World Animal Day 2025 Awards Serbia – Priznanja ambasadora Svetskog Dana Zivotinja
SERBIAN
Ovim putem želimo da vas obavestimo o predstojećem obeležavanju Svetskog dana životinja u našoj zemlji, kao i o priznanjima koje se već osmu godinu za redom tradicionalno dodeljuju istaknutim pojedincima i institucijama koje pokazuju izuzetno interesovanje i zalaganje za promociju dobrobiti i zaštite životinja u našoj zemlji.
Priznanje će ove godine biti dodeljeno kompanijama Lidl Srbija i Premium pet za društveno odgovoran rad, pomoć napuštenim životinjama i organizacijama za zaštitu životinja.
Izuzetno je važno to što su ove kompanije prepoznale zaštitu životinja i problem napuštenih životinja kao važnu oblast koju treba uvrstiti u programe finansiranja i doniranja u svom poslovanju, kako bi se pomoglo brojnim ljudima i organizacijma koji se bave ovim poslom.
Upravo ovakav iskorak je veoma važan za sve druge organizacije i institucije koje se bave zaštitom životinja i promocijom njihove dobrobiti, ali i za celokupnu zajednicu koja se na ovaj način osvešćuje i senzibiliše kako bi imala razumevanja i za potrebe životinja i njihovog statusa u društvu.
Do sada ovo priznanje dodeljeno je istaktnutim ličnostima poput akademika Dušana Kovačevića, prof. dr. Ratka Božovića, kantaurtorke Aleksandre Kovač, glumice Gorice Popović, reditelja Gorana Paskaljevića kao i društveno odgovornim kompanijama i organizacijama.
Svetski dan zaštite životinja obeležava se 4. oktobra još od 1931. godine. Počelo je u Firenci na konvenciji ekologa. U to vreme ovaj dan se proslavljao kao dan sv. Franje Asiškog, sveca zaštitnika životinja i životne sredine. Vremenom je izgubio svoje versko obeležje i odavno predstavlja praznik svih ljubitelja i zaštitnika životinja bez obzira na veru i naciju.
Ovog dana sve organizacije za zaštitu životinja i svi azili za životinje u svetu otvaraju svoja vrata za posetioce, organizuju informativno-edukativne štandove, radionice, razne vrste edukacija, prikupljanje donacija i razne druge aktivnosti.
Mreža Svetskog dana životinja okuplja sve organizacije koje proslavljaju ovaj dan, a sve radi što bolje i efikasnije zaštite životinja i promocije njihove dobrobiti.
Svake godine nastojimo da skrenemo posebnu pažnju na određenu oblast zaštite životinja, problem ili ličnost koja je obeležila prethodnu godinu, a ove godine to je Džejn Gudal koja nas je nedavno napustila. Džejn je bila jedna od najsjajnijih i najinspirativnijih osoba u istoriji čovečanstva! Posvetila svoj život zaštiti životinja, ljudi i cele planete. Promenila je način na koji razumemo divlje životinje i njihovu zaštitu. Bila je glas razuma koji je uspevao da približi interese životinja i ljudi, u borbi za održivi suživot i izvesnu budućnost.

We would like to inform you about the upcoming celebration of World Animal Day in our country, as well as the recognitions that have been traditionally awarded for the eighth year in a row to outstanding individuals and institutions that show exceptional interest and commitment to the promotion of the welfare and protection of animals in our country.
This year, the recognition award will be given to Lidl Serbia and Premium Pet for their socially responsible efforts in aiding abandoned animals and supporting animal protection organisations.
These companies acknowledged the significance of animal protection and the issue of abandoned animals as a vital area to be integrated into their funding and donation initiatives, to assist the numerous individuals and organisations engaged in this important work.
This step is very important for all other organisations and institutions that deal with the protection of animals and the promotion of their well-being, but also for the entire community, which in this way becomes aware and sensitised in order to understand the needs of animals and their status in society.
So far, this recognition has been awarded to outstanding personalities such as academician Dusan Kovacevic, Prof. Ph.D. Ratko Božović, singer-songwriter Aleksandra Kovac, actress Gorica Popovic, director Goran Paskaljevic, as well as socially responsible companies and organisations.
World Animal Day has been celebrated on October 4 since 1931. It started in Florence at a convention of environmentalists. At that time, this day was celebrated as St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals and the environment. Over time, it lost its religious significance and has long been a holiday for all animal lovers and protectors, regardless of religion and nationality.
On this day, all animal protection organisations and animal shelters in the world open their doors to visitors, organise informative and educational stands, workshops, various types of education, collection of donations and various other activities.
The World Animal Day network brings together all the organisations that celebrate this day, and all work to protect animals and promote their well-being as best and efficiently as possible.
Every year we try to draw special attention to a certain area of animal protection, problem or individual and this year it is Jane Goodall.
Jane devoted her life to protecting animals, humanity and the planet. She transformed our understanding of wildlife and their conservation. She also served as a rational voice that successfully bridged the gap between the needs of animals and humans, advocating for sustainable coexistence and a hopeful future.
