Extracts of some Para’s of Supreme Court order dated 7.5.2014 in SLP (C) No.11686 of 2007:
51. When we look at the rights of animals from the national and international perspective,
what emerges is that every species has an inherent right to live and shall be protected by
law, subject to the exception provided out of necessity. Animal has also honour and
dignity which cannot be arbitrarily deprived of and its rights and privacy have to be
respected and protected from unlawful attacks.
52. Universal Declaration of Animal Welfare (UDAW) is a campaign led by World Society
for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) in an attempt to secure international recognition
for the principles of animal welfare. UDAW has had considerable support from various
countries, including India. WSPA believes that the world should look to the success of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) to set out what UDAW can achieve for
animals. Five freedoms referred to in UDAW, which we will deal with in latter part of the
judgment, find support in PCA Act and the rules framed thereunder to a great extent.
53. World Health Organization of Animal Health (OIE), of which India is a member, acts
as the international reference organisation for animal health and animal welfare. OIE has
been recognised as a reference organisation by the World Trade Organisation (WTO)
and, in the year 2013, it has a total of 178 member countries. On animal welfare, OIE says
that an animal is in good state of welfare if (as indicated by Scientific evidence) it is
healthy, comfortable, well nourished, safe, able to express innate behaviour and if it is not
suffering from unpleasant states such as pain, fear and distress.
FREEDOM:
54. Chapter 7.1.2 of the guidelines of OIE, recognizes five internationally recognized
freedoms for animals, such as:
(i) freedom from hunger, thirst and malnutrition;
(ii) freedom from fear and distress;
(iii) freedom from physical and thermal discomfort;
(iv) freedom from pain, injury and disease; and
(v) freedom to express normal patterns of behaviour.
Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) in its “Legislative and Regulatory Options
for Animal Welfare” indicated that these five freedoms found their place in Farm Welfare
Council 2009 U.K. and is also called Brambell’s Five Freedoms. These five freedoms, as
already indicated, are considered to be the fundamental principles of animal welfare and
we can say that these freedoms find a place in Sections 3 and 11 of PCA Act and they are
for animals like the rights guaranteed to the citizens of this country under Part III of the
Constitution of India.
55. Animals are world-wide legally recognised as ‘property’ that can be possessed by
humans. On deletion of Article 19(1)(f) from the Indian Constitution, right to property is
more a fundamental right in India, this gives the Parliament more a leeway to pass laws
protecting the rights of animals. Right to hold on to a property which includes animals
also, is now only a legal right not a fundamental right. We have also to see the rights of
animals in that perspective as well.
56. Rights guaranteed to the animals under Sections 3, 11, etc. are only statutory rights.
The same have to be elevated to the status of fundamental rights, as has been done by few
countries around the world, so as to secure their honour and dignity. Rights and freedoms
guaranteed to the animals under Sections 3 and 11 have to be read along with Article
51A(g)(h) of the Constitution, which is the magna carta of animal rights.
COMPASSION:
57. Article 51A (g) states that it shall be the duty of citizens to have compassion for living
creatures. In State of Gujarat v. Mirzapur Moti Kureshi Kassab Jamat and Others (2005)
8 SCC 534, this Court held that by enacting Article 51A (g) and giving it the status of a
fundamental duty, one of the objects sought to be achieved by Parliament is to ensure
that the spirit and message of Articles 48 and 48-A are honoured as a fundamental duty
of every citizen. Article 51A(g), therefore, enjoins that it was a fundamental duty of every
citizen “to have compassion for living creatures”, which means concern for suffering,
sympathy, kindliness etc., which has to be read along with Sections 3, 11(1)(a) & (m), 22
etc. of PCA Act.
HUMANISM:
58. Article 51A (h) says that it shall be the duty of every citizen to develop the scientific
temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform. Particular emphasis has been
made to the expression “humanism” which has a number of meanings, but increasingly
designates as an inclusive sensibility for our species. Humanism also means, understand
benevolence, compassion, mercy etc. Citizens should, therefore, develop a spirit of
compassion and humanism which is reflected in the Preamble of PCA Act as well as in
Sections 3 and 11 of the Act. To look after the welfare and well-being of the animals and
the duty to prevent the infliction of pain or suffering on animals highlights the principles
of humanism in Article 51A (h). Both Articles 51A (g) and (h) have to be read into the
PCA Act, especially into Section 3 and Section 11 of the PCA Act and be applied and
enforced.
RIGHT TO LIFE:
62. Every species has a right to life and security, subject to the law of the land, which
includes depriving its life, out of human necessity. Article 21 of the Constitution, while
safeguarding the rights of humans, protects life and the word “life” has been given an
expanded definition and any disturbance from the basic environment which includes all
forms of life, including animal life, which are necessary for human life, fall within the
meaning of Article 21 of the Constitution. So far as animals are concerned, in our view,
“life” means something more than mere survival or existence or instrumental value for
human-beings, but to lead a life with some intrinsic worth, honour and dignity. Animals’
well-being and welfare have been statutorily recognised under Sections 3 and 11 of the
Act and the rights framed under the Act. Right to live in a healthy and clean atmosphere
and right to get protection from human beings against inflicting unnecessary pain or
suffering is a right guaranteed to the animals under Sections 3 and 11 of the PCA Act
read with Article 51A(g) of the Constitution. Right to get food, shelter is also a guaranteed
right under Sections 3 and 11 of the PCA Act and the Rules framed thereunder, especially
when they are domesticated. Right to dignity and fair treatment is, therefore, not confined
to human beings alone, but to animals as well. Right, not to be beaten, kicked, over ridder,
over-loading is also a right recognized by Section 11 read with Section 3 of the PCA Act.
Animals have also a right against the human beings not to be tortured and against
infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering. Penalty for violation of those rights are
insignificant, since laws are made by humans. Punishment prescribed in Section 11(1) is
not commensurate with the gravity of the offence, hence being violated with impunity
defeating the very object and purpose of the Act, hence the necessity of taking disciplinary
action against those officers who fail to discharge their duties to safeguard the statutory
rights of animals under the PCA Act.
