Scenes from the “Re:Born Animal Baton Festa 2024”: 18,500 visitors and 5,700 pets
What is the “Re:Born Animal Baton” initiative?
The event’s name, “Re:Born Animal Baton,” is, as the name suggests, an activity to pass the baton to the next life.
Owners will donate “lost pet items (food and pet supplies left behind by deceased pets)” and “unmatched pet items (unwanted pet items),” which will be stored as “Rainbow Items.”
These “Rainbow Items” will be donated to families who have adopted pets from rescue organizations, and as pet disaster supplies through public-private partnerships. By providing them to a new source, this initiative will help save the lives of many pets!
