All over the world on October 4, Animal Day is celebrated, which aims to raise people's awareness of the injustices done to the animal world, but also to encourage state bodies to respect the legal provisions that care for the protection of animals.
According to data from the World Conservation Union, 21 percent of all known mammal species are endangered, 30 percent of aquatic species, 12 percent of birds, 28 percent of reptiles, 37 percent of fish and 35 percent of non-invertebrates.
