动物权利Betway体育网页登录宣言
由Action Against Poisoning 提供

导言

　　我们认为：

　　生命是统一的，所有的生命都有一个共同的起源，只是在各个物种的演变过程中出现了差异；

　　所有的生命都拥有天赋的权利，而任何有神经系统的动物都各有其权利；

　　对这些天赋权利的轻视，甚至是简单的无知都会给大自然造成严重的破坏，导致人类对动物犯下罪行；

　　物种共存意味着人类对其他动物物种的生存权力的认知；

　　人与人之间的尊重与人对动物的尊重是不可分割的。

　　在此，我们宣告：

　　第一条
　　所有动物都生来平等，同样享有生存的权利。

　　第二条
　　1． 每个动物都有被尊重的权力。
　　2． 人类，和其他动物物种一样，不能侵犯该权力，声称自己有权消除其他动物或剥削他们。人应该用自己的良知来为动物服务。
　　3． 每一个动物都有被人体谅、善待和保护的权利。

　　第三条
　　1． 不能虐待任何动物。
　　2． 如果一个动物必须面临死亡，它的死亡应该是瞬间的，而且没有恐惧或痛苦。

　　2． 遗弃动物是一种残忍而可耻的行为。

UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF ANIMAL RIGHTS

Preamble

Considering
that Life is one, all living beings having a common origin and having
diversified in the course of the evolution of the species;

Considering
that all living beings possess natural rights, and that any animal with
a
nervous system has specific rights;

Considering
that the contempt for, and even the simple ignorance of these natural
rights
cause serious damage to nature and lead man to commit crimes against
animals;

Considering
that the coexistence of species implies a recognition by the human
species
of the right of other animal species to live;

Considering
that the respect of humans for animals is inseparable from the respect
of
man for another man.

IT IS HEREBY PROCLAIMED:

Article 1
All animals are born equal and they have the same rights to existence.

Article 2
a) Every animal has the right to be respected.
b) Man, like the animal species, cannot assume the right to exterminate
other animals or to exploit them, thereby violating this right. He

protection of man.

Article 3
a) No animal should be submitted to bad treatment or cruel actions.
b) If the death of an animal is necessary, this should be sudden and
without
fear or pain.

Article 4

in
their natural environment, and have the right to reproduce.
b) Each deprivation of freedom, even for educational purposes, is in
opposition to this right.

Article 5
a) Every animal that usually lives in a domestic environment must live
and
grow to a rhythm natural to his species.
b) Any change to this rhythm and conditions dictated by man for
mercantile
purpose, is a contradiction of this law.

Article 6
a) All animals selected by man, as companions must have a life
corresponding
to their natural longevity.
b) To abandon an animal is a cruel and degrading action.

Article 7
Working animals must only work for a limited period and must not be
worked
to exhaustion. They must have adequate food and rest.

Article 8
a) Experiments on animals that cause physical and mental pain, are
incompatible with animal rights, even if it is for medical, scientific,
commercial or any other kind of experiment.
b) A substitute technique must be investigated and developed.

Article 9
In the eventuality of an animal bred for food, it must be fed, managed,
transported and killed without it being in fear or pain.

Article 10
a) No animal should be used for entertainment.
b) Animal exhibitions and shows that use animals are incompatible with
an
animal's dignity.

Article 11
Every action that causes the unnecessary death of an animal, is cruel
which
is a crime against life.

Article 12
a) Every action that causes the death of a lot of wild animals is
genocide,
that is a crime against the species.
b) Pollution and destruction leads to the extinction of the species.

Article 13
a) Dead animals must be treated with respect.
b) Violent scenes, where animals are the victims, must be forbidden at
the
cinema and on TV, unless they are for the demonstration of animal
rights.
