Syrian Future Movement and Animal Rights
Religious legislation, philosophical ethics, and international laws have underscored the right of every living creature to a dignified life. They emphasize that all living species are protected and preserved against all forms of violence and poor or abusive treatment.
The Syrian Future Movement works to raise Syrian citizens’ awareness of animal rights by highlighting the suffering of these creatures at the hands of humans and the growing concerns regarding corporate treatment of animals.
The Movement seeks to enact effective Syrian legislation that prohibits violence against animals and enhances their protection from any assault.
The Syrian Future Movement aims to turn the care of pets into a commercial venture and to link media awareness to the importance of animals as human companions. Additionally, it offers courses on animal rights under international laws, religious legislations, and the philosophy of ethics.
The Movement plans to revive and develop the “animal waqf” that was in place in Syria before the current Syrian regime took power.
The Syrian Future Movement believes in the necessity of providing health care and protection for animals, ensuring they have the necessary food and medicine until their death.
The Movement aims to emulate the practices of advanced countries in animal care, establishing special reserves to protect endangered species, ensuring their reproduction and proliferation in a healthy environment.
The Syrian Future Movement is committed to implementing international conventions and treaties that focus on animals, protecting them from cruelty in treatment or exploitation, and supports initiatives like the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which regulates the trade of endangered species to prevent their extinction.
The Syrian Future Movement supports the efforts of local and international animal rights activists, opening its doors in Syria for collaboration towards a better reality concerning animal rights.
The Movement particularly looks after animals that have been harmed by bombing or destruction in any way, by providing them with special health care to enable them to benefit from their right to life and to benefit humans positively.
The Syrian Future Movement is working towards a deep cultural change in how Syrians interact with animals, with a focus also on the quality of meat foods, including both marine and riverine fish.
