About this statute

This is the introductory text of Law 1774 of 2016, identifying the law and stating that Congress enacted it. Los animales se reconocen como seres sintientes y reciben protección especial contra el sufrimiento y el dolor; además, la ley tipifica algunas conductas de maltrato y crea un procedimiento sancionatorio policivo y judicial. This provision defines movable goods and says animals are recognized as sentient beings. La norma fija principios de protección animal y obliga al responsable o tenedor, y también al Estado, la sociedad y sus miembros, a proteger a los animales y evitar el maltrato. This article replaces Article 10 of Law 84 of 1989 and sets a fine of 5 to 50 monthly legal minimum wages for harmful or cruel acts against animals that do not cause death or serious injury.
