The Study of Animal Rights and Related Laws in Pakistan

Abstract

    The Islamic Republic of Pakistan like several other States of the world is a home to marvellous wildlife. There is a considerable variety of flora and fauna glorifying the landscape as well as forests of the country. This natural wealth of Pakistan is not being treated as it deserves for its continuous growth and preservation. Precious species of animals and birds are facing the risk of extinction or are in danger. The current study mainly explores the Pakistani legislation relating to animal rights. It also introduces certain species that if not rescued, are reported to be lost forever. The research has also tried to identify the reasons for the extinction/reduction of certain species of animals and birds. The role of law enforcement institutions including the superior courts has been made part of the study. The doctrinal method has been employed to conduct the present research.
