The animal rights

According to the topic of our project Applied Ethics and Moral Values in Europe, we organized a debate on the animal rights. To the discussion we invited our students, teachers and an expert Martin Jereczek the member of the Forest District.

Concern for animal welfare is often based on the belief that non-human animals are sentient and that consideration should be given to their well-being, especially when they are used by humans. These concerns can include how animals are killed for food, how they are used for scientific research, how they are kept (as pets, in zoos, farms, circuses, etc.), and how human activities affect the welfare and survival of wild species.

They have the right to live in a natural life, being fit and healthy, and being happy. And what goes with it, they must have:

freedom from thirst and hunger – by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour
freedom from discomfort – by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area
freedom from pain, injury, and disease – by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment
freedom to express most normal behavior – by providing sufficient space, proper facilities, and company of the animal's own kind
freedom from fear and distress – by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering

Together we decided that we would help the animals during the winter, we take care of the animals in the shelter for abandoned animals.

We are collecting food for animals.

We've also written poems about animal rights.
