The event of this Wednesday, October 5 was expected for the second Marseille celebration of Animals Day. Around animal diversity, families and children were there to participate in fun and educational activities celebrating both companion animals and those of the surrounding natural areas.
The atmosphere was festive with a strolling show, a mini-farm, creative workshops and a makeup stand allowing children to have fun around the animal theme. Many associations responded to the municipality’s call. Thus, the Marseille Chat, the Adena association, manager of the Bagnas nature reserve, the Cestmed, responsible for the protection of sea turtles, the Bird Protection League or the Cani-marche association which promotes the sporting activity practiced with his dog were present.
The “My pet” photo competition aroused real enthusiasm with 153 photos submitted to the jury, in three different categories. Note that Harmonie Brastel will win the “Most gourmet” category; Éric Nougaret, that of “The most aesthetic” and Charles-Henry Lahr, that of “The funniest”. Prizes awarded in front of a large audience demonstrating a clear commitment to the protection and cause of animals.
