Animals Rights

You `ve surely heard about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But…. is there such thing as a “Declaration of Animals Rights?

Yes, there is!In September 1977, the International League for Animal Rights had a meeting at London to proclaim the Universal Declaration of Animals Rights. On this presentation we´ll take a look at each one of this14 rights.

.

All animals have equal rights to exist within the context of biological equilibrium. This equality of rights does not overshadow the diversity of species and of individuals.

Article 1

Article 2

Every animal has the right to consideration, good treatment and the

protection of Man.

Animals must not be subjected to bad treatments or cruel acts. If it is necessary to kill an animal, it must be instantaneous, painless and with no

apprehension.

Article 3

Wild animals have the right to live and to reproduce in freedom in their own natural environment. The prolonged deprivation of the freedom of wild animals, hunting and fishing practised as a pastime, as well as any use of wild animals for reasons that are not vital, are contrary to this fundamental right.

Article 4

Every animal that usually lives in a domestic enviroment must live and grow to a natural rhythm for his species.

Any change to this rhythm and conditions dictated by man for mercantile purpose, is a contradiction of this law.

Article 5

Article 6

Any animal wich is dependent on Man has the right to proper sustenance and care. It must under no circunstancies be abandoned or killed unjustifiably.

Working animals must only work for a limited period and must not be worked to exhaustion. They must have adequate food

and rest.
