Everyone knew what the meaning of animals is, I’m sure we are born with the knowledge of them and they also can be our pet. Many of us take a pet such as cat, dog, and fish and so on to make ourselves be comfortable with their own characteristics and also they make us happy because an expert psychologist said that talk and plays with a pet is one of the methods to discharge a feeling of stress and problems. But, don’t you realize that an amount of animals becomes down currently especially wild animals, they are extinct because of people activities such as development on a virgin forest, housing, lumbering and so on. Even this incident becomes spread widely, but many of us do not take any incentive to make sure the animals still existed in this world. Some of them just ignore about it, some of them just put the problems to the welfare groups and some of them are concern about it but do not know how to help the animals. This problem cannot be settle if WE, as a HUMAN BEING do not take this issues as an important part on our lives because it is not for us only but also for our next generation.

World Animal Day takes place every year on 4 October. Animal welfare groups, sanctuaries and individuals throughout the world hold special events to heighten public awareness of animal issues and to encourage people to think about how we as humans relate to animals.
· World Animal Day is celebrated each year on 4 October. On this day, animal life in all its forms is celebrated, and special events are planned on locations all over the globe. 4 October was originally chosen for World Animal Day because it is the feast day of Francis of Assisi, a nature lover and patron saint of animals and the environment. Numerous churches throughout the world observe the Sunday closest to 4 October with a Blessing for the Animals.
· However, World Animal Day has now gone beyond being the celebration of a Christian saint and is today observed by animal-lovers of all beliefs, nationalities and backgrounds. Animal blessings are held in churches, synagogues, and by independent Animal Chaplains in parks and fields. Animal rescue shelters hold fundraising events and open days, wildlife groups organize information displays, schools undertake animal-related project work and individuals and groups of friends or co-workers donate to animal charities or pledge to sponsor a shelter animal.
CASES
There are many cases that involved animals which is human treat animals cruel and always punished them without sympathy. One of it happened in China, according to the Associated Press, 50,000 dogs have been massacred in China. The AP reports:
1. A country in a southwestern China has killed as many as 50 000 dogs in a government ordered campaign following the deaths of three local people from rabies, official media reported on Tuesday. The five-day massacre in Yunnan province's Mouding Country spared only military guard dogs and police canine units, the Shanghai Daily reported, citing local media. Dogs being walked were taken from their owners and beaten to death on the spot, it said. Other killing teams entered villages at night creating noise to get dogs barking, and then homing in on their prey. The slaughter of 50 000 dogs is a terrible tragedy.
2. This post was submitted by Edward Indakwa, Communications Officer, for the International Fund for Animal Welfare's East Africa Regional Office in Nairobi, Kenya.
He had, like all boisterous adult male elephants, done this for years: Trumpeting and lumbering through thorny bushes to a favored waterhole in the Taita Hills Ranch near Tsavo East National Park, south-east of Kenya.
Thus the sudden and searing pain in his side was no big deal. He probably dismissed it as a harmless, thorny prick. But unbeknown to him, this was an arrowhead laced with deadly poison. It would kill him in a few hours and poachers who, like vultures, had been following as he slowly agonized to death would descend and brutally hack off his tusks.
There would be no dignified funeral. His kind would not weep around his comatose body in final salute as is the norm with elephants. Even the hyenas and vultures would keep off, forewarned by an innate alarm that his poison-drenched remains were no ordinary carcass.
Further east - approximately 100 kilometers from this spot - three other elephants had been killed in a span of six weeks, on private ranches, too.
The turnaround has game wardens, like the Tsavo Parks’ Assistant Director in charge, Jonathan Kirui, confounded. “This trend is worrying. Elephants are dying from poisoned arrows outside the park, not the armed gangs we are accustomed to. Arrows are deadly because they are silent. Unlike gunshots, you only get to hear about it when it’s too late, when the elephant is dead and the poachers long gone,” he says. But middle men and international profiteers have even more lucrative incentives for killing elephants, with a kilo of ivory fetching, according to experts, more than US$850 on the international black market.
3. Now, the Internet has opened up a bustling venue for illegal trade in live gorillas, baboons, and other protected species, according to a new report. The report, released last week by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), revealed that thousands of wild animals and animal parts from live chimpanzees to whole elephant tusks are illegally offered for sale online every day. The result is a cyber black market where the future of the world's rarest animals is being traded away.
DO WE CONCERN ABOUT IT????
TAKE A BREATH AND KNOWING THE TRUTH….IT IS HAPPENING TILL NOW AND WILL NEVER BE END….
