Animal protection organizations

One of the most famous international animal protection organizations is PETA. What is PETA and what does its name mean: each letter has a certain meaning.

P – People; We are all born in different latitudes and we have our own characteristics, but we accept that all human beings share basic values ​​such as respect for life.

E – Ethics – ethics; we have been taught the golden rule as young children, and all major religions teach the principles of nonviolence and kindness. More than a century ago, Charles Darwin showed that all beings have the same common ancestor. All beings share the desire for life. We all experience pain, joy, sorrow and pleasure. We all have value.

T – Treatment – attitude: All beings desire and have the right to freedom to live a natural life, according to their inherent desires and instincts.

A – animals – We all have animal origins; Human beings have unique abilities – many beings can learn languages, enjoy complex social relationships, sacrifice pleasure for the good of others, use tools, imagine and dream, remember information, play with friends, enjoy intimacy.

Some creatures have great abilities beyond ours – in navigation, endurance, communication and discovery of natural phenomena. We still don’t fully understand how all beings think – or what they think – but rejecting their mental world as less developed, rational, moral, or intelligent than ours is a mistake.

Despite our various abilities, no living thing deserves to be abused. In the same way, all beings deserve freedom and respect, not because they share the characteristics we admire in ourselves, but because they are living beings. We share the same evolution

Origin, we inhabit the same Earth and are governed by the same laws of nature. We are all the same.

Zoos: useful or harmful

There is still much debate about the role and function of zoos. Some consider them the last place where endangered species can find protection, they are given special care. Others believe that this is a painful place for animals, where they are deprived of their natural environment and freedom.

Visiting a zoo can create a certain attitude in children and people – such as to evoke sympathy or increase interest in a species and its need for burrow. On the other hand, closed and crowded zoos are a torture for the animals themselves.
