SPEAK UP FOR THOSE THAT CANNOT!


SPEAK UP FOR THOSE THAT CANNOT!
The Issue
Section 6-1 which states killing of any animal other than cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, poultry, rabbits, carabao, horse, deer and crocodiles is likewise hereby declared unlawful except in the following instances: number 1, when it is done as part of the religious rituals of an established religion or sect or ritual required by ethnic custom of indigenous cultural communities. It is not right to kill animals even if it is for religious rituals. As stated by Rodriguez, (2014) in his article "10 Ways Religion And Superstition Have Led To Animal Cruelty", in some cases, religion and superstition have played pivotal roles in leading humanity to cause great harm to helpless creatures both great and small. Example: Dog’s teeth are imbued with magical properties and are typically worn as a necklace or charm by the Igorots.
CONCLUSION
These only proves how weak our bills are in terms of taking care of animals and fighting against the animal cruelty. And what we have to do is to strengthen them and think of what we can do. Our bills should be more focused on creating an animal-friendly society, for these animals, just like us humans, have lives that need and want care and affection.
So if you witness or suspect animal abuse, do not just stand there — report it! Animal cruelty is a crime, and the more often abusive individuals are punished for their behavior, the less likely others will be inclined to do the same. ANIMALS HAVE NO VOICE, SO IT IS OUR OBLIGATION AND DUTY TO SPEAK FOR THEM.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
A. Consider animal killing for religious or community rituals as a major violation of the anti-animal cruelty law.
B. Totally an all for animal testing or experiments in products. Alternatives include, sophisticated tests using human cells and tissues (also known as in vitro methods), advanced computer-modeling techniques (often referred to as in silico models), and studies with human volunteers (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals)
C. Raise the sentence to people who violates the anti-animal cruelty law. Since in the Philippines, it is charged as a misdemeanor offense, the penalty should then be raised into an indeterminate sentence of 10 years and one day of prison mayor, as minimum, to 14 years and eight months, as maximum, legally erroneous as parallel to the penalty of homicide.
D. Philippines should no longer allow companies and factories which manufacture products from wild animals. The country should hone a wildlife centered environment. This would also contribute in preserving the endangered and threatened species.
IMPLEMENTARY
Be a responsible pet owner. Know about and fulfil the needs of your pet. Don’t just concern yourself with basic needs – give your pet positive experiences that really enhance its well-being.
Be an example of kindness to other pets. Foster a pet that has suffered abandonment. Sadly, many pets are relinquished to shelters for various reasons. Foster homes help these animals to recover and prepare them to move onto a new permanent loving home.
Intervene if you witness animal cruelty, abuse or neglect. Do what you can to stop someone from mistreating an animal. However, be sensible and don’t put yourself in danger. If necessary, seek help from other witnesses.
Report animal cruelty, abuse or neglect. If you witness any form of animal cruelty, report it to the police or other authorities. Act immediately to prevent further cruelty.
Teach your children to have respect for animals. Set a good example by being respectful towards animals. Show children how to treat animals with love and consideration. Help them to grow up to become the next generation of advocates for animals.
Demand stricter laws for the protection of animals. Stronger animal welfare laws and harsher penalties will lead to fewer cruelty cases.
Shelter an animal in need. You can be the helping hand that an animal need. An animal that has been mistreated needs support, sometimes immediately. You can make a real difference by taking an animal out of a harmful situation.
Consider that neglect of animals can be closely linked to domestic violence. Animal abuse and domestic abuse are often closely connected. By reporting your suspicions, you may also be helping both the animal in need and the family concerned.
