Abstract

Owing to increased consumption of milk, meat and eggs nationally and internationally - legal breaches at animal markets have come to the fore in recent years. In India, the system of governments with varied agendas have enacted legislations revolving around farm animals - The recent animal legislations are based on theological philosophies rather than factual evidences. Even when most people seem to agree that causing suffering, misery, and death to animals is unnecessary, yet they contribute significantly to it. From the viewpoint of animals as living creatures with inherent rights, we have tried to highlight the dimension of spirituality and moral agency for getting a better overview of their avoidable abuses. There is inextricable bond that exists between people and living species, as well as its impact on human life and the planet. In this article we shall also look at the legal violations, the law and the way forward.
