Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 >Below you can find the interpretation of 'animal' by a senior Judge >of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India where he compares a >'Terrorist' with an 'Animal'. Of considerably more concern to me than the above, in which the judge at least says what he means, in asserting that terrorists should have no more rights than animals, is this: > " We should not talk about human rights violation of terrorists First, reckless violation of the rights of others is the essence of terrorism. Second, the role of a judge is to uphold the rights of all persons involved in matters of justice, including defendants. Third, not all persons accused of terrorism, or any offense, are actually guilty as charged, & it is the most basic role of a judge to facilitate the discovery & determination of guilt or innocence. The judge should resign, having demonstrated himself to be unfit to adjudicate parking tickets, let alone matters involving either human rights or animal rights. -- Merritt Clifton Editor, ANIMAL PEOPLE P.O.
