International Raccoon Protection Day

The tradition of celebrating Raccoon Protection Day was proposed by a girl from California in 2002. She tried to prove to the public that these animals do not cause harm, as many believe, but on the contrary, are an important component of the ecosystem. Within a year, the intentions of the animal rights activist became known outside the country. There were many like-minded people who supported her idea. Since then, the holiday has gained international importance and is celebrated every year on the first day of October.

By eating harmful rodents and insects, skunks prevent their rapid reproduction, and do not skimp on carrion, which helps to maintain cleanliness in the environment. Also, these animals carry the seeds of various plants to new places, expanding the territory of their existence.

  • In addition to raccoons, there are other species of animals that, due to insufficient information about their importance, humanity considers them pests or unpleasant creatures. These include coyotes, snakes, spiders and even elephants.

The International Raccoon Protection Day was established to raise public awareness of the value of these and other animals, to prevent the destruction and destruction of the habitat in order to preserve their population.
