Derechos de los animales

Let’s celebrate animal rights.

Since 1997, December 10th has been observed as International Animal Rights Day to raise awareness among the public and the government about the need to promote and enforce these rights. Interestingly, this date coincides with the anniversary of the United Nations’ Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.

But what rights do our furry friends have? What can we celebrate?

Universal Declaration of Animal Rights: More than a Document, an Ethical Commitment.

Let’s delve into the matter and discuss the Universal Declaration of Animal Rights, adopted in 1977 in London and solemnly proclaimed at UNESCO in 1978. While lacking legal weight, this 10-article declaration raises crucial philosophical questions about our relationship with other animal species.

Evolution in Spain: New Animal Protection Law.

Now, shifting gears, let’s look at what’s happening in Spain. The Council of Ministers has given the green light to the Animal Protection Law proposed by the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030. What changes can we expect with this law?

  • Harsher penalties for animal abuse.
  • Prohibition of euthanizing pets, except for health reasons.
  • Strict regulation of the breeding of companion animals.
  • Farewell to the sale of pets in stores and their public exhibition.
  • Goodbye to circuses with wild animals.
  • Transformation of zoos and dolphinariums into recovery centers.
  • Prohibition of using animals in harmful performances.

Zoos and dolphinariums will be transformed into recovery centers.

This set of changes marks a significant milestone in the protection of animal rights in Spain, consolidating previous initiatives from various autonomous communities.

How to Contribute to Animal Welfare: Actions for the Conscious Consumer.

Now, how can we, as individuals, make a difference in the lives of our furry friends? Remembering Gandhi’s wise words about judging a civilization by how it treats its animals, here are some actions we can all take:

  • Reduce or avoid meat consumption.
  • Choose eggs from farms that respect animal conditions.
  • Reject animal fur garments.
  • Select cosmetics and makeup products that respect animal welfare.
  • Avoid shows involving cruelty to animals.
  • Contribute to the fight against the abandonment of pets.
  • Opt for adoption instead of buying animals from stores.

Every choice we make as consumers contributes to the well-being of animals and shapes a more compassionate future. Together, we can build a world where all living beings are treated with respect and consideration. Let’s make this a reality! ????✨
