It is essential that we extend the same rights and respect to animals in public spaces as we do to humans. Animals, whether domesticated or wild, are often subjected to unfair treatment in places where they have little control over their surroundings be it through neglect, abuse, or exploitation. Public areas should not only be places of human interaction, but also spaces that uphold the dignity and welfare of animals. By advocating for animals' right to fair treatment in these environments, we are promoting a culture of empathy, responsibility, and respect for all living beings. This social change is crucial for fostering a more humane and just society, where animals are recognized not as objects, but as sentient beings deserving of protection and consideration in every public domain.
