Guest guest Posted June 18, 2000 Report Share Posted June 18, 2000 Animals entitled to humane treatment: HC The Times of India News Service http://www.timesofindia.com/080600/08indi20.htm Thursday 8 June 2000 KOCHI: In a significant judgment that could have an impact on show business and animal welfare, the Kerala High Court on Wednesday ruled that animals have inherent rights of dignified existence akin to the fundamental rights of citizens. Justice K Narayana Kurup and Justice K V Sankaranarayanan, observed, " Though not a homo sapien, they are also being entitled to humane treatment. In many respects they behave better than man, they kill to eat and eat to live. They do not practise deception, fraud or falsehood as humans do, and all except the very lowest, exhibit some degree of intelligence ranging from learned responses to complex reasoning. What is more, they do not proliferate and deplete the planet resources.
