APPLAUDING the work of the WA in protecting Human Rights;
REALIZING the importance of animals as food, clothing and medical resources;
UNDERSTANDING that populations of animals sometimes require human intervention to prevent population growth that is detrimental to the animal, environment and other animals.
URGING the WA to consider the rights of non-human life when human interactions constitute a direct effect;
DEFINES an animal as a multicellular organism of the kingdom Animalia which poses the scientifically demonstrated ability to feel and experience pain with the exclusion of humans, whose rights have been defined elsewhere.
LIMITS THE DEFINITION of interaction between humans and animals in this resolution to include only all forms of domesticity as well as the hunting of animals for sport and/or sustenance.
DEFINES unnecessary as able to be avoided; While some industry, such as the meat industry, or fur industry, require that an animal be killed in order to create a product, which will necessitate brief pain to an animal, it is considered unavoidable. Similarly, in the case of animal testing, testing products on animals that are reasonably expected to have painful results are avoidable, as are only providing cramped confinement for lab animals. The treatment of the animal up until the moment of it serving its purpose is the primary focus of this resolution.
DEFINES pain and suffering as the unpleasant sensory experience associated with actual tissue damage and lasting unpleasant sensory experience as a result of prior tissue damage.
PROHIBITS the infliction of unnecessary pain and suffering on any animal by any person.
ENCOURAGES that animals kept outside of an individual’s living space be provided with an environment that as closely resembles its natural habitat as is possible; one example would be “free range.”
REQUIRES that individuals or a group who poses legal rights under their nation’s law to an animal provide reasonable protection from other animals or humans.
FORBIDS any individual or group to use animals for the express purpose of inflicting pain and suffering on them as a form of entertainment.
