Sometimes it's created by a person who has worked with certain species extensively or by well known advocates, or it is created by animal welfare groups. For example, World Animal Day was created by Heinrich Zimmerman in 1925, a cynologist (dog scientist, simply). Colleen Paige created International Dog Day, Mutt Day, and Pet Day. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago Huh.
