“This Anti-Animal Welfare Act of 2022, IF passed AS IS is all that Sri Lanka needs now to damn it Internationally as the first Buddhist country in the world to grant “State-Sanctioned Animal Cruelty sans legal redress to the voiceless via a supposed “Welfare” Act.
The trade profts envisaged by removing protectIon from this Act for animals used in the meat and egg industries, denying these sentient beings modern, ethical, and humane mothods in slaughter, will be eclipsed by the loss of economic gains which are accrued to the country by keeping intact its gentle image as a Leading Buddhist Country in the world, philosophically and legally providing protection to All Living Beings.
Performing ethically unsanctioned “futile” live animal research (futile as none of such research will qualify to be published internationally or even locally ) will tarnish and damn the high academic esteem with which Sri Lanka’s academia is held internationally. “
