FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF ANIMAL RIGHTS

Summary/Abstract: The focal point of the author's attention in this paper are the so-called natural animal rights, being the cornerstone of the fundamental principles envisaged in the Universal Declaration of Animal Rights. In particular, the author highlights the impact that the Declaration has had on changing man's attitude to animals, reflected in both national and international legislation. Providing a critical review of the existing state of affairs in internal legislation, the author is of the opinion that, due to their anthropocentric character, numerous legal solutions pertaining to animal protection are incompatible with the spirit of the Universal Declaration of Animal Rights. The author thinks it is necessary to adopt an Act on Animal Protection, as a condition for the accession of our countiy to the European Union.
