​From Pantheist Vision:  

The primary goal of this day is to develop a compassionate culture to make our world a fairer place for all living creatures -- where animals are recognized as sentient beings and full regard is always paid to their welfare.  Celebrated in a variety of different ways in many countries, with no regard to nationality, religion, faith, or political ideology, World Animal Day sometimes includes a Blessing of the Animals."  Click on the picture above for more information.

It's a beautiful time to be outside, and a great time to look up!  Lots of cool things happening in the October night sky...from the Harvest Moon to the Halloween Blue Hunter's Moon and lots in between, including a meteor shower!  Just click on the picture below from the Farmer's Almanac website.
