Administrative Law Regulation of Due Treatment of Animals

The impact of the right to social relations is expressed not only in their actual regulation and protection, but also in building a system of moral values. Russian legislation regulating public relations in the field of proper treatment of animals needs to be improved. Gaps in legal regulation do not allow effectively countering environmental offenses not only from the standpoint of criminal and administrative legal protection, but also the development of moral values of humane interaction with other residents of the world. Modern legislation in this area is multi-level, which, however, does not give it a sign of consistency. It seems that at the federal level it is necessary to determine the conditions for keeping wild and domestic animals, handling stray animals, avoiding the use of assessment categories as much as possible. It seems expedient to regulate the most important issues precisely at the level of federal law. In connection with the inclusion in the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation of norms establishing responsibility for a number of violations of the procedure for handling animals, it is necessary to bring regional acts in line with the provisions of the Code, excluding duplicate norms.
