World Animal Day is a day where animal lovers acknowledge and give thanks for the way in which animals enrich our lives. Also, we take a moment to think of all those animals that still need our help. We are taking this chance to spread the messages of being kind to animals and being a responsible pet owner. These are very important issues because right now, we take in more than 800 unwanted animals (pets and strays) each month.
Star appearance!Utt ( MTV VJ) will be making an appearance at our celebrations from 12.30pm to 2.30pm. He'll be on stage introducing three of our SPCA dogs that will be up for adoption, and will be talking about how to adopt a pet from us and save a life! Afterwards, you'll be able to buy an SPCA poster for $2 and Utt will autograph it especially for you.

National Parks Board
More than a thousand different animals reside on our tropical island and many of them can only be found in our nature reserves. As we celebrate World Animal Day, the National Parks Board would like to share with you how you can help protect our natural heritage so that the nature reserves can continue to be a safe haven for the animals. You can help in the following ways:
- think again before you release animals into the wild
- do not feed monkeys
- leave your pets at home when you visit nature reserves
In addition, National Parks will share information on their regular, free guided walks at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Central Catchment Nature Reserve.
