Animals are very sentimental sensitive creatures, just like human children, they feel, they suffer BUT they can NOT express, complain, defend themselves, or escape the suffering.
PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS LEADS TO LONG TERM PSYCHOLOGICAL, PHYSICAL, AND HEALTH DAMAGES ON THE ANIMAL, hence, ANIMAL ABUSE is NOT necessarily limited to physical abuse, it is any act that results in their psychological distress.
YANNI ANIMAL WELFARE is the first advocate in UAE for animal abuse, it is the center of reference consultations for hundreds of reports every year, and working on establishing a firm, well structured anti-animal abuse system throughout all government authorities in the form of an effective awareness program and a CLEAR, QUICK AND STRICT action against the abuse.
YANNI ANIMAL WELFARE confirms that ANIMAL ABUSE is neither compatible with the ISLAMIC MORALS nor consistent with the HUMANE MORALS of the UAE.
ANIMAL ABUSE is criminalized by the UAE federal law for animal welfare.
Reporting the crime of ANIMAL ABUSE is an absolute responsibility of EVERY individual.
What is the penalty for refraining from informing the authorities of a crime?
- The penalty specified Article 274 of the UAE Penal Code, Federal Law Number 7 of 2016, as it stated:
A penalty of imprisonment for a period not exceeding a year or a fine shall be inflicted on whoever becomes aware of the occurrence of a crime and refuses to inform the competent authorities.
- IF YOU SAW A CHILD BEING ABUSED WOULDNT YOU REPORT IT?
- THEN WHY WOULDNT YOU WHEN IT IS AN ANIMAL?
DO NOT FAIL THEM, BE THEIR VOICE
