Nepal Urgently Needs Animal Welfare Act
Animals have always held a significant place in human society. That is even truer in the case of Nepal where we worship different animals and birds. However, the revered role of animals in our lives is contrasted with the unimaginable cruelty and torture they often endure at the hands of human beings. While many developed countries have established strong measures and animal welfare acts to protect the rights of animals, it is unfortunate that Nepal has yet to implement similar provisions, leaving innocent animals vulnerable to mistreatment by people who consider themselves superior to them.
