It’s fascinating how different people take this issue in diverse ways. As time goes by, it’s getting more contradicting since everyone has their own feelings towards animals. There are those of us who believe that animals are more or less like human beings with feeling and emotions. They too are able to feel physical and emotional pain. It is therefore undisputed that these animals have rights just like human beings do. They have the right to existence and survival, good life, good health and nutrition and a good home too. These rights should not be sacrificed merely because humans believe that the advantageous penalties for humans of such sacrifice are extra imperative than that of the shortcoming for animals. They shouldn’t be deprived of a life that they could have had, but had their rights thrown out of the community concerns. Over the past years, humans have caused excruciating twinge, anguish, and demise upon animals for diverse reasons including that of the savor of their flesh, the appearance and texture of their hair or skin, or for games such as amusement in circuses and zoos or hunting. Animals don’t have to spend their entire existence in a lab being relentlessly used for testing.
Our lack of attention and awareness in this matter despite such a horrible situation shows that our consciousness has not evolved yet. We need to keep talking to the people who create the policies and argue for mandatory spay-and-neuter regulations and we need to educate. We need to educate people about the reasons to adopt older or injured dogs. We need to educate people how to teach their dogs so they can live in harmony with us.
In this beautiful world, animals have as much right to live as human beings. In totality, the entire earth is a common property of all of us. It is our world and it is their world. Should humans have rights? Most of you would say yes. People often ask if animals should have rights, and quite simply, the answer is “Yes!” Animals surely deserve to live their lives free from suffering and exploitation. Just because we are at the top of the food chain, does that give us the right to take animal rights away? A life is a life and it should be valued, no matter what you are. Animals cannot speak for themselves and for that reason we need to protect them. Protecting them is something we should take pride in, it is our responsibility. Animal rights is the belief that animals have an intrinsic value separate from any value they have to humans and are worthy of moral consideration. They have the right to be free of oppression, confinement, use and abuse by humans. By respecting animal rights and having consideration for animal welfare, we also support ecological balance.
Street animals all over the world are in a very bad plight. They live virtually wherever cities exist and the local human population allows, especially in the developing and the former second world. Street dogs may be stray dogs, pets that have strayed from or are allowed freedom by their owners, or may be feral animals that have never been owned. Compared to the rest of the world, street animals and especially stray dogs of Nepal are in a very pitiful condition. Approximately 26,000 stray dogs live on the streets of the Kathmandu city. Most of these dogs live in a miserable condition and most of them do not die a natural death. Nepal is one of the few Asian countries without proper animal welfare legislation. Most urban stray dogs are discarded pets which have become sick, pregnant or developed aggressive behavior, or the offspring of such animals. Outbreaks of rabies are often traced to unvaccinated street dogs, one of the most common carriers of the painful and deadly disease. There are dozens of hit and run cases by speeding vehicles leaving stray animals wounded and severely injured. The plight of stray animals is devastating.
In the course of controlling the population of stray dogs, the government had started the campaign of killing them. However, the program was later discarded after it gathered massive criticism. Despite the efforts of both the government and private sectors, the number of stray dogs is yet to go down as expected. While the reasons for this tragedy are multi-faceted, they are not complicated. In addition, the problems that cause animals to become homeless and end up in the streets are preventable, with the solutions in all of our hands. If the government agents can provide proper management, the situation can improve greatly. Many dogs would have their conditions improved if they had obtained vaccination and other medical treatments timely. Proper spaying and neutering of these animals would stop further growth of animals in the streets. This would solve the problem largely.
