There is often a big difference between the initial intention of a bill and what is finally approved. Animal Welfare Act will not be an exception. It’s already possible to know what’s what after the deadline for changes to be submitted, and given who submitted or supported them. interruptions will experience this attemptOne of the most declared by the Government in the current legislative period. Neither bulls, nor hounds, nor captive dolphins, nor hawks, nor laboratory animals will have the same rights as domestic animals under this law.
One of the most debated fronts is whether hunting dogs should have the same protection regimen as companion dogs. The ‘same dogs, same laws’ campaign by major animal organizations doesn’t seem to be working very well. First of all, the changes PSOE made to annoy Podemos partners significantly soften the initial text.
Modifications offered by PSOE, PP, Vox, PNV, Canarian Coalition and Teruel Exists guarantee: hunting dogs will be excluded from protection under the new rule. Socialists assure that this type of dog will benefit from their in-laws, although which one has yet to be determined.
They’re not the only dogs excluded because Those used to protect animals, shepherd dogs, those participating in assisted treatments, and those used by security forces are also excluded. of the guarantees that companion dogs will have.
Bulls that seem untouchablethey do not enjoy the protection provided by the regulations, as is the case with birds born in the same way.
when it comes experimental animals in the laboratoryThe last statement only implies that it should be dealt with “in non-aggressive or violent ways that may cause pain or cause anxiety or fear,” a fact that can be interpreted with a wide margin of appreciation, according to animal organizations. .
this marine mammals (dolphins, orcas and others) in captivity in aquariums and other facilities will not be banned if they engage in appropriate centers and research activities from 2026.
Pigeon-hunting birds, except
PSOE, PP and Vox also pigeon hunting birds. PSOE believes that these breeds used in business, sports or certain professional activities should be excluded from the Animal Welfare Act. But livestock breeders understand that the same law must apply to the same animal.
In recent months, the hunting industry, as well as the PSOE’s leading regional leaders, have put strong pressure on the Government to reduce the scope and purpose of this law, which was eventually reduced to a “pets law” for animal activists.
