Déclaration des droits de l'animal. La Déclaration Universelle des Droits de l'Animal a été proclamée solennellement à Paris le 15 octobre 1978, à la Maison de l'Unesco à Paris.
Son texte révisé par la Ligue Internationale des Droits de l'Animal en 1989, a été rendu public en 1990. Dans la multitude des types de perception, d’action et de réaction des animaux vis à vis de leur environnement, la neurophysiologie et l’éthologie nous permettent d’entrevoir des bases communes à tous les types de comportements qui régissent les rapports entre les différentes espèces animales, que ces comportements soient innés, mémorisés, ou issus d’apprentissage. Texas Weighs the Value of Sentiment in Pet Death Damages. Texas may soon see an upgrade in the legally established value of the lives of the state’s pets.
While companion animals are still considered property, a 2nd court ruling accepted the argument that we place a great sentimental value on the lives of our pets, who, through our relationships with them, are worth more than their replacement value. The case will go before the state Supreme Court; it involves a family’s dog, but the outcome of the case is of equal importance to cat owners. FORT WORTH (CN) – The Texas Supreme Court has agreed to hear a closely watched case over whether dog owners can sue for sentimental value rather than market value of their dead pet. The court agreed to hear the case after defendant Carla Strickland, a former Fort Worth animal shelter employee, appealed a November ruling by the state’s 2nd Court of Appeals that allowed plaintiffs Kathryn and Jeremy Medlen to pursue negligence claims against her.
