NATIONAL FARM ANIMALS DAY – April 10

The girls board the bus and Tiffi asks Elsa where she wants to sit.

“Ok, let’s sit there,” says Elsa. “Tiffi you can sit by the window because I know that you enjoy looking at the scenery.”

Once they are settled in Elsa takes out her phone. She remembers seeing something about a National farm animals day but can’t remember the date. It doesn’t take her long to find it. She is happy to see that they haven’t missed the date. There is still a week to go. She reads the information to Tiffi.

‘Each year on April 10th, National Farm Animals Day focuses attention on the humane care of farm animals. The day also aims to find homes for abandoned and abused farm animals.

A variety of animals have been domesticated and raised on farms for food. They provide eggs, milk, cheese, meat, wool, leather, and other products. Most farmers raise their livestock responsibly. Providing a quality environment for them to grow benefits not only the animal but the farmer, too. Farmers invest in their livestock from the time they’re born, providing nutritious food, and ensuring robust and healthy development. They also provide ideal conditions for their breed. Farmers are continually educating themselves about the livestock they raise so they can provide them with the best care possible. 

However, some people do abuse and neglect their animals. When poor conditions are discovered, and animals are malnourished, it’s essential to report the case to a veterinarian for review.
