Animals and the Law
動物與法律
持續進修課程
（課程資料目前僅提供英文版本）
Animals after centuries of absolute or near absolute contempt, reinforced with Descartes inexcusable approach, finally are no longer being viewed, a bit all over the world, as mere objects such as table or a chair. Objects that can be disposed of in any way, can be maltreated in any event, can be tortured and killed at a whim. That era is over or nearly over. A brief video will be shown in class.
More and more one is witnessing an awareness and an evolution in legislation protecting animals, albeit with different approaches and techniques. In philosophy and other sciences such as neuro ones, animals are also becoming centre stage. Great legislative reforms on this topic are impacting and making their way into Constitutions, Civil Codes, Criminal codes, and so on. Macau approved a law protecting animals. With its shortcomings the fact is that Macau joined the modern legal systems that envisaged to protect animals and, in doing so, helping protecting human dignity of people itself.
