Today in Holidays:

Today is the feast day in honor of St. Francis of Assisi the patron saint of animals and ecology/ the environment. It is also World Animal Day, which was chosen to take place today because of it being St. Francis’ feast day. Both events are celebrated by blessing animals. It is also a time to be thankful for the animals in your life and work on improving live for all animals.

Today is also Simchat Torah starting at sundown. It is the day that is the ending and begaining of the annual cycle for reading the Torah. It has nothing to do with animals; however, it does have singing, dancing, a parade and other fun activites.
