The event has more than 70 ambassadors working in over 90 countries.
“Thanks to World Animal Day and the incredible platform it gives our projects each year, we are slowly but surely raising the status of animals in Asia,” said Jill Robinson, Ambassador & CEO of Animals Asia. “Our work continues to help and protect them all and create a world where animals are no longer exploited.”
