Obviously, animals are useful for human beings. They are a part of human life. They are used for food, dairy products, entertainment and some experimentation. Besides these they are one of the fundamental parts of our eco-system.
Advocates of animal rights have different views and approaches to the issue. While some animal rights activists advocate total animal liberation, many animal welfare organizations take a more moderate approach, working for practical improvement of the relationship between animals and humans. There are some organizations in the international level concerned with the protection of animals such as American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), the Humane Society of the United States, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) etc.
Several research studies on the behaviour of animals have already proved that they also deserve intelligence and ability to understand the world. Most of the theories applicable for the humans, so far emerged, have their experiment on animals. Behavioral, psychologists claim that human behaviour can be predicted from the study of the behaviour of animals.
So, in my opinion, there must be a strong legal provision for the protection of animal rights in our country as well. In the name of worshipping god and goddesses we have the tendency of slaughtering innocent creatures in temples. The pet animals, especially oxen and mules, suffer a lot due to the cruel and inhumane deeds. We are proud of being a supreme animal and have unkind rule over other animals, which came to exist before than us in this earth. Had they had the advanced means of communication like ours they would have been ruling the world. I don’t think they would have been cruel rulers like us.
