自大橘子遭台大生虐殺事件,引發廣大公眾對街貓生存權高度關注後,很不幸地,近日又連續發生4名海陸現役軍人,因長官一個驅離流浪狗的命令,將流浪狗小白活活用鐵鍊綑綁吊死事件;以及國二生將校園內黑面麻鷺的腳綁上繩子拖行、倒吊在鐵桿上的事件。暴力虐待動物的殘酷行為,再次引發公眾的怒吼與撻伐,眾多關心動物權益的民眾抗議犯罪者侵犯、虐待無辜生命致死,並透過行動為動物發聲。
在台灣、在歐美各國,「動物虐待」都以法律制定為犯罪行為,是公眾社會無法容忍的暴力對待。學者Ascione、Kaufmann & Brooks(2000)將「動物虐待」(Animal abuse)廣泛地定義為:1.社會無法接受的行為。2.蓄意地。3.不必要的行為導致動物受到痛苦或死亡。並採用兒童虐待的四個類別,包括:1.身體虐待2.心理虐待3.忽視4.性虐待。美國人道協會針對動物虐待與疏忽(Animal abuse and Neglect)持續推動「終結虐待動物捍衛運動」,鼓勵民眾採取行動,幫助受虐待的動物脫離受虐環境,如:人類故意、惡意虐待,涉及毆打、射擊或刺傷動物、被鏈犬等受苦處境。
近年,大量研究已證實動物虐待和暴力犯罪之間的連結關係。2001-2004年芝加哥警察局的研究,揭示了一個令人吃驚的現象:被控傷害動物的犯罪者,同時也對人類受害者施以暴力罪行的比例高達65%。兒童虐待動物的情況更不應該掉以輕心。世界衛生組織國際疾病分類(the International Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders)將孩童與青少年虐待動物之行為納入心理障礙症狀,虐待動物的兒童和成人都應立即接受專業心理諮商輔導。
歐美國家將孩童與青少年虐待動物行為視為人類公共健康政策,在法律及社會福利制度等面向,提供兒童、同伴動物系統性保護、防治、救援,以及身心健康治療服務工作。由此可看到國際間對動物保護、兒童保護之跨領域之間合作建立補救性、預防性工作系統網的重視。
此次虐待動物事件中四位軍人,除了接受法律制裁之外,社工心理諮商等專業資源更應介入,國中生虐待黑面麻鷺事件則由學校輔導室協助,以評估成人、兒童對動物施暴的動機及行為,累積臨床實務工作,做為檢視相關政策建構更完整的系統。(可參考「動物對待和暴力類型評估表」(Zilney/ Treatment of animals and types of violence in society)。
除了補救性工作之外,動平會認為,最重要的預防性工作為動物權、動物平權及動物保護教育的持續扎根。教育為預防成人、兒童對動物施暴長效且最重要的安全網。
在國內研究,何瑞瑩(2012)的成果顯示:學生在保護「同伴動物」、「表演動物」與「野生動物」方面抱持積極正向的態度,對「生命」體悟「生而平等」的觀念。杜美慧(2010)以國小五年級學童照護校園流浪犬探討學童對生命關懷的體現,研究發現學童照護校園流浪犬的歷程建立深厚的情感,在同理心、關懷情意與行為上得到練習機會,培養出學童解決問題的能力、包容同儕的能力。狗兒更成為班上單親、家暴等特殊家庭學童的心靈療癒師、同儕關係的潤滑劑。
美國人道協會落實教育工作最大的成效是:引發兒童對待動物的態度,更具有悲憫心與仁慈心,以負責任的方式照顧動物。有93%的學生報告關注動物福利與環境保護。本會近兩年努力推動教育工作,兒童對動物受苦的處境給予很真切的同理心與仁慈心,包括不應囚禁動物、不應讓動物受苦難、希望自己有能力把動物救出來等的高度正向回饋。
近日軍方各個單位緊急辦理愛護生命專題講座。動平會肯定軍方高層聽見公眾為枉死的小白抱不平的吶喊,本會近日亦受邀請到許多軍方單位宣講一場一小時的愛護動物講座。但我們想問的是,因此個案事件而產生機動性一小時的愛護動物宣講,真能夠達到「愛護動物、尊重生命」真正的效果嗎?我們明瞭許多軍人個人對動物友愛,喜親近動物,但除了從友愛的道德性發展之外,從法律上規範的脈絡,尊重生命為必須遵循的法律,不論個人對動物友愛或無感,即使對動物感到厭憎,也不能以任何暴力行為傷害動物,這是做為一位公民應有的義務與責任,也是本份。本會建言希望軍方能夠將「愛護動物、尊重生命」體制化,長期地讓「愛護動物、尊重生命」在軍中不只是口號,而成為一種信念,從不同的軍旅層級透過多元教育,真正落實動物權。
同樣地,動平會致力於努力推動「動物平權」教育,到全台各學校舉辦巡迴講座。動平會期盼從六都教育局、動保處成為帶領的模範城市,重視動保教育對兒童對待動物態度的深遠影響力,並能夠延伸到各地方政府。並能從今年開始,實際落實撥補足夠的經費,以支持當地動保團體到學校推動動保教育。期盼在這5-10年能夠將動物權、動物福祉、動物平權教育涵納入教育體制,真正實現在各級學校師生的教育學習中。唯有持續推動教育工作改變人類對待動物的態度,影響公眾捍衛動物權與福祉,成為動物的守護者,才有終結暴力虐待動物的一天!

types of animal abuse 在 Richie Kul Facebook 的精選貼文
Lily and I have partnered up with the kind and courageous folks at In Defense of Animals to help spotlight and eradicate animal cruelty, particularly the pernicious dog meat and fur trade. Proud to stand aside them, Soi Dog Foundation, Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth and Animals Asia in this vital fight worth waging
Honoring Cesar Chavez Around the World
One of the most perfidious myths in South Korea is that there exists two types of dogs—"meat dogs" and animal companions. It is one of the few countries in the world to make this baffling distinction. Of course dogs are dogs, and the reality is that any dog may end up in the dog meat trade, because there are no dogs bred specifically for the purpose of human consumption. Tragically, any dog—former companions abandoned or abducted, dogs from puppy mills, shelters, closed auctions, purebreds—can be processed for food. So how do we reconcile when a dog is considered a companion at home but the same dog out on the street is considered meat? The truth is to recognize this industry of horror, which traffics in lies, profit, unimaginable cruelty, and a looming public health catastrophe for both humans and dogs.
With a messianic ardor, Richie Kul (http://www.facebook.com/RichieKul), model, actor, and animal advocate, and Lily, Richie's co-star, former stray, and now treasured pride and joy, campaign all over the world on behalf of animals in need—innocent souls destined for the food and fur trade in Southeast Asia, factory farms and slaughterhouses everywhere, shelters crammed with the scared and discarded—reaching across the vast system of animal use and abuse. Appearing in acclaimed indy hits and fronting high-profile worldwide fashion and commercial campaigns, Richie transcends cultures and traditions and borders, because with a fierce moral courage and daring, he acts upon the simple yet powerful credo that suffering is suffering. He passionately supports and advocates for cruelty-free fashion labels and animal-protection organizations and dreams of freedom for all animals.
In Defense of Animals is proud to join Richie and Lily in the fight against the dog and cat meat trade in South Korea.
