About this statute
This section says the law applies to all animals, and that special rules must also be followed for hunting, fishing, animal medical treatment, breeding, artificial reproduction, vertebrate animal experiments, transport of animals, genetic engineering, and nature conservation. Several authorities may inspect animals and animal-related premises when there is reason to suspect a breach of the law, and some inspections are allowed even without suspicion in listed places. Livsmedelssäkerhetsverket och länsstyrelsen får beordra tjänsteveterinärer att göra utredningar och undersökningar för tillsyn eller för att uppfylla vissa internationella/EU-krav. Utländska inspektörer har också samma tillträdesrätt när sådana krav gäller. Inspections, investigations and examinations under this law should, if possible, be carried out so they do not cause unnecessary inconvenience to animals, the owner or holder of the husbandry unit, or its operations. Certain intentional or negligent breaches of animal welfare rules are punishable by a fine.
