FIAPO- Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations’ Post

Unfortunately, the recent BNS Act has removed legal protections under Section 377, leaving animals vulnerable and without recourse. Industries like slaughterhouses, dairy farms, zoos, and aquariums continue to exploit animals daily. We can all contribute by: Adopting a vegan lifestyle 🌱 Caring for community animals 🐾 Avoiding zoos and aquariums 🦓 Supporting cruelty-free brands 🛍️ Staying informed about animal protection laws 📚 Every animal deserves dignity, compassion, and these essential freedoms. Let’s work together to create a world where these rights are upheld for all beings. #IndependenceDay #IndependenceDay2024 #FiveFreedoms #5Freedoms #India #FreedomForAll #UntilEveryAnimalIsFree #Veganism #AntiSpeciesism

MYTH: Endangered animals are completely protected by animal welfare laws and so we don’t need to worry about them. FACT: In two separate investigations into zoos in Thailand, Lady Freethinker (LFT) documented widespread cruelty against orangutans and tigers. LFT Investigators documented these endangered animals in chains for tourists to take selfies with, forced to “perform” in shows, being handled roughly, and more.

Last December, the European Commission announced the changes it wants to make to update its #TransportRegulation: the legislation which most affects the welfare of countless animals in the #LiveAnimalTransport sector. The proposal seriously lacks in ambition, and continues to fail millions of animals who are left to suffer unnecessarily on long and arduous transport journeys each year. The EU needs a Transport Regulation that truly puts #AnimalWelfare first! Critically, this legislation must include a ban on live exports, as it's incredibly difficult to monitor what happens to animals once they leave the EU's borders. Just recently, the UK has officially banned this practice - it's imperative the EU follows suit. We call on newly-elected MEPs after June's #EUElections2024 to prioritise drafting a stronger Transport Regulation! Let candidates know that you want animal welfare to be placed at the top of their priority list in the next term by messaging them to do better here: https://bit.ly/4b7ULXE The fate of millions of animals hangs in the balance. Let's make our votes count. #VoteforAnimals #BanLiveExport Many thanks to Animal Welfare Foundation, Animals international and Dyrenes Beskyttelse for the use of their footage.

Another FTA with animal welfare as a condition of trade. This one also puts some restrictions around grass-fed beef; not an issue for most of our NZ producers! I’m excited to dive into this one in more detail. #trade #internationalbusiness

Statistically, animal welfare matters to you. In Europe, over 90% of us want to see animal welfare improve, while 89% of people demand an end to cage farming ✊ 🐷   Intensive industrial-scale animal rearing - 'factory farming' - is characterised by extensive, needless animal suffering and animal cruelty.   It is also a root cause of runaway greenhouse gas emissions and devastating environmental harm (think pollution of water, soil and air).   But that's not all. Another casualty from this out-of-control industry is our health, as we consume more than double the recommended amount of animal-sourced foods. All while a few at the top continue to profit from this deeply unfair system...   Improving animal welfare would end the needless suffering of billions of animals. It would also bring infinite benefits for:   ✅climate ✅environment ✅human health ✅democracy   Want to find out more?

📣#ECtHR declares, for the first time, that #animalwelfare can be linked to “public morals”, which is one of the legitimate aims exhaustively listed in Article 9 of the Convention. No violation of #freedomofreligion for obligation to stun #animals in religious #slaughter. 👉 EXECUTIEF VAN DE MOSLIMS VAN BELGIË AND OTHERS v. 🇧🇪 https://lnkd.in/eFFEbBDd 👇 #StrasbourgCourt: 🔵🐂takes note of the growing importance of animal welfare in #europe 🔵🐐reiterates that the prevention of #animalsuffering can justify interference with freedom of assembly & association under the protection of #morals (Friend and Others v. UK, concerning fox #hunting) ❗️🐏specifies that the protection of #publicmorals cannot be understood as aiming solely at the protection of #humandignity in relationships between people; even if the Convention recognizes, under its Article 1, rights and #freedoms for the benefit of individuals only, it cannot be interpreted as promoting the absolute satisfaction of the rights and freedoms that it enshrines without regard to animal suffering (§ 95) 🔵🇪🇺 recognizes that unlike #europeanunion law which establishes animal welfare as an objective of general interest, the protection of animal well-being is not an explicit object of the #ECHR. Consequently, the control of #proportionality of an interference does not consist of #balancing two #rights of equal value but of assessing whether the interference is justified in principle and whether it is proportionate with regard to the protection of public morals, taking into account the wide #marginofappreciation available to the national authorities

Like all birds, they are not covered by the Animal Welfare Act or the federal Humane Slaughter Act. Killed at only seven weeks old, these ducks are never able to fly or even touch the water. They never forage for food, preen themselves, have mates, or feel the warmth of the sun on their backs. Like billions of other animals, their most basic nature is compromised and their suffering is ignored. Fortunately, the path to a more harmonic and compassionate future is within our control, and adopting a vegan lifestyle can help put an end to this suffering. 🦆 Learn more about ducks here: https://buff.ly/2UJdXYf #vegan #veganfortheanimals #govegan #vegansofig #foodispower #foodequity #foodjustice #ethicaleater #veganism #veganactivism #whyvegan #veganactivist #friendsnotfood #stopeatinganimals #animalliberation #veganlife #veganpoc #vegancommunity #veganpower #vegans #vegansofinstagram #vegansofinsta #vegangroup #ducks #duck
