LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK RELATED TO PROTECTION OF WILD ANIMALS
2.1 INTRODUCTION
In India the history of conservation and protection of flora and fauna are as old as its civilization. In Indian mythology the animals are worshipped as incarnations of different Gods and Goddess and any act of harm to the animals is considered an ethical offence (Sin). The great Emperor Ashoka has declared that, “Twenty six years after my coronation, I declared that the following animals were not to be killed i.e. Parrots, Mynas, Aruna, Ruddy Geese, Nandimukha, Cranes, Bats, Queen Ants, Terrapins, boneless fish, rhinoceros and all quadrupeds which are not useful or edible”.

A provision is proposed to be made in the Wild Life Act for creation of two new types of reserves, i.e., Conservation Reserves and Community Reserves. Conservation Reserve would be an area owned by the State Governments adjacent to national parks and sanctuaries for protecting the landscape, seascape and habitat of fauna and flora. Further, it is also proposed to empower the State Governments to notify any community land or private land as community reserve provided that the members of that community or individuals concerned are agreeable to offer such areas for protecting the fauna and flora, as well as their traditions, cultures and practices. The declaration of these two new types of reserves, i.e. conservation reserve and community reserve are aimed at improving the socio-economic conditions of the people living in those areas as well as conservation of wild life. Conservation reserve and community reserve would be managed on the principles of sustainable utilization of forest produce. The members of the local communities would be involved in their management through management committees. The Amendment Act had proposed and intended to achieve these objects:
(i) to highlight the ecological and environmental objective in the long title of the Wild Life Act;
(ii) to add new definitions in view of the amendments proposed in the Wild Life Act;
(iii) to give statutory status to the National Board for Wild Life and restructuring of State Wild Life Advisory Boards giving wider

Wild Paragraph Three Overcoming adversity requires acceptance that things must change and the determination to do so. Once that adversity has been overcome the feeling of accomplishment is even greater than imagined. In the book Wild, by Cheryl Strayed, Strayed had been hiking for awhile and realized that she started to run out of water and started to get really dehydrated. Her guide book said that there was water nearby but she didn't know if it was close enough to make it to before she might die of dehydration. She started to reflect on her accomplishments and said, “In spite and because of its hardships and I’d gotten myself into this place on my own two feet” (Strayed 195).

Changing Our Outlook of Animals During the Period of 1800 to 1910 Short Essay Concerning the period of 1800 to 1910, many movements were formed addressing the lives and suffering of animals. Such movements granted better welfare for animals as well as a sentient outlook towards them.

As stated by Pearson in the Cow and the Plow, animal suffering was simply one of many potential definitions of cruelty’s damages, and when judges and other legal interpreters read animal protection statutes,

One topic that many scholars are debating right now is the topic of animal rights. The questions are, on what basis are rights given, and do animals possess rights? Two prominent scholars, Tom Regan and Tibor Machan, each give compelling arguments about animal rights, Regan for them and Machan against them. Machan makes the sharp statement, “Animals have no rights need no liberation” (Machan, p. 480). This statement was made in direct opposition to Regan who says, “Reason compels us to recognize the equal inherent value of these animals and, with this, their equal right to be treated with respect” (Regan, p. 477).

Their characteristics of being protective when they feel threatens become a reason that people think they are wild and meant to be shot. People are taking their habitats, shrinking their land to a smaller portion, just for building agriculture fields, industrial places and roads. It is not fair for wildlife.
