How To Promote Animal Rights In Australia

The Animal Protection Movement also underwent the Bureaucratic stage, which is the third stage of development of social movements in sociology. The bureaucratization stage of social movements is the formalization stage that is characterized by high level of organization as swell as coalitions. As such, this makes the social movement a powerful political force. As explained in the book, Thinking Sociology, this is the stage that is symbolized by a myriad of social movements dedicated to animal rights show that this particular concern will not go away (Carl, et al., 2011). In this stage of the Animal Protection Movement, there was significant media visibility, especially in the 1980s. In addition to that vigorous competition among the organizations in this juncture symbolize high level of efficiency in the movement. Strategic thinking by animal advocates was also adopted as an approach to enable justice-based movements that influenced drastic victories for the movement in that decade. Nevertheless, this stage of the Animal Welfare Movements was marked by extensive changes in organizations and the growth of active supporter base for the movement.

Over time, there have been several exposés by animal rights activists published revealing the maltreatment of Australian exported cattle, goats and sheep. This is the harsh reality that Australian animals face practically daily.

Recall the line, “Help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neutered.” Famous game show host Bob Barker recited this tagline to conclude every episode of the longest running game show aired, The Price is Right. Although notorious for hosting The Price is Right for thirty-five years, Bob Barker is also a well-known animal rights activist. Barker didn’t become famous without enduring a few speed bumps in his life. However through his dedication, determination, and doggedness, Barker has built a reputation and has made himself an established figure in today’s society.

In this paper I will argue that animals do deserve extensive rights, maybe not necessarily rights to the extent that some activists fight for, but definitely an improvement needs to be made on the existing law and there needs to be stronger enforcement of it. Right now, animals are not treated humanely in the majority of factories or really at

Despite being ‘cruel’ in order to meet the requirements of ‘Australians for Animal Rights’, humans have considered the report ‘alternative’ and ‘important’, compounding the agency’s apparent guilt. This attack on humans invites both readers and carnivores by choice to support the tough action done by the Australians for Animal Rights in defence of the animal society. The tone of the article becomes less forceful when explaining the Australians for Animal Rights’s response. Talk of ‘compassionate people’ and ‘breaking the law’ gives way to a more conciliatory tone, reporting an agreement between humans and the Australians for Animal Rights in order to ‘justify’ to ‘damage’, risks and ‘poor creatures’ involved. Jo’s use of language is most likely intended to encouraging the readers to accept their ‘self-serving purposes’ and to perceive of ‘animal rights’ as a

Finally, Australia is known globally for its passion and fondness of domesticated animals including its interest and preservation of the wildlife. This passion even goes true towards animal cruelty on exported livestock with the manner these animals are slaughtered

This legislation protects the welfare of animals which are sold as pets. The Act requires anyone keeping a pet shop to be licenced by the local authority.

My cultural immersion is season three, episode three of 30 Days, Animal Rights. I am employed in agriculture and have been for the last 12 years. Those who are involved with farming operations believe in animal rights, but those rights are different than what was portrayed in this video.I have taken stand against anti-farming measures and harshly against The Humane Society of the United States and PETA. Finding faults and misstated facts with the propaganda with these to organization. My new stance would be uncomfortable, as I do not view them as the good guys. The stance I am going to be will force me outside of the dominant culture that I live in.

Presently, all animal welfare is addressed at the state and federal levels in Australia. To provide some form of direction for the development of animal welfare policies, and establish nationally accepted animal welfare legislation, The Commonwealth negotiated the Australian Animal Welfare Strategy (AAWS). It was stated by the AAWS that their main philosophy about animal welfare under human control is that ‘animals under human care of influence are healthy, properly fed and comfortable and that efforts are made to improve their well being and living conditions”. In addition… “if animals are to be destroyed, it is done humanely”. Each Australian state and territory has enacted animal welfare legislation aimed at preventing cruelty. Queensland’s legislation comes under the ‘Animal Care and Protection Act 2001’. The legislation is concerned with the regulation of human behaviour and treatments of animals, and the notion that humans should not be deliberately cause animals pain and suffering. The overall aim of the legislation is the prevent cruelty by prohibiting ‘unreasonable, unjustifiable or unnecessary suffering”. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) publishes Model Codes of Practice for the Welfare of Animals. Most states and territories adopt some of the Model Codes directly under their animal welfare legislation, or prepare their own codes based on the Model Codes. The Model Codes aims to allow for advances in animal welfare standards and to educate animal industries about their

The Animal Welfare Act was originally created on August 24, 1966 by president Lyndon B. Johnson, but has been edited and revised 7 times since the original act was passed. This act consists of regulations on the amount of testing, transport, research and exhibition that can be used on the animals. The dealers of these animals must also have a license to do so. The Animal Welfare Act states that they will be treated in “Transportation, sale, purchase, housing, care, and the people handling them for research.”

The Protection of Animals Act 1911 and the Animal Welfare Act 2006 are laws that all animal establishments must abide by in order to successfully and humanly accommodate and care for their animals. However, with regards to zoos and wildlife parks, there are numerous pieces of legislation that are specific to the organisations for the welfare of their captive

Animal rights activists have played a major role in changing how animals are viewed and treating in many countries,

authorities in one year. That is 500 cases of animal abuse! Think of all those that haven 't been

they thought that because animals were getting abused or worse. And at some point other people thought that other people should be treated differently, so they made them into slaves and they starved them and those people knew how animals felt because they were treated like that too. Soon people protested that they should stop making them into slaves and they protested about animal rights too so they can treat them differently and they finally stopped and some people treated animals differently. I wanted to learn more about animal rights because I wanted to know if people protested and if anybody cared. And when I researched animal rights, it said that when people protested some people thought of animals differently and it said that still a lot of people don’t care, but at least some people care. Do you know what people do to elephants, monkeys, and other animals if they do a trick wrong? Well,people hit them or starve them if they do the trick wrong, I think they should just make the animals practice more, because what they’re doing is wrong. Do you know why it’s bad that people throw their trash on the streets? It’s bad to throw trash on the streets because animals can eat it and maybe even plastic,if they’re very hungry, and soon they end up dying so please don’t throw your trash on the streets.I think that animal rights can be solved because it is already working, like people stopped other people

Hook - Every day in New Zealand animals are beaten, neglected, or forced to struggle for survival. For some neglected animals, they have little hope for survival and are forced to live out their days without the compassion they deserve. Some lucky animals are found and rescued, given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be; others aren 't so lucky. To grow as a nation, we must fight for these abused animals ' rights and severely punish heartless neglectful owners. We need to be their voices!. Animals are living beings, not to be treated like objects. The ill treatment of animals is sometimes not thought of as a crime and these cases are regularly ignored. What would you do if you saw an animal being hurt, would you walk away or stand up and fight against animal abuse! We are the next generation and we need to be fighting for their lives, for who else will if we don’t.
