        Animals that live near humans and in urban areas are often killed by disease and car accidents and are harassed and abused. These animals have a very low level of well-being. Human concerns about the transmission of diseases, especially rabies and bites, and the high reproductive capacity of these animals have led humans to take control of urban animals. This study seeks to answer the question of what Iran has done to control the population of urban animals while protecting their rights and whether it has been successful in this regard.

        The purpose of the present study is to investigate jurisprudential principles of animal rights. The method of study is descriptive-analytic. General principles including the ones in the Qur'an and sonnat (the tradition) are discussed in this research. Both of the above revelation resources have mentioned common features for animals in terms of life principles, perception issues, and evolution after this world that is sufficient to prove the right of animals as living creatures. Rational arguments indicate that every measure violating animal rights is evidence of cruelty while every measure that sustains their dignity, life, interests, resources, environment, and survival of their different species is considered as an act of goodness. The Sunni and Shi'ite scholars have consensus that animals also have rights so humans are obliged to observe them. Jurisprudential principles state that killing an animal requires the responsibility to make up for the loss. Besides, any damage to animals is prohibited and every attempt to fulfill their rights is regarded as an act of benevolence and goodness. Finally, the above principles generally approve animal rights, in addition to human rights, and convey the necessity to observe and fulfill that. Manuscript profile

        The issue of animal rights has been considered completely in the last century. Activists and animal rights movements believe that the religions –in general- have had little or no concern with animal rights issues, and that there are many protests to the religions. The purpose of this study is to recognize the views of Islam towards this issue. This goal was carried out by examining the narrations of the Ahlul-Bayt (PBUH) and the words of the Shi'a great scholars, during which the rights of the animals were examined from the perspective of Fiqh Imamiyah on the basis of the right of alienation and presented a complete and comprehensive picture of the special interest of Islam towards it. According to this study, firstly, the religion of Islam,for all the beings of the world-according to their place in the creation-in order to attain their perfection believe in rights, and contrary to the beliefs of animal rights advocates, there are many doctrines and teachings regarding animal rights. In particular, in comparison with other religions, many of those rights have been expressed not only in the form of moral advice, but also in the form of a religious order and jurisprudence, which imply their importance and the guarantee of their performance. Secondly, Shi'a jurisprudents, in addition to acknowledging the necessity of observing the right to live animals in various ways, have also acknowledged in a variety of ways, also carefully considering their alimony, its cases, its responsibility, and how to provide and prepare it, using the great teachings of Islam, they delivered Fatwa.

        4 - Jurisprudential Subjectology of Common Animal Traps with an Emphasis on Animal Rights

        Despite the prevalent use of animal traps today, particularly adhesive and spring models, the jurisprudential aspects of these traps remain largely unexplored within environmental jurisprudence studies, receiving only partial attention amidst broader discussions. This research employs a descriptive-analytical approach to investigate the thematic dimensions of terrestrial animal traps. Initially, notable legal rulings pertaining to trap usage are highlighted as crucial variables in jurisprudential discourse. Subsequently, the most common types of animal traps are scrutinized from a jurisprudential standpoint. The investigation reveals that while there is no outright prohibition on the use of traps, it is imperative to prioritize less harmful trapping methods when possible, with due consideration given to alternative solutions. In cases involving live traps, swift decisions must be made regarding the release or humane euthanasia of captured animals. This article adopts a comparative research framework, focusing on the examination of jurisprudence surrounding prevalent animal traps. As such, a comprehensive analysis of the legal and principled foundations underlying each effective trap type is beyond the scope of this study. Manuscript profile
