Compassion Towards Animals: A Study with Special Reference to Offence of Bestiality in India


DOI:Coming soon...

Abstract:

Human beings are one of the higher animals in whom the sexual instinct is sensitive, highly developed and varied in its manifestations. With the development of civilization, the sex instinct has steadily risen to higher levels of expression. In modern so called civilized societies,physical and moral degeneracy are the common attributes. Different paraphillia have existed since ages. People have recurrent intense sexual urges and sexually arousing fantasies involving either non-humans (e.g.-animals, corpses) or particular humans (e.g.- children, aged etc.). In recent times, various incidents of sexual abuses against the animals have cropped up in India. The present paper highlights some of the incidents and the relevant legislative provisions. The paper urges the need for stronger provisions in case of such offence and sensitization in the society as well. The study is desk based research. It is limited to specific rights of the animals. “The idea of Humanity is no longer confined to man; it is beginning to extend itself to the lower animals, as in the past it has been gradually extended to savages and slaves”.1
