Animal Labor Prevention

^{“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” - Anatole France}

Since ancient times, humans have been using animals for various purposes. People have utilized animals for their livelihood and in different aspects of life, and they still do. The use of animals plays a crucial role for poor countries. Although it is better not to use animals for labor in various tasks, people in areas without technology still rely on animals to sustain their lives.

Have you noticed animal labor in your country? How do they engage in labor?

My country is Bangladesh. Bangladesh is an agricultural country. In our country, animal labor is still seen in many rural areas. Cows, buffaloes, horses, and in some cases, elephants are used for work.

When I visit the village, I see animals being used in many tasks. I have described some animal labor below.

• Cows and buffaloes are used for plowing fields. We had two cows at home that were used for plowing before modern machinery arrived, although we no longer have them.

• Horse carts and bullock carts are used to transport passengers and goods. Sometimes elephants are used to carry large items.

• In hilly areas where modern vehicles cannot travel, animals are most commonly used for transportation.

• In various fairs and especially in circuses, animals are specially displayed.

What do you do to prevent animal labor?

Effective measures can be taken to prevent animal labor, and a few are mentioned below.

• The first step I would suggest to stop animal labor is training and education. When people receive training, they will learn about modern agricultural and transportation methods. As a result, they will reduce their reliance on animals and move towards modern machinery. This will significantly reduce animal labor.

• Awareness about animal labor should be increased among the public. When everyone becomes reasonably aware, they will reduce animal labor.

• To reduce animal labor, the use of modern agricultural machinery and technology should be widely promoted. Currently, in our country, tractors, power tillers, and various types of harvesters are used for agricultural work. Because of these, farmers today are very minimally dependent on animals.

• Animal treatment and welfare centers should be established in various parts of the village where animals' health protection and proper care will be ensured. From here, farmers will be educated about the proper use of animals.

• Alternative modern transportation can be arranged for those who operate vehicles using animals.

• Alternative livelihoods can be arranged for poor farmers who are highly dependent on animals for their livelihood.

• Finally, effective laws can be implemented by the government to ensure the protection and welfare of animals, and these need to be enforced. If the government enacts strict laws, I believe that animal labor in the country will decrease by 50%.

Tell us if there are alternatives to animal labour.

If someone says there is no alternative to using animals, their statement would be entirely laughable. In this modern era, there are many alternatives to animal labor. By adopting various measures instead of using animal labor, we can lead a better life. This will reduce the labor of animals and improve our lives.

Here are a few alternatives:

• Use of modern machinery in agriculture.

•Using electric and gas-powered vehicles will eliminate the need for bullock carts or horse-drawn carts.

• Our current era is one of automation and robotics. As time goes by, we are becoming more dependent on automation. Therefore, in the agricultural sector, robotic machinery can be used for cultivation, harvesting, and other tasks.

• If the government provides subsidies and incentives for purchasing agricultural machinery, farmers will be very eager to buy modern equipment. As a result, the animal labor in our agricultural work will decrease.

Animals are an integral part of human life. Since ancient times, humans have been highly dependent on animals, and they have greatly contributed to the development of modern human civilization. The current era is a modern one, and it is very important to stop animal labor to make it humane.
