Statute overview

About this statute

The Regional State Administrative Agency may, if needed, appoint a veterinarian to attend an animal competition and monitor compliance with animal welfare rules, at the organizer’s expense. Det är förbjudet att överlåta djur som pris vid lotterier och tävlingar. A municipal veterinarian may grant a permit, for special reasons, for certain activities that may cause animals slight pain or distress. If the activity takes place in several municipalities, the permit must be applied for at the regional administrative office where the activity mainly takes place. The permit may include animal-welfare conditions and may be revoked if those conditions are not followed. Zoos, permanent animal exhibitions, circuses, and traveling animal exhibitions need the relevant regional state administrative agency’s permit, and zoos must also meet conservation and public-information duties. Farm operators must file a written notice with the local regional state administrative agency in time before starting, ending, or materially changing certain farm breeding operations.
