World War 1 Memorial to Be Built for 1 Million Service Animals

pigeons

Would you believe that 11 million horses, donkeys, and mules, and 100,000 dogs and 200,000 pigeons served during world war 1? In fact, a pigeon named Le Valliant lost its life due to gas poisoning after delivering a letter to Commander Raynal at Fort Vaux.

The Paris Animaux Zoopolis Association, a French animal rights organization, recognizes the significant contribution of these animals during the first world war and with that, pushes for commemoration. Initially, the organization’s plans were rejected. But because they continued their campaign for the memorial, Paris City Hall finally approved their plan.

As of today, there is still no final answer as to where the location of the memorial will be. The president of Paris Animaux Zoopolis Association hopes that it will be on avenue de l’Observatoire in the 6th arrondissement due to its historical importance.
