Colombians celebrate this on the third Saturday of September in some regions, but February 14 still brings roses, serenatas, and the aggressive marketing of every restaurant in the Zona Rosa. The real Colombian love language is bringing someone a tinto when they didn't ask for one.
Rwanda adopted Valentine's Day recently, but it landed on fertile ground. The country bills itself as a romance destination : "gorilla trekking for couples" is a real marketing phrase.

You see bald eagles, grizzly bears, and gray wolves representing the vast wildlife across North American regions. You recognize that dogs and cats are the most popular pets, followed by fish, birds, and reptiles. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
