Evaluation of water and animal concepts in terms of scarcity, rights and welfare

Abstract

Problems such as global warming and cooling, climate change, water and food have been some of the most important issues on the world agenda in recent years. For sustainable welfare, the concepts of equality, justice and rights are indispensable for the ecosystem. Today, the adoption of legal regulations on water scarcity, right to water, animal welfare and animal rights with the awareness of conscientious responsibility in the individual and society has been an important development for the future. Therefore, in this article, it is aimed to contribute to the objective questioning of the concepts of rights and welfare with their emotional, legal and scientific aspects by getting rid of people's presuppositions about life, abandoning the distinction between living and non-living things. The study consists of two parts. In the first part, water scarcity and the right to water and in the second part, evaluations are made in terms of animal welfare and rights. The literatures cited in the article are faithful to the author's views. The general acceptance of water consumption as a need rather than a right has turned it into a commodity that can be bought and sold with money. Although there is enough water in the universe, the perception of scarcity consciousness arising from the possible inadequacy of the amount of consumable water needs to be re-questioned at the intellectual level by considering it from the perspective of biological transformation-change.
