World Animal Day was created in 1931 in Florence, Italy by a convention of ecologists seeking to highlight the plight of endangered species. They chose October 4 as World Animal Day because it is the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. Since then, World Animal Day has become a day for remembering and paying tribute to all animals, as well as the people who love and respect them. It is celebrated in a variety of ways in every country, with no restriction in nationality, religion, faith, or political ideology.

The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Saturday. For information, visit the City’s Museum System website or call 575/522-3120.

Anyone who needs an accommodation, because of a disability, to fully participate in World Animal Day should contact the museum 48 hours prior to the event.
