Email this article Tasks of the Municipality in the Field of Humane Protection of Animals
Abstract
The article is of a scientific and research nature, and the author’s conclusions and thoughts are based on the interpretation of legal provisions and the achievements of the legal doctrine. The tasks of the municipality aimed at providing care and humane protection of animals were examined. The material foundations of the study are legal institutions provided by the Animal Protection Act. Three such institutions were distinguished: the homeless animal care program, the decision to temporarily collect the animal away, and the decision to keep dogs of breeds considered aggressive. The text analyzes the legal nature of the commune’s tasks in this sphere and the legal implementation forms of these tasks, and highlights some ambiguous legal issues.
