Animal Week
A special week devoted to promoting kindness to animals will be observed by animal lovers throughout the world at the beginning of October. A Dominion-wide campaign will be organised by the Council of Combined Animal Welfare Organisations of New Zealand, a body consisting of representatives from humane societies. October 4 is recognised as world day for animals because it is the day dedicated to Francis of Assisi, the patron saint and lover of animals. It has been extended to a world week for animals.
