Animal rights by country or territory (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Animal rights vary greatly among countries and territories. Such laws range from the legal recognition of non-human animal sentience to the absolute lack of any anti-cruelty laws, with no regard for animal welfare. As of November 2019, 32 countries have formally recognized non-human animal sentience. These are: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It has been proposed that the United Nations (UN) pass the first resolution recognizing animal rights, the Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare, which acknowledges the importance of the sentience of animals and human responsibilities towards them. The Great Ape Project is currently campaigning to have the United Nations endorse a World Declaration on Great Apes, which would extend to non-human great apes the protection of three basic interests: the right to life, the protection of individual liberty, and the prohibition of torture. Six countries currently ban the use of great apes for scientific research, and Austria is the only country in the world to ban experiments on lesser apes. In 2009, Bolivia became the first country to banish animal abuse and harm in circuses. The United States of America is the only country in the world that has banned killing horses for consumption, and India is the only country to have banned killing cows for consumption in some of its states. In 2014, the Jain pilgrimage destination of Palitana City in Indian state of Gujarat became the first city in the world to be legally vegetarian. It has banned buying and selling meat, fish, and eggs, as well as related jobs, such as fishing and animal farming. (en)
动物权利的受保護程度在各個國家和地區的有很大差別。有些國家已在法律層面承認非人类动物的感知能力，而有些國家則完全沒有任何反虐待動物的法律且亦不在意动物福利。截至 2019 年 11 月，已有 32 个国家正式承认非人类动物的感知能力（英語：animal sentience）。包括：奥地利、澳大利亚、比利时、保加利亚、智利、克罗地亚、塞浦路斯、捷克共和国、丹麦、爱沙尼亚、芬兰、法国、德国、希腊、匈牙利、爱尔兰、意大利、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、卢森堡、马耳他、新西兰、荷兰、波兰、葡萄牙、罗马尼亚、西班牙、斯洛伐克、斯洛文尼亚、瑞典、瑞士和英国。有人提议联合国（UN）通过承认动物权利的首個决议，即《世界动物福利宣言》，承认动物的感知能力以及人类对它们的责任的重要性。（英語：Great Ape Project）目前正在推動联合国批准《世界类人猿宣言》，以保护非人类类人猿的三項基本權益：生命权、個體自由和不受折磨。目前有六个国家禁止使用類人猿进行，奥地利是世界上唯一禁止用長臂猿做实验的国家。 2009 年，玻利维亚成为第一个禁止马戏团虐待和伤害动物的国家。美利坚合众国是世界上唯一一个禁止杀马作食用的國家，印度是唯一禁止宰杀奶牛作食用的國家（僅在部分州實行）。 2014年，耆那教的朝圣目的地、位於印度古吉拉特邦的帕利塔纳市成为世界第一个法定素食城市。它禁止买卖肉、鱼和蛋，以及捕鱼和畜牧业等相关工作。 (zh)
