Possible solution?

 

 24.1% of animal abuse is registered in horses and other farm animals. These data are a simple approximation to the figures of animal abuse in the world, but there are data that cannot be taken into account since they are omitted or not reported, mainly among animal husbandry farms or companies that hide information about your work processes. One possible solution is to raise awareness in society about animal sensitivity and respect for nature through projects and develop programs or talks, in the actua lity of the pandemic it is not possible to talk in person, which would lead us to use technological tools such as Zoom , Instagram, among others.

 Execute these programs in educational institutions since children are the future of the Homeland, where self-care, empathy, responsibility, care for nature, domestic animals, wild animals and farm animals are promoted from an early age with the purpose that in The future generation may have people who with the previous teachings such as self-care, would understand how to take care of their own body so that they recognize that what hurts them, also hurts animals. The empathy to interpret what pets, farm animals and wild animals want, what they like and what they do not want despite the fact that they cannot speak and, finally, teach them the responsibility of having a pet at home, since there are to give them care, company or attend to their needs, also aware of the behavior of the animals and identify when an animal is being mistreated either by the owner's carelessness or when the following symptoms are present:

At present it is novel to address animal abuse as a legal issue, in our country the legislative power has required a long period of time to understand that human behavior can mutate to the point of affecting the physical integrity of an animal, which necessarily entails to the creation of an express criminal offense, in order to protect your life from any action or omission that causes harm. As a result of that, the legislator decided to translate into the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code two violations for mistreatment or death of pets or companion animals; However, it seems that the sanctions instituted were not enough to reduce the acts of cruelty carried out by human beings unaware of this serious problem.

Another solution would be to know the animal cruelty laws in your country. And linked to the previous point, you should know what the punishment is, what the fines are or if people who mistreat animals can go to jail. This lets you know the scope of your complaint. Supports laws and organizations in favor of animals. Whether you are very attentive to the initiatives of non-profit groups, you should also take into account the existence of associations to help street animals, they are an excellent alternative of support.

To examine the issue of the protection of animal rights and the classification of animal abuse in criminal law, it is necessary to ask a question of great importance: Do animals really have rights? History has defined that, as a general rule, the ownership of rights rests with the human being; However, time has been decisive in transforming history itself, as has been shown by certain events, such as the abolition of slavery, which occurred in our country under the government of José María Urbina, or the French Revolution in contrast to the absolutist state of Louis XVI, giving rise to the rule of law; On the subject in particular, in the way described above, the owner of a right is the human being, but currently there have been transformations that have overcome this anachronistic Kantian paradigm.

Animal abuse is a critical circumstance that has increased over the years, and is currently an event of little interest and concern for society. This problem has clung to the social phenomenon as a daily event and without a solution, which has increased the practice of cruel and degrading treatment of animals. Acts of cruelty undoubtedly correspond to practices that trigger the breaking of the law and ultimately produce changes in human behavior.
