France: The Law Should Treat Animals as "Sentient Beings," Not "Personal Property"
Lawmakers in a French National Assembly committee voted earlier this week to officially elevate the legal status of animals from mere “personal property” to that of “sentient living being”.

The law still must pass the full Assembly and Senate, but animal rights organizers are optimistic that it will move forward given the antiquated language in place now. Under current civil law, animals receive the same treatment as objects, report TheLocal.fr.

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today.

One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
