions and examinations\, our furry friends are put through their paces and are awarded for their prowess. \nWhether you’re a dog owner or not\, this experience is one that’s worth enjoying\, even just on TV – the dog names alone are some of the most mind-boggling creations known to man. For example\, over the last few years\, we’ve seen entrants called “Bumblecorn Cats Nightmare”\, “Whinchat Viking Flagship” and “Afterglow Miami Ink”. So long as their monikers are under 24 characters\, pretty much anything’s fair game. \nFun fact: the winner of Best in Show at Crufts only gets a replica of the original trophy\, alongside a meagre £100. That said\, there’s plenty of money in sponsorship deals…

SUMMARY:World Spay Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Nine of the UK’s animal welfare charities* have joined forces to promote World Spay Day 2023 to encourage cat owners to have their cats spayed. Spaying protects cats from getting pregnant – this is also known as neutering\, fixing or being done. \nRecent research has shown that 70% of litters in the UK are unplanned. \nOur advice is simple – have your cat spayed at four months to protect her from getting pregnant. \nMale cats should be neutered too\, to protect them catching diseases and getting nasty injuries from fighting – a male cat which hasn’t been neutered is much more likely to fight over a female mate. Neutering can also help to stop male cats from spraying indoors – which can be really smelly. He’s also more likely to stay close to home as a neutered male cat is less likely to stray. \nYou may be able to get help with the cost of having your cat neutered. \nTo take a look at the World Spay Day events near you\, click here \nWorld Spay Day is supported by: \nThe Blue Cross \nBattersea Dogs & Cats Home \nCats Protection \nCelia Hammond Animal Trust \nInternational Cat Care \nMayhew Animal Home \nPDSA \nRSPCA \nWood Green Animal Charity

SUMMARY:Groundhog Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:February 2 is Groundhog Day in the USA and Canada. Everyone watches the groundhog emerge from its burrow hoping that it will predict the coming of the spring. \nAccording to folklore\, if groundhog emerges from its burrow on a cloudy day\, the spring will come early. If it’s sunny\, the groundhog will see its shadow and come back into its burrow which means that the cold winter weather will persist for 6 more weeks. \nGroundhog Day has a pagan origin. There is a pagan festival of Imbolc celebrated on February 1 that included weather prediction. On this day people were watching if serpents or badgers came from their winter burrows. \nThis festival developed into a German tradition to predict weather watchihg the behavior of badgers. Early German immigrants brought their tradition to the U.S. but there were no badgers\, so they were substituted with groundhogs. \nThe largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Pennsylvania. There are different customs\, social events and speeches. The festival begins early in the morning when people gather to watch the groundhog emerge from its burrow.

SUMMARY:Walk Your Dog Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:January is Walk Your Dog Month and what better way to kick start your New Years Resolutions by getting out in the great outdoors and walking off some of that festive food and drink? \nWith obvious health benefits for both you and your dog(s)\, this awareness month is a great way to help dust off the January blues\, get out and about\, meet other dog walkers and improve your own and your dogs well being. \nIn a 2017 clinical survey carried out by the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention\, it was found that 56% of dogs in the United States are obese equating to 50.2 million dogs across the Nation. \nThe number of pets with clinical obesity continues to increase. states APOP Founder\, veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward. We’re continuing to see more pets diagnosed with obesity rather than overweight. Clinical obesity results in more secondary conditions such as arthritis\, high blood pressure\, kidney disease\, and certain forms of cancer. Pets with obesity also have reduced quality of life and shorter life expectancy. \nWith the biggest reason given for not being able to exercise pets appropriately being “too busy”\, Walk Your Dog Month is a great opportunity to set yourself some small targets to get out walking with your dog and hopefully change your habits long term to the benefit of you both. \nIt is important to note that before starting any exercise regime it would be worthwhile checking that your dog doesnt have any underlying health issues and when you do start frequent dog walking\, safety is key for both you and your dog. Some things to consider include: \nWearing brightly coloured or reflective clothing\, leashes and collars. \nStay in well lit public areas \nEnsure your dog has access to plenty of fresh clean water during if on a long walk and afterwards. \nProtect your dogs feet from the elements- ice\, snow and de-icers and grit can all cause nasty sores so be sure to protect your dogs feet and wash them down afterwards. \nMake sure your dog is warm or cool enough – particularly if young\, old or with a condition such as arthritis. \nBut most of all HAVE FUN!

SUMMARY:National Bison Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Bison Day in the United States is celebrated on the first Saturday of November every year. It is dedicated to the historical\, cultural\, ecological and economic contribution of the American bison to the United States. The American bison\, also known as the American buffalo\, is a North American species of bison. Once widely spread throughout North America\, they became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century. Bison were never domesticated by Native Americans\, but today they are viewed as both a type of cattle and wild animals in the United States\, Canada and Mexico.National Bison Day was introduced in 2012. It is actively supported by Native Americans\, conservationists\, bison producers\, educators\, and other people who care about the fate of these large mammals. In 2016\, the celebration of National Bison Day entered a new stage\, as President Barack Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law\, officially making the American buffalo the national mammal of the USA. National Bison Day is marked with various events celebrating the bison. Their main goal is to emphasize the importance of the American bison as one of the symbols of the United States\, as well as the contribution of the species to maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability.

SUMMARY:National Cat Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:So what is it? Are you a cat person or dog person? That’s probably one of the most controversial questions you can ask someone. That probably explains why cats have an entire day all to themselves! \n National Cat Day was created in 2005 by Colleen Paige in an effort to raise awareness of the number of suffering cats that need care and homes. It also encourages pet owners to not take their cats for granted and shower them with affection and love! This wonderful day is held on October 29th\n Efforts\n If you’re a huge cat lover then you definitely know about this day and what’s more you’ll know what the day stands for: \n Cats should be part of a household forever and cared for properly\n Cats should be adopted\, not shopped\n Cats should be ‘done’ to improve their health\n Cats should only be adopted if you can care for him/her properly \n What Can I do?\n If you’re a big cat lover (and we assume you are as you’re reading this article) then you’ll want to join in on this day. There are plenty of things you can do from spoiling your cat with a new toy and fuss to giving her delicious food she’ll appreciate. You can even donate to the local animal shelter.

SUMMARY:Animal Road Accident Awareness Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:No animal deserves to be left in the road like rubbish following a road traffic accident.\n Today is a day to remember the fallen\, and to help spread the message of how there’s still a chance to change the fate of those who have not yet found themselves in this position. So many animals never getting the option of a second chance\, for no other reason but the driver didn’t see their lives as important enough to give them a second thought. All animals deserve a chance of survival. \n Every day in the UK\, 630 cats will be hit by cars. 25% of hits will be fatal\, meaning 75% have a good chance at survival if the driver seeks help straight away. Find out how you can help if you hit or find a cat in the road on our website.\n In Britain\, annual road casualties are estimated to account for 100\,000 fox deaths\, 50\,000 badgers\, 50\,000 deer\, 30 million birds and 29% of hedgehogs. Based on statistical analysis of those potentially unrecorded\, the realistic death rate is estimated to be around 70million animals. A waste of life summed up in numbers that are hard to comprehend. \n Wildlife casualties should be reported to your nearest wildlife rescue at http://www.helpwildlife.co.uk/sick-or-injured-wildlife/ They are specifically trained to care for and rehabilitate wildlife. Domestic pets should be taken to the nearest veterinary practice\, alive or deceased. Persons taking injured animals to a veterinarian will not incur costs. Veterinarians are only obliged to administer pain relief to relieve suffering so ensure pets are microchipped and the details kept up to date.

SUMMARY:World Animal Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Animal Day is a day of action recognised worldwide for animal rights as well as welfare. It is celebrated on 4 October\, Francis of Assisi feast day\, the animals’ patron saint. \nThe mission of this day is raising the status of animals to improve welfare standards worldwide. Building the celebration of this day brings together the animal welfare movement\, and mobilises it to become a global force in making the world that we live in a better and safer place for all animals. \nThe World Animal Day is celebrated in various ways in every nation\, irrespective of political ideology\, faith\, religion or nationality. Through increased awareness plus education\, we are able to create a world whereby animals are always acknowledged as sentient beings plus full regard is constantly paid to their welfare. \nHeinrich Zimmermann started the World Animal Day. On 24 March 1925\, he organised the first-ever World Animal Day at Sports Palace located it Berlin\, German. More than 5\,000 people attended the first event. It was initially scheduled for 4 Oct to align with Saint Francis of Assisi feast day\, but the venue wasn’t available on that very day. In 1929\, the World Animal Day was moved to 4 Oct for the first time. \nAt first\, he only found a following in Czechoslovakia\, Switzerland\, Austria and Germany. Every year\, Zimmermann worked with great effort to promote the World Animal Day. Eventually\, in May 1931 while he was at the ISAR congress in Florence\, Italy\, Zimmermann’s proposal to make 4 Oct World Animal Day internationally recognised\, was unanimously accepted and it was adopted as a resolution.

SUMMARY:World Habitat Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October of every year as World Habitat Day. \nThe purpose of World Habitat Day is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities\, and on the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day was established in 1985 by the United Nations General Assembly through Resolution 40/202\, and was first celebrated in 1986. \nEach year\, World Habitat Day takes on a new theme to bring attention to UN-Habitat’s mandate to promote sustainable development policies that ensure adequate shelter for all. \nThe theme for this year’s World Habitat Day is Accelerating urban action for a carbon-free world. Cities are responsible for some 70 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions with transport\, buildings\, energy\, and waste management accounting for the bulk of urban greenhouse gas emissions. \nThe future of our planet depends on national\, regional and local governments and organizations\, communities\, academic institutions\, the private sector and all relevant stakeholders working together to create sustainable\, carbon-neutral\, inclusive cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day will amplify the global Race to Zero Campaign and UN-Habitat’s ClimateAction4Cities and encourage local governments to develop actionable zero-carbon plans in the run up to the international climate change summit COP26 in November. \nMore information about this year’s World Habitat Day celebrations will be posted soon. \nPlease feel free to contact us on our NEW email address: unhabitat-whd@un.org

SUMMARY:Wool Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:After much deliberation we are thrilled to announce that Shetland Wool Week will be going ahead in person this year. It will be a scaled back version of our usual physical event as our main focus will be on delivering SWW in full for 2023. \n\nThe all-important dates are Saturday 24 September to Sunday 2 October 2022.\n\nFor the past two years we have run a virtual event\, but this year\, with Covid restrictions lifting around the world\, we wanted to take our first steps towards bringing a physical event back and will be calling it ‘Casting on Shetland Wool Week’. \nThis temporary name change is an indication of how this year’s event will be quite different in scale from previous physical Wool Weeks. With the ongoing uncertainty of new Covid variants\, and ever-mindful of our small island community\, our programme will be reduced in size from previous years. \nHow will this year’s SWW be different?\nWhile this year’s event will include classes in popular topics\, such as Fair Isle knitting\, weaving and lace\, we will not have the variety and sheer number of workshops as before\, so there will be limited capacity and choice. There will be tours\, talks and textile drop ins at community halls throughout the isles\, but it is looking likely that the large-scale public gatherings\, such as the opening ceremony\, and much-loved Hub space at the Shetland Museum may be omitted.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:National Dog Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Dog Day is an annual event celebrated on August 26. \nNational Dog Day was established in 2004 by animal advocate & pet and family lifestyle expert Coleen Paige. The aim of the awareness day is to raise awareness about the number of dogs that are currently in rescue centres and encourage the adoption of these animals. \nSadly\, each year\, millions of dogs become homeless because they are unwanted or their owners are unable to care for them. National Dog Day aims to encourage people to adopt dogs from shelters and rescue organisations. \nLife in lockdown has not only allowed us to spend more quality time at home with our families (of the human kind)\, but also with our pets too! Whether your pet has become your new working from home buddy\, or they’ve just been there keeping your spirits up…this precious time has given us the opportunity to witness all their cute quirks and funny personalities more than ever! \nWith this in mind\, to celebrate National Dog Day\, Safestyle previously launched a nationwide #DoginWindow photo competition to tie in with this special day. Find out more here. \n

SUMMARY:National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:As humans \, we tend to take our health pretty seriously. But when was the last time you took your cat for a general check up? If the answer is ‘you can’t remember’ then use today as a gentle reminder to get your feline friend booked in for a health check. National Take Your Cat To The Vet Day on August 22nd is the day used to remind cat owners to pay a visit to the Vets. \n American Veterinary Medical Association have over the years established numerous pet health awareness events\, that encourage pet owners to visit the vet. While you may think that your pet cat is at pretty low risk of picking up illnesses\, they can often become infected with dangerous diseases from stray cats\, found roaming the streets. \n While keeping your pussy inside is likely to protect your him or her from danger\, you can bring a virus or helminth eggs on your shoes. There are also many common illnesses that cats can develop and that can go unnoticed for a period of time. We know how well loved and cared for your pets are\, but nevertheless\, don’t waste time and take your cat to the vet to find out\, if your pet is in a good health condition. And then give them a special treat for the upheaval! \n

SUMMARY:International Cat Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:August the 8th is International Cat Day\, and it’s not hard to see why our little feline friends hold such a special place in our affections. \nFunny cat videos\, memes and cute pictures of cats are some of the most viewed content online\, which just confirms our obsession with the furry things. While research shows that watching funny cat videos online can boost a person’s energy and create positive emotions\, according to the experts owning a cat can also be good for your heart. Petting a cat is said to reduce stress levels\, and with people having such hectic lives\, they can be an easier and less demanding choice of pet than owning a dog. \nIf you ask me i’d say that cats have more than earned their extra treats and cuddles this International Cat Day\, so go on\, show your appreciation to that moggy in your life or buy that extra pack of cat food at the shops to donate to your local rescue centre as a little thanks to our four legged pals!

SUMMARY:Clean Beaches Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:An initiative established by The Clean Beaches Coalition\, Clean Beaches week is celebrated annually from July 1st – July 7th. With so much media attention focussing on the effects of our waste on marine life\, the oceans and our coastal landscape this is an excellent opportunity to be proactive and attempt to address a small part of the overall problem while raising awareness of a much larger global challenge. \nIn 2007 the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the National Clean Beaches Week Resolution by unanimous consent. \nKnown as the Earth Day for beaches\, hundreds of events are organized locally on beaches around the USA and include beach clean ups\, art fairs\, seafood festivals and other educational events aiming to raise awareness about respecting the beach and surrounding environment. \nThe coalition has set 7 simple reminders for those using the beach which they hope will assist the preservation of the beaches as well as protect people from the natural hazards that can occur at the shore. \n1. Leave no trace (what you carry in\, carry out) \n2. Move your body (walk\, run or swim) \n3. Don’t tread the dunes (use a walkover or walk-thru) \n4. Know your limits (swim\, surf and boat safely) \n5. You are what you eat (eat healthy seafood) \n6. Feed your mind. (read a book) \n7. Respect the Ocean (riptides\, storms\, natural resources) \nThe Clean Beaches Coalition also certifies beaches across the USA\, some of which are included in the annual USA Today Listing of the 10Best Beaches. A panel of beach experts along with 10Best contributors picked the shortlist with the top 10 winners chosen by popular vote. \nThe 4th of July is the biggest day for beach visits in the USA\, so why not go along and offer a helping hand and don’t forget the 7 Principles! \n

SUMMARY:Rabbit Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Head to the Rabbit Awareness Week website to find out how you can get involved in Rabbit Awareness Week 2022. \nRAAG brings together the expertise of the RAW partners who have successfully campaigned to improve the welfare of pet rabbits for the past 15 years. \nLed by Burgess Pet Care\, the RAAG comprises the RSPCA\, Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWAF)\, Wood Green The Animals Charity\, PDSA and Blue Cross. \nThe Rabbit Awareness Action Group (RAAG) is the trusted voice for rabbit welfare\, which draws on the combined knowledge of a coalition of experts who have\, for the past 15 years\, campaigned effectively through Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) to improve the lives of pet rabbits. \nThe formation of the RAAG reflects the need to establish an on-going dialogue that ensures rabbit welfare remains high on the agenda year-round. Members of the RAAG are committed to raising awareness of the five key welfare needs of pet rabbits among owners\, particularly in light of the recent launch of the first Good Practice Code for Rabbit Welfare. \nRecognising that rabbits are one of the UK’s most owned\, but least understood\, animals\, the RAAG is determined to build on the profound and positive campaigning\, which 15 years of RAW has already achieved. Recent RAW campaigns include ‘Move Away from Muesli’\, to highlight the health risks associated with muesli-style diets\, which has resulted in fewer rabbits being fed muesli as one of their main food types – down from 49% in 2011 to 18% in 2020. This\, along with other key campaigns\, will be a key focus for the RAAG over the coming years\, helping to ensure that the UK’s pet rabbits are able to lead happy and healthy lives.

SUMMARY:World Sand Dune Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:A World Sand Dune Day is being setup to highlight the importance of sand dunes. \nHealthy dunes provide habitats for a wealth of rare and specialised wildlife. These include a range of wildflowers\, bryophytes\, invertebrates and insects who require bare sand habitat to survive.Coastal sand dunes are also beautiful and important landscapes for communities\, both as recreational spaces allowing personal connection with nature\, and as places filled with cultural heritage and celebrated sites of historic renown. \nOver the last 80 years\, open sand has largely disappeared from UK sand dunes\, being replaced by dense grass and scrub. This change has been caused by factors such as the introduction of non-native plants\, lower levels of grazing\, climate change and air pollution. As the dunes have become more stable and overgrown\, rare wildlife has declined. \nThe day is being set up by the Twyni Byw-Sands of LIFE and Dynamic Dunescapes projects. These are two projects working to protect sand dunes and the wildlife that depends upon them. Events are still currently at planning stage\, but you can keep in touch by visiting their twitter accounts: @TwyniByw and @DynamicDunes. The hashtag for the day will be #WorldSandDuneDay. \nSands of LIFE (LIFE17 NAT/UK/000023) is a major conservation project to revitalise sand dunes across Wales. It will recreate natural movement in the dunes and rejuvenate habitats which are home to some of our rarest wildlife. The £4 million project\, led by Natural Resources Wales (NRW)\, will restore over 2400 hectares of sand dunes\, across four Special Areas of Conservation\, on 10 separate Welsh sites. The project has received 75% funding from the LIFE Programme of the European Union\, with the Welsh Government providing 25% match funding. \nDynamic Dunescapes (HG-16-08643; LIFE17 NAT/UK/000570-DuneLIFE) is a partnership project rejuvenating sand dunes in England and Wales. Project partners are Natural England\, Plantlife\, Natural Resources Wales\, National Trust and The Wildlife Trusts. The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the EU LIFE Programme. For more information visit http://www.dynamicdunescapes.co.uk

SUMMARY:Hug Your Cat Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Hug Your Cat Day\, sometimes referred to as National Hug Your Cat Day\, is an unofficial holiday celebrated on June 4. \nIt is a perfect opportunity for all cat owners to express a little extra love to their furry companions. The origin of Hug Your Cat is unknown\, which is quite common for unofficial fun holidays. But do you really need justification to give a hug to your furry friend? Go ahead and give your cat a big squeeze! \nIf your cat is a cuddler\, consider yourself lucky. You can curl up on your couch\, cuddling with your cat. In case your pet is not fond of hugs\, make it quick and beware of claws. Not only is cuddling with cats pleasant\, it is also believed to be beneficial for human health. Cats are thought to be able to improve the psychological state of their owners by alleviating negative moods. \nAccording to studies\, cat purring helps reduce stress levels and makes us feel calmer\, which is good for our cardiovascular system. If you don’t have your own cat to hug\, ask a friend who owns a cat to lend you their pet for some much needed cuddling. We are sure they won’t deny you! Or you can adopt a cat from a local shelter and hug your new pet as much as you want. \nIf you are allergic to cats\, you can at least watch cute cat videos on YouTube or cat gifs on Tumlbr.

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue. \nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR.

SUMMARY:Bird Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:There are several ecological observances to honor birds. \n Bird Day in the USA\, that falls on May 4\, is one of the oldest observances. Bird Day was established by school superintendent Charles Babcock in Oil City\, Pennsylvania\, in 1894. Babcock intended to advance bird conservation as a moral value\, that is why he introduced the holiday. \n That year the holiday was celebrated for the first time by the schools of Pennsylvania. Babcock organized a holiday for children that had two main goals: to tell children about the importance of various bird species conservation and improve their environment with bird houses.Babcock’s idea gained nationwide support in the beginning of the 20th century\, and later it made its way to Europe. \n Even today Bird Day is observed in many countries\, but it’s not so popular as National Bird Day\, that falls on January 5. \n There are other ecological observances to honor birds\, improve and protect their environment. These are International Migratory Bird Day and International Bird Day.

SUMMARY:Crufts 2022
DESCRIPTION:As the official awards ceremony of the Kennel Club\, Crufts is the world’s biggest dog show and gives you unfettered access to the world’s best dogs across every breed. From races and agility courses to processions and examinations\, our furry friends are put through their paces and are awarded for their prowess. \n Whether you’re a dog owner or not\, this experience is one that’s worth enjoying\, even just on TV – the dog names alone are some of the most mind-boggling creations known to man. For example\, over the last few years\, we’ve seen entrants called “Bumblecorn Cats Nightmare”\, “Whinchat Viking Flagship” and “Afterglow Miami Ink”. So long as their monikers are under 24 characters\, pretty much anything’s fair game. \n Fun fact: the winner of Best in Show at Crufts only gets a replica of the original trophy\, alongside a meagre £100. That said\, there’s plenty of money in sponsorship deals…

SUMMARY:World Spay Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Nine of the UK’s animal welfare charities* have joined forces to promote World Spay Day 2022 to encourage cat owners to have their cats spayed. Spaying protects cats from getting pregnant – this is also known as neutering\, fixing or being done. \n Recent research has shown that 70% of litters in the UK are unplanned. \n Our advice is simple – have your cat spayed at four months to protect her from getting pregnant. \n Male cats should be neutered too\, to protect them catching diseases and getting nasty injuries from fighting – a male cat which hasn’t been neutered is much more likely to fight over a female mate. Neutering can also help to stop male cats from spraying indoors – which can be really smelly. He’s also more likely to stay close to home as a neutered male cat is less likely to stray. \n You may be able to get help with the cost of having your cat neutered. \n To take a look at the World Spay Day events near you\, click here \n World Spay Day is supported by: \n The Blue Cross \n Battersea Dogs & Cats Home \n Cats Protection \n Celia Hammond Animal Trust \n International Cat Care \n Mayhew Animal Home \n PDSA \n RSPCA \n Wood Green Animal Charity

SUMMARY:Groundhog Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:February 2 is Groundhog Day in the USA and Canada. Everyone watches the groundhog emerge from its burrow hoping that it will predict the coming of the spring. \n According to folklore\, if groundhog emerges from its burrow on a cloudy day\, the spring will come early. If it’s sunny\, the groundhog will see its shadow and come back into its burrow which means that the cold winter weather will persist for 6 more weeks. \n Groundhog Day has a pagan origin. There is a pagan festival of Imbolc celebrated on February 1 that included weather prediction. On this day people were watching if serpents or badgers came from their winter burrows. \n This festival developed into a German tradition to predict weather watchihg the behavior of badgers. Early German immigrants brought their tradition to the U.S. but there were no badgers\, so they were substituted with groundhogs. \n The largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Pennsylvania. There are different customs\, social events and speeches. The festival begins early in the morning when people gather to watch the groundhog emerge from its burrow.

SUMMARY:Spay/Neuter Awareness Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, more than 6 million dogs and cats wind up in animal shelters in the U.S. and approximately half of them must be euthanized because there aren’t enough good homes for them. \n The single most important thing that we can do to save cats and dogs from the suffering and death caused by overpopulation is to get our animal companions spayed/ neutered. \n Every February on the last Tuesday of the month\, World Spay Day celebrates the importance of animal birth control and encourages all guardians of dogs and cats to have them spayed or neutered. \n In honor of World Spay Day and throughout all of February\, which is National Spay/Neuter Awareness Month‚ PETA have rounded up some of their favorite celebrity campaigns promoting animal birth control.

SUMMARY:Walk Your Dog Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:January is Walk Your Dog Month and what better way to kick start your New Years Resolutions by getting out in the great outdoors and walking off some of that festive food and drink? \nWith obvious health benefits for both you and your dog(s)\, this awareness month is a great way to help dust off the January blues\, get out and about\, meet other dog walkers and improve your own and your dogs well being. \nIn a 2017 clinical survey carried out by the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention\, it was found that 56% of dogs in the United States are obese equating to 50.2 million dogs across the Nation. \nThe number of pets with clinical obesity continues to increase. states APOP Founder\, veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward. We’re continuing to see more pets diagnosed with obesity rather than overweight. Clinical obesity results in more secondary conditions such as arthritis\, high blood pressure\, kidney disease\, and certain forms of cancer. Pets with obesity also have reduced quality of life and shorter life expectancy. \nWith the biggest reason given for not being able to exercise pets appropriately being “too busy”\, Walk Your Dog Month is a great opportunity to set yourself some small targets to get out walking with your dog and hopefully change your habits long term to the benefit of you both. \nIt is important to note that before starting any exercise regime it would be worthwhile checking that your dog doesnt have any underlying health issues and when you do start frequent dog walking\, safety is key for both you and your dog. Some things to consider include: \nWearing brightly coloured or reflective clothing\, leashes and collars. \nStay in well lit public areas \nEnsure your dog has access to plenty of fresh clean water during if on a long walk and afterwards. \nProtect your dogs feet from the elements- ice\, snow and de-icers and grit can all cause nasty sores so be sure to protect your dogs feet and wash them down afterwards. \nMake sure your dog is warm or cool enough – particularly if young\, old or with a condition such as arthritis. \nBut most of all HAVE FUN!

DESCRIPTION:National Bison Day in the United States is celebrated on the first Saturday of November every year. It is dedicated to the historical\, cultural\, ecological and economic contribution of the American bison to the United States. The American bison\, also known as the American buffalo\, is a North American species of bison. Once widely spread throughout North America\, they became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century. Bison were never domesticated by Native Americans\, but today they are viewed as both a type of cattle and wild animals in the United States\, Canada and Mexico.National Bison Day was introduced in 2012. It is actively supported by Native Americans\, conservationists\, bison producers\, educators\, and other people who care about the fate of these large mammals. In 2016\, the celebration of National Bison Day entered a new stage\, as President Barack Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law\, officially making the American buffalo the national mammal of the USA. National Bison Day is marked with various events celebrating the bison. Their main goal is to emphasize the importance of the American bison as one of the symbols of the United States\, as well as the contribution of the species to maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability.

SUMMARY:World Vegan Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is World Vegan Day?\nEvery year on 1st November\, vegans across the world celebrate and champion their vegan lifestyle. They believe that this way of living is beneficial not only to what it can do as far as your health goes but also in cultivating environmental protection while taking care of animals lives too! \nWorld Vegan Day was created as a way for vegans from across the world to celebrate their lifestyle\, meet other like-minded people and share their experiences. \nWhen is World Vegan Day?\nThe event takes place every November 1st\, which has been chosen as it is an international day of action for animals rights! \nThe commemoration of this event began in 1994 by a UK celebrity\, Louise Wallis\, who was at the time the chair of The Vegan Society\, as they celebrated its 50th birthday\, the coinage of the terms vegan and veganism\, as well as the inception of The Vegan Society. \nNot wanting the event to coincide with others like Day of the Dead and Halloween\, and because of the doubts as to the exact date in November 1944 when the society was started\, Wallis decided to go with the first day of November. \nHow to get involved with World Vegan Day?\nFor many people\, World Vegan Day is a day to commemorate and celebrate their commitment to living the vegan lifestyle. Around the globe there are exhibitions that present information on how you can go about starting your own journey with this lifestyle; seminars where experts answer questions from attendees regarding any concerns they may have- such as protein intake or vitamin D deficiency and public debates between plant-based supporters of differing views but all united under one banner: nonhuman liberation! \nWorld Vegan Day can be a great opportunity for anyone looking into adopting this lifestyle while also learning more through lectures given by influencers in the Vegan community. It’s also a perfect chance for individuals to advocate the lifestyle\, share ideas and sensitize their friends on its importance as well as how they feel. \nSome of the prominent celebrities who usually commemorate the event include Ellen DeGeneres\, Ariana Grande\, Stevie Wonder\, Peter Dinklage\, Bellamy Young\, James Cameron\, Pamela Anderson among others.

SUMMARY:Animal Road Accident Awareness Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:No animal deserves to be left in the road like rubbish following a road traffic accident.\nToday is a day to remember the fallen\, and to help spread the message of how there’s still a chance to change the fate of those who have not yet found themselves in this position. So many animals never getting the option of a second chance\, for no other reason but the driver didn’t see their lives as important enough to give them a second thought. All animals deserve a chance of survival. \nEvery day in the UK\, 630 cats will be hit by cars. 25% of hits will be fatal\, meaning 75% have a good chance at survival if the driver seeks help straight away. Find out how you can help if you hit or find a cat in the road on our website.\nIn Britain\, annual road casualties are estimated to account for 100\,000 fox deaths\, 50\,000 badgers\, 50\,000 deer\, 30 million birds and 29% of hedgehogs. Based on statistical analysis of those potentially unrecorded\, the realistic death rate is estimated to be around 70million animals. A waste of life summed up in numbers that are hard to comprehend. \nWildlife casualties should be reported to your nearest wildlife rescue at http://www.helpwildlife.co.uk/sick-or-injured-wildlife/ They are specifically trained to care for and rehabilitate wildlife. Domestic pets should be taken to the nearest veterinary practice\, alive or deceased. Persons taking injured animals to a veterinarian will not incur costs. Veterinarians are only obliged to administer pain relief to relieve suffering so ensure pets are microchipped and the details kept up to date.

SUMMARY:Wool Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:After careful consideration\, it is with great regret that we write to inform you that Shetland Wool Week 2021 is cancelled due to the ongoing concerns relating to the Coronavirus pandemic.  We are deeply saddened that our annual gathering of wool aficionados and friends will not take place this autumn. \nWe have held off in the hope that there would be more positive news. While the initial roll out of vaccines is encouraging\, it is still a time of great uncertainty and our primary concern is for the safety of the island community and our Wool Week visitors\, who join us from all over the world. It is our view that cancelling the event is the responsible thing to do. \nHaving reviewed the situation in detail we do not feel we can deliver a socially distanced physical event that will capture the spirit of SWW. So many of you join us to make friends in large and small groups\, be spontaneous\, take hands-on\, practical classes\, and drop in to the numerous events that are laid on by the Shetland public throughout the isles. \nWe want to deliver a Wool Week that you have come to know and love and we will prepare for something really special for 2022. \nFor this year though\, we will replace the event with an online version during what would have been SWW: 25 September – 3 October 2021 and build on the success and enthusiasm for last year’s virtual programme.  A SWW Annual publication for 2021 is also planned. \nAs always\, we thank you for your continued support and we look forward to sharing our virtual plans with you. In the meantime you can look back at some of our virtual highlights from last year on our YouTube channel and on SWW IGTV. \nThe Campaign for Wool’s annual Wool Week is designed to educate\, inspire and promote the benefits of wool. This will run from the 25th September 3rd October.

SUMMARY:World Habitat Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October of every year as World Habitat Day. \nThe purpose of World Habitat Day is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities\, and on the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day was established in 1985 by the United Nations General Assembly through Resolution 40/202\, and was first celebrated in 1986. \nEach year\, World Habitat Day takes on a new theme to bring attention to UN-Habitat’s mandate to promote sustainable development policies that ensure adequate shelter for all. \nThe theme for this year’s World Habitat Day is Accelerating urban action for a carbon-free world.  Cities are responsible for some 70 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions with transport\, buildings\, energy\, and waste management accounting for the bulk of urban greenhouse gas emissions. \nThe future of our planet depends on national\, regional and local governments and organizations\, communities\, academic institutions\, the private sector and all relevant stakeholders working together to create sustainable\, carbon-neutral\, inclusive cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day will amplify the global Race to Zero Campaign and UN-Habitat’s ClimateAction4Cities and encourage local governments to develop actionable zero-carbon plans in the run up to the international climate change summit COP26 in November. \nMore information about this year’s World Habitat Day celebrations will be posted soon. \nPlease feel free to contact us on our NEW email address: unhabitat-whd@un.org

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:National Dog Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Dog Day is an annual event celebrated on August 26. \nNational Dog Day was established in 2004 by animal advocate & pet and family lifestyle expert Coleen Paige. The aim of the awareness day is to raise awareness about the number of dogs that are currently in rescue centres and encourage the adoption of these animals. \nSadly\, each year\, millions of dogs become homeless because they are unwanted or their owners are unable to care for them. National Dog Day aims to encourage people to adopt dogs from shelters and rescue organisations. \nLife in lockdown has not only allowed us to spend more quality time at home with our families (of the human kind)\, but also with our pets too! Whether your pet has become your new working from home buddy\, or they’ve just been there keeping your spirits up…this precious time has given us the opportunity to witness all their cute quirks and funny personalities more than ever!  \nWith this in mind\, to celebrate National Dog Day\, Safestyle previously launched a nationwide #DoginWindow photo competition to tie in with this special day. Find out more here. \n

DESCRIPTION:As humans \, we tend to take our health pretty seriously. But when was the last time you took your cat for a general check up? If the answer is ‘you can’t remember’ then use today as a gentle reminder to get your feline friend booked in for a health check. National Take Your Cat To The Vet Day on August 22nd is the day used to remind cat owners to pay a visit to the Vets. \nAmerican Veterinary Medical Association have over the years established numerous pet health awareness events\, that encourage pet owners to visit the vet. While you may think that your pet cat is at pretty low risk of picking up illnesses\, they can often become infected with dangerous diseases from stray cats\, found roaming the streets. \nWhile keeping your pussy inside is likely to protect your him or her from danger\, you can bring a virus or helminth eggs on your shoes. There are also many common illnesses that cats can develop and that can go unnoticed for a period of time. We know how well loved and cared for your pets are\, but nevertheless\, don’t waste time and take your cat to the vet to find out\, if your pet is in a good health condition. And then give them a special treat for the upheaval! \n

SUMMARY:International Cat Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:August the 8th is International Cat Day\, and it’s not hard to see why our little feline friends hold such a special place in our affections. \nFunny cat videos\, memes and cute pictures of cats are some of the most viewed content online\, which just confirms our obsession with the furry things. While research shows that watching funny cat videos online can boost a person’s energy and create positive emotions\, according to the experts owning a cat can also be good for your heart. Petting a cat is said to reduce stress levels\, and with people having such hectic lives\, they can be an easier and less demanding choice of pet than owning a dog. \nIf you ask me i’d say that cats have more than earned their extra treats and cuddles this International Cat Day\, so go on\, show your appreciation to that moggy in your life or buy that extra pack of cat food at the shops to donate to your local rescue centre as a little thanks to our four legged pals!

SUMMARY:Clean Beaches Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:An initiative established by The Clean Beaches Coalition\, Clean Beaches week is celebrated annually from July 1st – July 7th. With so much media attention focussing on the effects of our waste on marine life\, the oceans and our coastal landscape this is an excellent opportunity to be proactive and attempt to address a small part of the overall problem while raising awareness of a much larger global challenge. \nIn 2007 the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the National Clean Beaches Week Resolution by unanimous consent. \nKnown as the Earth Day for beaches\, hundreds of events are organized locally on beaches around the USA and include beach clean ups\, art fairs\, seafood festivals and other educational events aiming to raise awareness about respecting the beach and surrounding environment. \nThe coalition has set 7 simple reminders for those using the beach which they hope will assist the preservation of the beaches as well as protect people from the natural hazards that can occur at the shore. \n1. Leave no trace (what you carry in\, carry out)\n2. Move your body (walk\, run or swim)\n3. Don’t tread the dunes (use a walkover or walk-thru)\n4. Know your limits (swim\, surf and boat safely)\n5. You are what you eat (eat healthy seafood)\n6. Feed your mind. (read a book)\n7. Respect the Ocean (riptides\, storms\, natural resources) \nThe Clean Beaches Coalition also certifies beaches across the USA\, some of which are included in the annual USA Today Listing of the 10Best Beaches. A panel of beach experts along with 10Best contributors picked the shortlist with the top 10 winners chosen by popular vote. \nThe 4th of July is the biggest day for beach visits in the USA\, so why not go along and offer a helping hand and don’t forget the 7 Principles! \n

SUMMARY:Hug Your Cat Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Hug Your Cat Day\, sometimes referred to as National Hug Your Cat Day\, is an unofficial holiday celebrated on June 4. \nIt is a perfect opportunity for all cat owners to express a little extra love to their furry companions. The origin of Hug Your Cat is unknown\, which is quite common for unofficial fun holidays. But do you really need justification to give a hug to your furry friend? Go ahead and give your cat a big squeeze! \nIf your cat is a cuddler\, consider yourself lucky. You can curl up on your couch\, cuddling with your cat. In case your pet is not fond of hugs\, make it quick and beware of claws. Not only is cuddling with cats pleasant\, it is also believed to be beneficial for human health. Cats are thought to be able to improve the psychological state of their owners by alleviating negative moods. \nAccording to studies\, cat purring helps reduce stress levels and makes us feel calmer\, which is good for our cardiovascular system. If you don’t have your own cat to hug\, ask a friend who owns a cat to lend you their pet for some much needed cuddling. We are sure they won’t deny you! Or you can adopt a cat from a local shelter and hug your new pet as much as you want. \nIf you are allergic to cats\, you can at least watch cute cat videos on YouTube or cat gifs on Tumlbr.

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue. \nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR.

SUMMARY:Bird Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:There are several ecological observances to honor birds. \nBird Day in the USA\, that falls on May 4\, is one of the oldest observances. Bird Day was established by school superintendent Charles Babcock in Oil City\, Pennsylvania\, in 1894. Babcock intended to advance bird conservation as a moral value\, that is why he introduced the holiday. \nThat year the holiday was celebrated for the first time by the schools of Pennsylvania. Babcock organized a holiday for children that had two main goals: to tell children about the importance of various bird species conservation and improve their environment with bird houses.Babcock’s idea gained nationwide support in the beginning of the 20th century\, and later it made its way to Europe. \nEven today Bird Day is observed in many countries\, but it’s not so popular as National Bird Day\, that falls on January 5. \nThere are other ecological observances to honor birds\, improve and protect their environment. These are International Migratory Bird Day and International Bird Day.

SUMMARY:Crufts 2021
DESCRIPTION:As the official awards ceremony of the Kennel Club\, Crufts is the world’s biggest dog show and gives you unfettered access to the world’s best dogs across every breed. From races and agility courses to processions and examinations\, our furry friends are put through their paces and are awarded for their prowess. \nWhether you’re a dog owner or not\, this experience is one that’s worth enjoying\, even just on TV – the dog names alone are some of the most mind-boggling creations known to man. For example\, over the last few years\, we’ve seen entrants called “Bumblecorn Cats Nightmare”\, “Whinchat Viking Flagship” and “Afterglow Miami Ink”. So long as their monikers are under 24 characters\, pretty much anything’s fair game. \nFun fact: the winner of Best in Show at Crufts only gets a replica of the original trophy\, alongside a meagre £100. That said\, there’s plenty of money in sponsorship deals…

SUMMARY:World Spay Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Nine of the UK’s animal welfare charities* have joined forces to promote World Spay Day 2021 to encourage cat owners to have their cats spayed. Spaying protects cats from getting pregnant – this is also known as neutering\, fixing or being done. \nRecent research has shown that 70% of litters in the UK are unplanned. \nOur advice is simple – have your cat spayed at four months to protect her from getting pregnant. \nMale cats should be neutered too\, to protect them catching diseases and getting nasty injuries from fighting – a male cat which hasn’t been neutered is much more likely to fight over a female mate. Neutering can also help to stop male cats from spraying indoors – which can be really smelly. He’s also more likely to stay close to home as a neutered male cat is less likely to stray. \nYou may be able to get help with the cost of having your cat neutered. \nTo take a look at the World Spay Day events near you\, click here \nWorld Spay Day is supported by: \nThe Blue Cross\nBattersea Dogs & Cats Home\nCats Protection\nCelia Hammond Animal Trust\nInternational Cat Care\nMayhew Animal Home\nPDSA\nRSPCA\nWood Green Animal Charity

SUMMARY:Groundhog Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:February 2 is Groundhog Day in the USA and Canada. Everyone watches the groundhog emerge from its burrow hoping that it will predict the coming of the spring. \nAccording to folklore\, if groundhog emerges from its burrow on a cloudy day\, the spring will come early. If it’s sunny\, the groundhog will see its shadow and come back into its burrow which means that the cold winter weather will persist for 6 more weeks. \nGroundhog Day has a pagan origin. There is a pagan festival of Imbolc celebrated on February 1 that included weather prediction. On this day people were watching if serpents or badgers came from their winter burrows. \nThis festival developed into a German tradition to predict weather watchihg the behavior of badgers. Early German immigrants brought their tradition to the U.S. but there were no badgers\, so they were substituted with groundhogs. \nThe largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Pennsylvania. There are different customs\, social events and speeches. The festival begins early in the morning when people gather to watch the groundhog emerge from its burrow.

SUMMARY:Spay/Neuter Awareness Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, more than 6 million dogs and cats wind up in animal shelters in the U.S. and approximately half of them must be euthanized because there aren’t enough good homes for them. \nThe single most important thing that we can do to save cats and dogs from the suffering and death caused by overpopulation is to get our animal companions spayed/ neutered. \nEvery February on the last Tuesday of the month\, World Spay Day celebrates the importance of animal birth control and encourages all guardians of dogs and cats to have them spayed or neutered. \nIn honor of World Spay Day and throughout all of February\, which is National Spay/Neuter Awareness Month‚ PETA have rounded up some of their favorite celebrity campaigns promoting animal birth control. Check out which stars have spoken up to spread this important message.

SUMMARY:Walk Your Dog Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:January is Walk Your Dog Month and what better way to kick start your New Years Resolutions by getting out in the great outdoors and walking off some of that festive food and drink? \nWith obvious health benefits for both you and your dog(s)\, this awareness month is a great way to help dust off the January blues\, get out and about\, meet other dog walkers and improve your own and your dogs well being. \nIn a 2017 clinical survey carried out by the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention\, it was found that 56% of dogs in the United States are obese equating to 50.2 million dogs across the Nation. \nThe number of pets with clinical obesity continues to increase. states APOP Founder\, veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward. We’re continuing to see more pets diagnosed with obesity rather than overweight. Clinical obesity results in more secondary conditions such as arthritis\, high blood pressure\, kidney disease\, and certain forms of cancer. Pets with obesity also have reduced quality of life and shorter life expectancy. \nWith the biggest reason given for not being able to exercise pets appropriately being “too busy”\, Walk Your Dog Month is a great opportunity to set yourself some small targets to get out walking with your dog and hopefully change your habits long term to the benefit of you both. \nIt is important to note that before starting any exercise regime it would be worthwhile checking that your dog doesnt have any underlying health issues and when you do start frequent dog walking\, safety is key for both you and your dog. Some things to consider include: \n\nWearing brightly coloured or reflective clothing\, leashes and collars.\nStay in well lit public areas\nEnsure your dog has access to plenty of fresh clean water during if on a long walk and afterwards.\nProtect your dogs feet from the elements- ice\, snow and de-icers and grit can all cause nasty sores so be sure to protect your dogs feet and wash them down afterwards.\nMake sure your dog is warm or cool enough – particularly if young\, old or with a condition such as arthritis.\n\nBut most of all HAVE FUN!

SUMMARY:Wildlife Conservation Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The world’s best loved species are being slaughtered by widespread and dangerous criminal networks. Driven by a voracious demand for illegal animal parts and products\, the black market in wildlife rivals illegal arms and drugs. Increasingly\, wildlife traffickers are the same kingpins involved in trafficking people and arms and narcotics. \nWWF joined the call to action put out by Secretary of State Secretary Clinton to raise awareness and engage conservationists like you on Wildlife Conservation Day\, December 4. \nWildlife crime is a serious crime\, not a distant problem in a faraway country \nIt is a global challenge that spans continents and crosses oceans. It matters\, and not just because we care about elephants\, rhinos and tigers. Park rangers on the frontlines of conservation are being killed. Local communities that depend on wildlife for tourism or sustenance are being robbed of their livelihoods. Corruption and intimidation are weakening law enforcement efforts. Unscreened wildlife and wildlife parts increase the risk of human health pandemics such as bird flu. And regional security is compromised as militarized groups cash in on this lucrative and rapidly growing trade\, using it to finance insurrection and even terrorist activity.

SUMMARY:National Bison Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Bison Day in the United States is celebrated on the first Saturday of November every year. It is dedicated to the historical\, cultural\, ecological and economic contribution of the American bison to the United States. The American bison\, also known as the American buffalo\, is a North American species of bison. Once widely spread throughout North America\, they became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century. Bison were never domesticated by Native Americans\, but today they are viewed as both a type of cattle and wild animals in the United States\, Canada and Mexico.National Bison Day was introduced in 2012. It is actively supported by Native Americans\, conservationists\, bison producers\, educators\, and other people who care about the fate of these large mammals.

SUMMARY:National Cat Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Cat Day on October 29th is the purrfect day to give extra attention to your feline friends. \nCats make excellent companions. They rarely miss you\, but when they do\, you sure know it. Awareness days such as this one urge pet lovers to adopt from a local shelter. The day also reminds us that neutering and spaying our furry companions helps reduce the abandoned population. \nShelters are full of cats and kittens in need of forever homes. These feline fur babies come with as many personalities as they do colors and coats. They curl into our hearts and will just as quickly remind us they decide who they love. Whether they were born in the shelter\, surrendered or abandoned\, 3.4 million find their way to a shelter. \nWhen considering the adoption of a furbaby\, take your time. Each shelter animal will touch your heart\, so be sure to find a life-long love. \n\nConsider your lifestyle. Will you have time for an active kitten or will an adult cat be more to your pace?\nMake multiple visits before making a choice. Sometimes\, the purrfect cat will choose you.\nSpend one-on-one time with the cat so you have some bonding meowments and her true personality comes through.\nDo other members of your fur family need to be considered? If so\, be sure to introduce them to be sure their personalities mesh.\nWhen you bring your new family member home\, have a space ready for him to decompress and adjust to his new abode. Don’t be surprised if he hides at first. This is normal cat behavior.\nHOW TO OBSERVE #NationalCatDay\nPay particular attention to your cat today. Adopt a new cat. Use #NationalCatDay to post on social media.\n\nNATIONAL CAT DAY HISTORY\nThis day was created by Pet Lifestyle Expert and Animal Welfare Advocate\, Colleen Paige\, in 2005. Since its inception\, it has helped save the lives of more than one million cats.

SUMMARY:Animal Road Accident Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:No animal deserves to be left in the road like rubbish following a road traffic accident.\nToday is a day to remember the fallen\, and to help spread the message of how there’s still a chance to change the fate of those who have not yet found themselves in this position. So many animals never getting the option of a second chance\, for no other reason but the driver didn’t see their lives as important enough to give them a second thought. All animals deserve a chance of survival. \nEvery day in the UK\, 630 cats will be hit by cars. 25% of hits will be fatal\, meaning 75% have a good chance at survival if the driver seeks help straight away. Find out how you can help if you hit or find a cat in the road on our website.\nIn Britain\, annual road casualties are estimated to account for 100\,000 fox deaths\, 50\,000 badgers\, 50\,000 deer\, 30 million birds and 29% of hedgehogs. Based on statistical analysis of those potentially unrecorded\, the realistic death rate is estimated to be around 70million animals. A waste of life summed up in numbers that are hard to comprehend. \nWildlife casualties should be reported to your nearest wildlife rescue at http://www.helpwildlife.co.uk/sick-or-injured-wildlife/ They are specifically trained to care for and rehabilitate wildlife. Domestic pets should be taken to the nearest veterinary practice\, alive or deceased. Persons taking injured animals to a veterinarian will not incur costs. Veterinarians are only obliged to administer pain relief to relieve suffering so ensure pets are microchipped and the details kept up to date.

It was initially scheduled for 4 Oct to align with Saint Francis of Assisi feast day\, but the venue wasn’t available on that very day. In 1929\, the World Animal Day was moved to 4 Oct for the first time. \nAt first\, he only found a following in Czechoslovakia\, Switzerland\, Austria and Germany.

SUMMARY:National Hunting and Fishing Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Hunting and Fishing Day is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Saturday in September. \nFirst proclaimed in 1972 by President Richard Nixon following a suggestion in 1960 by local Pennsylvania gun shop owner Ira Joffe\, the day was originally suggested as an official day of gratitude to outdoor sportsmen. The first official Outdoor Sportsmen Day was celebrated in 1970 with the day becoming nationally recognized two years later. \nContrary to popular belief\, anglers and hunters are avid supporters of wildlife conservation. They stand for sustainable use of game and fish. American outdoor sportsmen have made a great contribution to protecting and improving vital habitat and saving many species from unregulated exploitation. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day focuses on raising public awareness about the importance of the wise use of natural resources\, promoting wildlife conversation and outdoor sports. On this day\, local\, state\, regional and national organizations hold fishing- and hunting-related events providing participants with an opportunity to experience traditional outdoor sports. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day\, celebrated the fourth Saturday of every September\, remains the most effective grassroots efforts ever undertaken to promote the outdoor sports and conservation. \nWith events taking place across the country\, why not visit the dedicated website to find out whats going on in your area. This is not only a great opportunity to learn a new sport\, but also to become more involved with conservation and environmental issues.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:International Cat Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:August the 8th is International Cat Day\, and it’s not hard to see why our little feline friends hold such a special place in our affections. \nFunny cat videos\, memes and cute pictures of cats are some of the most viewed content online\, which just confirms our obsession with the furry things. While research shows that watching funny cat videos online can boost a person’s energy and create positive emotions\, according to the experts owning a cat can also be good for your heart. Petting a cat is said to reduce stress levels\, and with people having such hectic lives\, they can be an easier and less demanding choice of pet than owning a dog. \nIf you ask me i’d say that cats have more than earned their extra treats and cuddles this International Cat Day\, so go on\, show your appreciation to that moggy in your life or buy that extra pack of cat food at the shops to donate to your local rescue centre as a little thanks to our four legged pals!

SUMMARY:National Marine Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Running from the 25th of July to the 9th of August\, to take advantage of the tides\, National Marine Week is a chance to celebrate the wonderful wildlife found in the seas around the UK\, and our relationship with this incredible habitat that surrounds us. \nWildlife Trusts around the UK will be holding sea-themed events\, from snorkelling through the waters of Wembury Bay in Devon\, to exploring the rockpools of Yorkshire’s Boggle Hole on a seashore safari\, or even picnicking with a porpoise on the clifftops of North Wales. \nNo matter where you are in the UK\, there’s plenty to celebrate: our seas are home to over half of all our wildlife (more than 30\,000 species)\, contribute to flood management and water purification\, and provide the oxygen for every other breath you take! \nAnd remember\, in the UK you’re never more than 70 miles from the sea. \nLearn more about events and how you can get involved on our National Marine Week page.

SUMMARY:Clean Beaches Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:An initiative established by The Clean Beaches Coalition\, Clean Beaches week is celebrated annually from July 1st – July 7th. With so much media attention focussing on the effects of our waste on marine life\, the oceans and our coastal landscape this is an excellent opportunity to be proactive and attempt to address a small part of the overall problem while raising awareness of a much larger global challenge. \nIn 2007 the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the National Clean Beaches Week Resolution by unanimous consent. \nKnown as the Earth Day for beaches\, hundreds of events are organized locally on beaches around the USA and include beach clean ups\, art fairs\, seafood festivals and other educational events aiming to raise awareness about respecting the beach and surrounding environment. \nThe coalition has set 7 simple reminders for those using the beach which they hope will assist the preservation of the beaches as well as protect people from the natural hazards that can occur at the shore. \n1. Leave no trace (what you carry in\, carry out)\n2. Move your body (walk\, run or swim)\n3. Don’t tread the dunes (use a walkover or walk-thru)\n4. Know your limits (swim\, surf and boat safely)\n5. You are what you eat (eat healthy seafood)\n6. Feed your mind. (read a book)\n7. Respect the Ocean (riptides\, storms\, natural resources) \nThe Clean Beaches Coalition also certifies beaches across the USA\, some of which are included in the annual USA Today Listing of the 10Best Beaches. A panel of beach experts along with 10Best contributors picked the shortlist with the top 10 winners chosen by popular vote. \nThe 4th of July is the biggest day for beach visits in the USA\, so why not go along and offer a helping hand and don’t forget the 7 Principles! \n

SUMMARY:Hug Your Cat Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Hug Your Cat Day\, sometimes referred to as National Hug Your Cat Day\, is an unofficial holiday celebrated on June 4. \nIt is a perfect opportunity for all cat owners to express a little extra love to their furry companions. The origin of Hug Your Cat is unknown\, which is quite common for unofficial fun holidays. But do you really need justification to give a hug to your furry friend? Go ahead and give your cat a big squeeze! \nIf your cat is a cuddler\, consider yourself lucky. You can curl up on your couch\, cuddling with your cat. In case your pet is not fond of hugs\, make it quick and beware of claws. Not only is cuddling with cats pleasant\, it is also believed to be beneficial for human health. Cats are thought to be able to improve the psychological state of their owners by alleviating negative moods. \nAccording to studies\, cat purring helps reduce stress levels and makes us feel calmer\, which is good for our cardiovascular system. If you don’t have your own cat to hug\, ask a friend who owns a cat to lend you their pet for some much needed cuddling. We are sure they won’t deny you! Or you can adopt a cat from a local shelter and hug your new pet as much as you want. \nIf you are allergic to cats\, you can at least watch cute cat videos on YouTube or cat gifs on Tumlbr.

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue. \nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR.

SUMMARY:Bird Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:There are several ecological observances to honor birds. \nBird Day in the USA\, that falls on May 4\, is one of the oldest observances. Bird Day was established by school superintendent Charles Babcock in Oil City\, Pennsylvania\, in 1894. Babcock intended to advance bird conservation as a moral value\, that is why he introduced the holiday. \nThat year the holiday was celebrated for the first time by the schools of Pennsylvania. Babcock organized a holiday for children that had two main goals: to tell children about the importance of various bird species conservation and improve their environment with bird houses.Babcock’s idea gained nationwide support in the beginning of the 20th century\, and later it made its way to Europe. \nEven today Bird Day is observed in many countries\, but it’s not so popular as National Bird Day\, that falls on January 5. \nThere are other ecological observances to honor birds\, improve and protect their environment. These are International Migratory Bird Day and International Bird Day.

SUMMARY:Crufts 2020
DESCRIPTION:As the official awards ceremony of the Kennel Club\, Crufts is the world’s biggest dog show and gives you unfettered access to the world’s best dogs across every breed. From races and agility courses to processions and examinations\, our furry friends are put through their paces and are awarded for their prowess. \nWhether you’re a dog owner or not\, this experience is one that’s worth enjoying\, even just on TV – the dog names alone are some of the most mind-boggling creations known to man. For example\, over the last few years\, we’ve seen entrants called “Bumblecorn Cats Nightmare”\, “Whinchat Viking Flagship” and “Afterglow Miami Ink”. So long as their monikers are under 24 characters\, pretty much anything’s fair game. \nFun fact: the winner of Best in Show at Crufts only gets a replica of the original trophy\, alongside a meagre £100. That said\, there’s plenty of money in sponsorship deals…

SUMMARY:World Spay Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Nine of the UK’s animal welfare charities* have joined forces to promote World Spay Day 2020 to encourage cat owners to have their cats spayed. Spaying protects cats from getting pregnant – this is also known as neutering\, fixing or being done. \nRecent research has shown that 70% of litters in the UK are unplanned. \nOur advice is simple – have your cat spayed at four months to protect her from getting pregnant. \nMale cats should be neutered too\, to protect them catching diseases and getting nasty injuries from fighting – a male cat which hasn’t been neutered is much more likely to fight over a female mate. Neutering can also help to stop male cats from spraying indoors – which can be really smelly. He’s also more likely to stay close to home as a neutered male cat is less likely to stray. \nYou may be able to get help with the cost of having your cat neutered. \nTo take a look at the World Spay Day events near you\, click here \nWorld Spay Day is supported by: \nThe Blue Cross\nBattersea Dogs & Cats Home\nCats Protection\nCelia Hammond Animal Trust\nInternational Cat Care\nMayhew Animal Home\nPDSA\nRSPCA\nWood Green Animal Charity

SUMMARY:Groundhog Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:February 2 is Groundhog Day in the USA and Canada. Everyone watches the groundhog emerge from its burrow hoping that it will predict the coming of the spring. \nAccording to folklore\, if groundhog emerges from its burrow on a cloudy day\, the spring will come early. If it’s sunny\, the groundhog will see its shadow and come back into its burrow which means that the cold winter weather will persist for 6 more weeks. \nGroundhog Day has a pagan origin. There is a pagan festival of Imbolc celebrated on February 1 that included weather prediction. On this day people were watching if serpents or badgers came from their winter burrows. \nThis festival developed into a German tradition to predict weather watchihg the behavior of badgers. Early German immigrants brought their tradition to the U.S. but there were no badgers\, so they were substituted with groundhogs. \nThe largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Pennsylvania. There are different customs\, social events and speeches. The festival begins early in the morning when people gather to watch the groundhog emerge from its burrow.

SUMMARY:Spay/Neuter Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, more than 6 million dogs and cats wind up in animal shelters in the U.S. and approximately half of them must be euthanized because there aren’t enough good homes for them. \nThe single most important thing that we can do to save cats and dogs from the suffering and death caused by overpopulation is to get our animal companions spayed/ neutered. \nEvery February on the last Tuesday of the month\, World Spay Day celebrates the importance of animal birth control and encourages all guardians of dogs and cats to have them spayed or neutered. \nIn honor of World Spay Day and throughout all of February\, which is National Spay/Neuter Awareness Month‚ PETA have rounded up some of their favorite celebrity campaigns promoting animal birth control.

SUMMARY:Walk Your Dog Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:January is Walk Your Dog Month and what better way to kick start your New Years Resolutions by getting out in the great outdoors and walking off some of that festive food and drink? \nWith obvious health benefits for both you and your dog(s)\, this awareness month is a great way to help dust off the January blues\, get out and about\, meet other dog walkers and improve your own and your dogs well being. \nIn a 2017 clinical survey carried out by the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention\, it was found that 56% of dogs in the United States are obese equating to 50.2 million dogs across the Nation. \nThe number of pets with clinical obesity continues to increase. states APOP Founder\, veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward. We’re continuing to see more pets diagnosed with obesity rather than overweight. Clinical obesity results in more secondary conditions such as arthritis\, high blood pressure\, kidney disease\, and certain forms of cancer. Pets with obesity also have reduced quality of life and shorter life expectancy. \nWith the biggest reason given for not being able to exercise pets appropriately being “too busy”\, Walk Your Dog Month is a great opportunity to set yourself some small targets to get out walking with your dog and hopefully change your habits long term to the benefit of you both. \nIt is important to note that before starting any exercise regime it would be worthwhile checking that your dog doesnt have any underlying health issues and when you do start frequent dog walking\, safety is key for both you and your dog. Some things to consider include: \n\nWearing brightly coloured or reflective clothing\, leashes and collars.\nStay in well lit public areas\nEnsure your dog has access to plenty of fresh clean water during if on a long walk and afterwards.\nProtect your dogs feet from the elements- ice\, snow and de-icers and grit can all cause nasty sores so be sure to protect your dogs feet and wash them down afterwards.\nMake sure your dog is warm or cool enough – particularly if young\, old or with a condition such as arthritis.\n\nBut most of all HAVE FUN!

SUMMARY:National Bison Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Bison Day in the United States is celebrated on the first Saturday of November every year. It is dedicated to the historical\, cultural\, ecological and economic contribution of the American bison to the United States. The American bison\, also known as the American buffalo\, is a North American species of bison. Once widely spread throughout North America\, they became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century. Bison were never domesticated by Native Americans\, but today they are viewed as both a type of cattle and wild animals in the United States\, Canada and Mexico.National Bison Day was introduced in 2012. It is actively supported by Native Americans\, conservationists\, bison producers\, educators\, and other people who care about the fate of these large mammals. In 2016\, the celebration of National Bison Day entered a new stage\, as President Barack Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law\, officially making the American buffalo the national mammal of the USA. National Bison Day is marked with various events celebrating the bison. Their main goal is to emphasize the importance of the American bison as one of the symbols of the United States\, as well as the contribution of the species to maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability.

SUMMARY:World Animal Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:World Animal Day is a day of action recognised worldwide for animal rights as well as welfare. It is celebrated on 4 October\, Francis of Assisi feast day\, the animals’ patron saint. \nThe mission of this day is raising the status of animals to improve welfare standards worldwide. Building the celebration of this day brings together the animal welfare movement\, and mobilises it to become a global force in making the world that we live in a better and safer place for all animals. \nThe World Animal Day is celebrated in various ways in every nation\, irrespective of political ideology\, faith\, religion or nationality. Through increased awareness plus education\, we are able to create a world whereby animals are always acknowledged as sentient beings plus full regard is constantly paid to their welfare. \nHeinrich Zimmermann started the World Animal Day. On 24 March 1925\, he organised the first-ever World Animal Day at Sports Palace located it Berlin\, German. More than 5\,000 people attended the first event. It was initially scheduled for 4 Oct to align with Saint Francis of Assisi feast day\, but the venue wasn’t available on that very day. In 1929\, the World Animal Day was moved to 4 Oct for the first time. \nAt first\, he only found a following in Czechoslovakia\, Switzerland\, Austria and Germany. Every year\, Zimmermann worked with great effort to promote the World Animal Day. Eventually\, in May 1931 while he was at the ISAR congress in Florence\, Italy\, Zimmermann’s proposal to make 4 Oct World Animal Day internationally recognised\, was unanimously accepted and it was adopted as a resolution.

SUMMARY:National Hunting and Fishing Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Hunting and Fishing Day is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Saturday in September. \nFirst proclaimed in 1972 by President Richard Nixon following a suggestion in 1960 by local Pennsylvania gun shop owner Ira Joffe\, the day was originally suggested as an official day of gratitude to outdoor sportsmen.  The first official Outdoor Sportsmen Day was celebrated in 1970 with the day becoming nationally recognised two years later. \nContrary to popular belief\, anglers and hunters are avid supporters of wildlife conservation. They stand for sustainable use of game and fish. American outdoor sportsmen have made a great contribution to protecting and improving vital habitat and saving many species from unregulated exploitation. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day focuses on raising public awareness about the importance of the wise use of natural resources\, promoting wildlife conversation and outdoor sports. On this day\, local\, state\, regional and national organizations hold fishing- and hunting-related events providing participants with an opportunity to experience traditional outdoor sports. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day\, celebrated the fourth Saturday of every September\, remains the most effective grassroots efforts ever undertaken to promote the outdoor sports and conservation. \nWith events taking place across the country\, why not visit the dedicated website to find out whats going on in your area.  This is niot only a great opportunity to learn a new sport\, but also to become more involved with conservation and environmental issues.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:International Cat Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:August the 8th is International Cat Day\, and it’s not hard to see why our little feline friends hold such a special place in our affections. \nFunny cat videos\, memes and cute pictures of cats are some of the most viewed content online\, which just confirms our obsession with the furry things.

SUMMARY:Hug Your Cat Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Hug Your Cat Day\, sometimes referred to as National Hug Your Cat Day\, is an unofficial holiday celebrated on June 4. \nIt is a perfect opportunity for all cat owners to express a little extra love to their furry companions. The origin of Hug Your Cat is unknown\, which is quite common for unofficial fun holidays. But do you really need justification to give a hug to your furry friend? Go ahead and give your cat a big squeeze! \nIf your cat is a cuddler\, consider yourself lucky. You can curl up on your couch\, cuddling with your cat. In case your pet is not fond of hugs\, make it quick and beware of claws. Not only is cuddling with cats pleasant\, it is also believed to be beneficial for human health. Cats are thought to be able to improve the psychological state of their owners by alleviating negative moods. \nAccording to studies\, cat purring helps reduce stress levels and makes us feel calmer\, which is good for our cardiovascular system. If you don’t have your own cat to hug\, ask a friend who owns a cat to lend you their pet for some much needed cuddling. We are sure they won’t deny you! Or you can adopt a cat from a local shelter and hug your new pet as much as you want. \nIf you are allergic to cats\, you can at least watch cute cat videos on YouTube or cat gifs on Tumlbr.

It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR.

SUMMARY:World Spay Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Nine of the UK’s animal welfare charities* have joined forces to promote World Spay Day 2019 to encourage cat owners to have their cats spayed. Spaying protects cats from getting pregnant – this is also known as neutering\, fixing or being done. \nRecent research has shown that 70% of litters in the UK are unplanned. \nOur advice is simple – have your cat spayed at four months to protect her from getting pregnant. \nMale cats should be neutered too\, to protect them catching diseases and getting nasty injuries from fighting – a male cat which hasn’t been neutered is much more likely to fight over a female mate. Neutering can also help to stop male cats from spraying indoors – which can be really smelly. He’s also more likely to stay close to home as a neutered male cat is less likely to stray. \nYou may be able to get help with the cost of having your cat neutered. \nTo take a look at the World Spay Day events near you\, click here \nWorld Spay Day is supported by:\n\nThe Blue Cross\nBattersea Dogs & Cats Home\nCats Protection \nCelia Hammond Animal Trust\nInternational Cat Care\nMayhew Animal Home\nPDSA\nRSPCA\nWood Green Animal Charity

SUMMARY:Groundhog Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:February 2 is Groundhog Day in the USA and Canada. Everyone watches the groundhog emerge from its burrow hoping that it will predict the coming of the spring. \nAccording to folklore\, if groundhog emerges from its burrow on a cloudy day\, the spring will come early. If it’s sunny\, the groundhog will see its shadow and come back into its burrow which means that the cold winter weather will persist for 6 more weeks. \nGroundhog Day has a pagan origin. There is a pagan festival of Imbolc celebrated on February 1 that included weather prediction. On this day people were watching if serpents or badgers came from their winter burrows. \nThis festival developed into a German tradition to predict weather watchihg the behavior of badgers. Early German immigrants brought their tradition to the U.S. but there were no badgers\, so they were substituted with groundhogs. \nThe largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Pennsylvania. There are different customs\, social events and speeches. The festival begins early in the morning when people gather to watch the groundhog emerge from its burrow.

SUMMARY:Spay/Neuter Awareness Month 2019
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, more than 6 million dogs and cats wind up in animal shelters in the U.S.\, and approximately half of them must be euthanized because there aren’t enough good homes for them. \n\nThe single most important thing that we can do to save cats and dogs from the suffering and death caused by overpopulation is to get our animal companions “fixed.”\n\nEvery February on the last Tuesday of the month\, World Spay Day celebrates the importance of animal birth control and encourages all guardians of dogs and cats to have them spayed or neutered. \nIn honor of World Spay Day—and all of February\, which is National Spay/Neuter Awareness Month—PETA have rounded up some of their favorite celebrity campaigns promoting animal birth control.

SUMMARY:Big Garden Birdwatch 2019
DESCRIPTION:Big Garden Birdwatch is the world’s largest garden wildlife survey. We’ve got everything you need to know about joining in! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s the history of Big Garden Birdwatch?\n\nLet’s rewind the clock and start at the beginning! \nIt’s 1979 and we’re looking for a simple winter activity that our junior membership can get involved in. As it’s likely to be cold and the evenings dark\, we think a weekend activity in the garden would be best. \nSo\, we asked our members to count the birds in their gardens\, all at the same time\, so we could work out what the UK’s top 10 most common garden birds are. \nBiddy Baxter – then editor of Blue Peter – liked the idea so much that she featured the survey on one of the programmes. We only expected a few hundred children to take part but\, thanks to Biddy’s coverage\, we actually received more than 34\,000 forms! \nAnd that’s how our ‘one-off’ activity grew into the regular event it is today. Although it wasn’t until 2001 that we invited adults to join in the fun\, too \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Walk Your Dog Month 2019
DESCRIPTION:January is Walk Your Dog Month and what better way to kick start your New Years Resolutions by getting out in the great outdoors and walking off some of that festive food and drink? \nWith obvious health benefits for both you and your dog(s)\, this awareness month is a great way to help dust off the January blues\, get out and about\, meet other dog walkers and improve your own and your dogs well being. \nIn a 2017 clinical survey carried out by the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention\, it was found that 56% of dogs in the United States are obese equating to 50.2 million dogs across the Nation. \n“The number of pets with clinical obesity continues to increase.” states APOP Founder\, veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward. “We’re continuing to see more pets diagnosed with obesity rather than overweight. Clinical obesity results in more secondary conditions such as arthritis\, high blood pressure\, kidney disease\, and certain forms of cancer. Pets with obesity also have reduced quality of life and shorter life expectancy.” \nWith the biggest reason given for not being able to exercise pets appropriately being “too busy”\, Walk Your Dog Month is a great opportunity to set yourself some small targets to get out walking with your dog and hopefully change your habits long term to the benefit of you both. \nIt is important to note that before starting any exercise regime it would be worthwhile checking that your dog doesnt have any underlying health issues and when you do start frequent dog walking\, safety is key for both you and your dog.  Some things to consider include: \n\nwearing brightly coloured or reflective clothing\, leashes and collars.\nStay in well lit public areas\nEnsure your dog has access to plenty of fresh clean water during if on a long walk and afterwards.\nProtect your dogs feet from the elements- ice\, snow and de-icers and grit can all cause nasty sores so be sure to protect your dogs feet and wash them down afterwards.\nMake sure your dog is warm or cool enough – particularly if young\, old or with a condition such as arthritis.\n\nBut most of all HAVE FUN!

SUMMARY:National Cat Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:So what is it? Are you a cat person or dog person? That’s probably one of the most controversial questions you can ask someone. That probably explains why cats have an entire day all to themselves! \nOrigins\nNational Cat Day was created in 2005 by Colleen Paige in an effort to raise awareness of the number of suffering cats that need care and homes. It also encourages pet owners to not take their cats for granted and shower them with affection and love! This wonderful day is held on October 29th \nEfforts\nIf you’re a huge cat lover then you definitely know about this day and what’s more you’ll know what the day stands for: \n\nCats should be part of a household forever and cared for properly\nCats should be adopted\, not shopped\nCats should be ‘done’ to improve their health\nCats should only be adopted if you can care for him/her properly\n\nWhat Can I do?\nIf you’re a big cat lover (and we assume you are as you’re reading this article) then you’ll want to join in on this day. There are plenty of things you can do from spoiling your cat with a new toy and fuss to giving her delicious food she’ll appreciate. You can even donate to the local animal shelter.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:National Honey Bee Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Honey Bee Day is an awareness day for the bees. The event was started in 2009 by beekeepers of the United States to promote and educate public about the bee industry. \nThis event is annually observed on the third Saturday in August. A small group of beekeepers petitioned a formal proclamation of National Honey Bee day by the USDA in 2009. That year the first observance of this event took place on August 22\, that was the fourth Saturday in August. \nThe next year the observance was promoted and facilitated by a non-profit organization Pennsylvania Apiculture Inc.\, and the date of event was moved to the third Saturday in August.Bees play a very important role in our life. \nThe thing is not in production of honey\, but in pollination of a large varieties of plants. They pollinate almost all crops and trees\, thus we may enjoy different vegetables and fruits. Without bees we would have nothing to eat. Moreover\, their work is free\, but the service of pollination is valued in billions of dollars.National Honey Bee Day is annually observed to educate people about the importance of honey bees. This event also promotes the work of beekeepers\, making it more popular among the Americans.

SUMMARY:International Cat Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:August the 8th is International Cat Day\, and it’s not hard to see why our little feline friends hold such a special place in our affections. \nFunny cat videos\, memes and cute pictures of cats are some of the most viewed content online\, which just confirms our obsession with the furry things. While research shows that watching funny cat videos online can boost a person’s energy and create positive emotions\, according to the experts owning a cat can also be good for your heart. Petting a cat is said to reduce stress levels\, and with people having such hectic lives\, they can be an easier and less demanding choice of pet than owning a dog. \nIf you ask me i’d say that cats have more than earned their extra treats and cuddles this International Cat Day\, so go on\, show your appreciation to that moggy in your life or buy that extra pack of cat food at the shops to donate to your local rescue centre as a little thanks to our four legged pals!

SUMMARY:Crufts 2018
DESCRIPTION:As the official awards ceremony of the Kennel Club\, Crufts is the world’s biggest dog show and gives you unfettered access to the world’s best dogs across every breed. From races and agility courses to processions and examinations\, our furry friends are put through their paces and are awarded for their prowess. \nWhether you’re a dog owner or not\, this experience is one that’s worth enjoying\, even just on TV – the dog names alone are some of the most mind-boggling creations known to man. For example\, over the last few years\, we’ve seen entrants called “Bumblecorn Cats Nightmare”\, “Whinchat Viking Flagship” and “Afterglow Miami Ink”. So long as their monikers are under 24 characters\, pretty much anything’s fair game. \nFun fact: the winner of Best in Show at Crufts only gets a replica of the original trophy\, alongside a meagre £100. That said\, there’s plenty of money in sponsorship deals…

SUMMARY:National Love Your Pet Day
DESCRIPTION:February 20th is Love Your Pet Day and it’s a great day to show your love for our little furry friends. Whether you’re a cat lover\, a dog lover or you’ve got a family of chimpanzees sharing your home with you\, today’s the day to spoil them even more than you normally do and show them how much they mean to your family. \nIf you love pets but don’t have any you could still get involved by calling by your local RSPCA or pet rescue centre and making a donation of food or treats. You could also look into how to volunteer to spend a little time at your local pet rescue centre maybe walking one of the dogs there or giving a little bit of your time to the cats at the cattery. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Veganuary
DESCRIPTION:Launched in the UK in January 2014\, Veganuary (pronounced vee-GAN-uary) is a registered charity (1168566) that encourages people to try vegan for January.\nVeganism is one of the most effective choices a person can make to reduce the suffering of animals\, help the planet and improve personal health. \nVeganuary is dedicated to changing public attitudes\, while providing all the information and practical support required to make the transition to veganism as easy and enjoyable as possible. Veganuary has had an incredible degree of success in a very short time and is changing lives all over the world. \nVeganuary’s founders\, Jane and Matthew\, knew that month-long pledges were not unusual\, but felt that it could be done differently\, and perhaps more successfully\, by focusing on the month of January; a time for resolutions and new beginnings.
