EDUCATION

Definition:-Any process, either formal or

informal, that shapes the potential of a maturing organism (Dictionary.com)

Types of Education Formal education

Formal learning is the learning that occurs in an organised and structured environment & is explicitly designated as learning (in terms of objectives, time or resources). Formal learning is intentional from the learner’s point of view. It typically leads to validation and certification.

Non-formal education

Non-formal learning is a learning which is embedded in planned activities not always explicitly designated as learning but contains an important learning element. Non-formal learning is intentional from the learner’s point of view.

Informal education

Informal learning means a learning resulting from daily activities related to work, family or leisure. It is not organised or structured in terms of objectives, time or learning support. Informal learning is mostly unintentional from the learner’s perspective.

Law Definition and Types

Law is the principles and regulations establish in a community by some authority and applicable to its people, whether in the form of legislation or of custom and policies recognized and enforced by judicial decision.

Law - Written Law (Animal Act 1953, Animal Welfare Bill 2012 in Malaysia)

- Unwritten Law

Written LawWritten laws are laws which have been enacted in the constitution or in legislation.

Any person who:

Overworks, tortures, torments, deprives of necessary food, drink, or shelter, cruelly beats, mutilates, or cruelly kills an animal is guilty of a misdemeanor or felony.

For example: People forced animals to fight to the death and some cultures violent practices, such as Spain’s Bullfighting, became traditions that still take place today.

Unwritten LawUnwritten laws are laws which are not contained in any statutes and can be found in case decisions. This is known as the common law or case law.

For example: A neighbour keeps his dog on a cable day and night in the backyard.

As long as the dog has food, water, and shelter, this does not fall within the legal definition of cruelty.

“Law Teasers”

• The horse in the neighboring field stands in the wind and rain all day. – As long as the horse has food, water, and a

place to stand up, and can turn around and lie down in an area not covered in water, this does not fall within the legal definition of cruelty.

• A neighbor is shooting cats with a pellet gun.– This is at least a misdemeanor and may be

charged as a felony.

If a situation is unhealthy for an animal, but does not fall within the legal definition of animal abuse, approach the owner and suggest different approaches to how they treat their pet.

Report details so that Animal Control can investigate. Ask other witnesses to also report. Do not wait until an animal's life is in danger. If you suspect abuse, document it and report it to law

enforcement(JPHN – Jabatan Perkhidmatan Haiwan Negeri).
