Program on the Protection of Animals
PARTITO ANIMALISTA EUROPEO
Proposed Law
1) Law 189/2004
Law substantially inadequate to criticism from its name "Title IX-A of Book II of the Penal Code - crimes against SENTIMENTO for animals" for art. 544 bis (killing of animals), 544 ter (mistreatment of animals), 544 quater (shows or events that involve torture or torment to animals) notes or procedures do not allow the arrest or detention of the suspect or the crime of protective measures personal (for the limited period of imprisonment provided), and these provisions do not apply to cases provided for by special laws on hunting, fishing, farming, transport, slaughter, scientific experimentation, circus activities, zoos, historical and cultural event entitled region by the competent authority (art. 19-b):
The EAP proposes tougher penalties, which are currently inadequate and insufficient, relating to crimes against animals; proposes the repeal of. 19-b, suggests that anyone who has shown conviction, but not definitive, for the crimes referred to in art. 727, 544-bis, 544-ter, 544-quater, 544-quinques, 638, 672, of the Criminal Code and, for those provided for in art. 2 of the Law of 20 July 2004, n. 189, may not purchase, possess or keep animals for any reason.
2) Act 281/1991
a) Law 281/1991 (Law Framework animal disease and prevention of stray dogs) art.3-art.4 are totally discuss the procedures and criteria relating to the powers between the regions and municipalities that are financially and logistics.
E'sostanzialmente wrong content referred to art.3 - 4: the Law on Regional National demanda discipline matter, the regions determine the criteria for the rehabilitation, management of municipal animal shelter and construction of shelters for dogs, also determine the criteria and procedures for the allocation between the Municipalities of contributions for the implementation of interventions within their jurisdiction while leaving all responsibility to the municipalities themselves, the communities provide the above using the contributions for that purpose by the region in turn delegated by the State In this way E 'IMOSSIBLE IDENTIFYING THE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FACTS OR ILLEGAL criminal as often happens (animal abuse, inadequate and overcrowded cages, lack of health standards, fraud against the exchequer and Public Administration).
For the reasons set out above would be appropriate to determine a single Local Authority which provide empowerment and responsibility.
b) Law 281/1991 (Law Framework animal disease and prevention of stray dogs) art. 5: Sanctions;
inadequate and irrelevant administrative penalties applied. The P.A.E. proposes tougher penalties and the inclusion of criminal convictions.
3) Order Turkish ministerial 12:12:06
Protecting public dall'aggressione the life of dogs:
Given the ministerial order of 12:12:06 for the Turkish public dall'aggressione protect the life of dogs; given the numerous and constant acts of aggression to people by dogs, with fatal consequences; given the inadequacy of protective measures taken; believes that order is completely ineffective, poor and sterile, confirming, so obviously the failure of the approach.
To give greater effect to the above order is essential to make the changes referred to in paragraph 3:
Review Article. 6 1: administrative penalties, totally inadequate and derisory, should be significantly increased; restore the criminal conviction; also: Review Article. 5 4: found aggression and the danger of dog breeds and crosses of the breeds listed in the Annex of the Turkish, but it is just limited to identifying only the subject for which it is strictly prohibited to buy, own or possess dogs rather it would be appropriate to determine the reasons for possible approval the holding of the same: eg. for personal protection of individuals exposed to risk of kidnapping, robbery of an offense that is unjust, for which equate such permission to the license to carry pistol for personal defense including all restrictive regulations provided (among the many documents required certificate is essential Preliminary anamnestically from family doctor to obtain a medical certificate then the final assessment by medical doctors or military ASL).
Notwithstanding all of the responsibilities assumed by the holder (in case of an accident not related to the reasons mentioned above) for negligence or imprudence or inexperience.
And finally
shameful is the amendment to Article 1, comma1, point e) i) Ministerial dell'Ordinanza Turkish, for the will of the Minister on 28 March 2007. At advanced pressures dall'ENCI (National Board of Italian Cinofilia) has allowed the cutting of the tail (caudotomia) to all puppies belonging to dog breeds recognized by the FCI noting but not in contravention of the provisions of Article 10 of the European Convention for the Protection of pets. A SERIOUS NOTE cruelty 'NO NEED' BUT A HUGE PROFIT PROTECTION OF PRIVATE INTERESTS.
4) Article 672 Criminal Code
Non-custody and misgovernment of animals:
To give greater effect to this provision is essential to make two fundamental changes: administrative penalties, totally inadequate and derisory, should be substantially increased;
restore the conviction.
5) Article 727 Criminal Code
Mistreatment of animals: To give greater effect to this provision is essential to make a substantial change to the following sentence: "And productive of great suffering" with "and productive of suffering even small"
6) Regional Law 34/1997
a) Regional Law 34/1997 (Protection of animals and disease prevention of stray dogs) art.8: determine effective criteria and procedures relating to payment of contributions to the institutions mentioned in Art. 2 paragraph 1 in order to avoid havoc SHAMEFUL LIMITATION OF ANIMALS A speculative (eg KENNEL LUCA HOUSE - ROME: To collect, by deceit, plus contributions from local authorities, operators many animals housed in small cages of dimensions narrow, non-regulatory , so small as not to allow the upright and into themselves slue, located in the basement without ensuring the natural alternation of day and night; undernourished, without veterinary care, no protection sanitation: = + dogs + prisoners received money - purchased feed + earned money!).
This is just one of many kennels showing irregular bankruptcy system adopted is contributing substantially wrong with the "X euro for 1 dog prisoner "
The P.A.E. considers appropriate to exclude the direct contribution represented by sums of money paid directly into the coffers of the operators of kennels (to avoid the possibility of committing unlawful acts and / or crimes mentioned above), facilitating targeted effectively to determine the welfare of animals kept. Ex: directly delivering food and medicine; assistance of veterinary doctors from the AASSLL; interventions ordinary and extraordinary maintenance performed by municipal employees, utilities paid directly by the government, a surprise inspection by the supervisory bodies represented by volunteers-volunteers (new term to indicate the true volunteers, ie those who do not receive any compensation for their undertaking). The P.A.E. calls, moreover, the conversion of kennels / lager in hospitality facilities compatible with their nature to protect the health and welfare of animals.
b) Regional Law 34/1997 art .. 6: ensure that the voluntary associations of wildlife is objectively represented by volunteers (volunteers = no compensation) and check whether for profit and speculation, verify the correct application of paragraph 2: organizations implement and manage the facilities at their own expense (eg MYSTERIOUS, OBSCURE AND SYSTEMATIC FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION TO BE SAME KENNEL ASSOCIATION VOLUNTEERS PORTA PORTESE-ROMA: for years over 100 people receive compensation up to 3,000 euros per month! and the number of animal is held by more than 900, twice as much could and should cause serious consequences such as reduction of space is incompatible with their nature and the risk of spreading infectious diseases, providing more welfare of animals. The holding in - incompatible conditions and excessive overcrowding in particularly narrow box incorporates the crime of criminal mistreatment of animals within the meaning of Act No 189/2004, Article 727 Criminal Code Criminal Cour de cassation, Sect. III, 24/01/2006 (Ud 21 / 12/2005), Ruling No. 2774, also 14/05/2001 Circular No. 5 of the Ministry of Health signed by the Minister Veronesi states that the choice of the concession for the management of kennels by municipalities should be directed not only to who guarantees the cost of management, but especially to those who ensure the welfare of animals .-)
c) Regional Law 34/1997 Art. 25: limits the scope
The P.A.E. proposes that the provisions of this law are applied to the dogs belonging to the armed forces and police for service. Therefore calls for the repeal of that article of the Law
d) Regional Law 34/1997 art.12
(Registry canina)
In order to combat effectively the problem of it is considered essential must register each new birth microcip after operation, the requirement for all businesses, farms, public or private animal shelter, or to all sites for trade , breeding, training, possession of dogs, to check the validity and authenticity of the documents concerning the registration and microcip and to denounce, with the competent bodies, any irregularities or illegal. It must be absolutely forbidden to treat animals not register and microcippati.
Terminate sending the death certificate, issued by the veterinary surgeon ASL full description of the causes, at the office of jurisdiction within 72 hours after the accident.
Reporting the loss at the office of jurisdiction within 48 hours after the accident.
Under art.24 Legge Regionale Regione Lazio n.34/97 signed Badaloni anyone fails to register their dog all'anagrafe canine or fails to submit it to the tattoo shall be punished by administrative sanction for payment of a sum, INSUFFICIENT AND IRRELEVANT between a minimum of 77.50 euros and a maximum of EUR 155.00.
The low administrative penalty, the lack of conviction, lack of control exercised by the supervisory bodies could cause the attacker not to register the animal with a view to using the same illegal act: some examples for fighting illegal for vivisection or not to be identified following the ignominious action abandonment.
For the EAP administrative penalties, totally inadequate and derisory, should be substantially increased by restoring the conviction. Expand the number of checks carried out by the bodies.
Supervision of Non-compliance of the laws and regulations, failure to implement the provisions of the Regulations follows
7) City of Rome
Municipal Regulations on the Protection of Animals
Approved unanimously by the City Council on 24 October 2005. In effect from 9 November 2005.
Complete, thorough, detailed, suitable for a large and important cities like Rome, to be compared as an example and this has been stated.
Nobles are the principles and institutional profiles, high ethical values and cultural, but they are only words.
E 'spent over a year after the entry into force and the situation for pets and their owners is always more dramatic: animals kept in poor conditions, animals on display in shop windows in undersized cages and overcrowded, strays and abandoned dogs on the rise, begging with animals, circuses with performing animals, barrels that are moving in the hours prohibited ill-treatment within the municipal kennel, with lobster claws linked aquariums unsuitable, insufficient and inadequate municipal areas for dogs "fido park, communal area for dogs with payment of annual fees received by private associations, sandy areas (beaches) non-existent public transport prohibited to dogs of medium and large size, even a non-existent public first aid, the budget of 8,000,000 euros annually administered is not transparent, inaccessible and concealed, major contracts awarded in ways obscure and ambiguous, coordination for the purpose of implementing the regulation on protection of animals is sterile and inefficient, and to date has not been the training of staff of the Police Municipale (the body responsible for supervision) which works in synergy with the UDA (deadline expired for a year), and was not expressed any determination by hearing Dirigenziale regarding the specific provisions relating to the characteristics and dimensions of crates, caskets and boxes in which are stored and exposed animals in the business without the above determination is impractical for the Board of Control, to determine any irregularities or violations.
THIS IS TRUE AND DRAMATIC PRESENT SITUATION IN ROME, as reported in the UDA DOSSIER (exhaustive document complaint with numerous photographs depicting abuse and violations, to perform administrative acts, complaints, complaints and exposed to the Prosecutor's Office and the Court of Accounts, surveys and the Carabinieri NAS)
THE CLASSIC EXAMPLE WHERE THE RULES ARE THERE BUT ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE AND APPLIED have never been punished (in the case of Administrative Offenses) OR deprived (for the bad management), WITH REFERENCE TO THE DELEGATION OF THE MAYOR OF THE RESPONSIBLE ANIMAL Rights, DESPITE THE MAYOR PRO TEMPORE OF THE CITY OF ROME AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT X-ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES AND AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES WERE INFORMED OF THE FACTS.
The P.A.E. Calls to introduce in order to avoid similar situations, criminal convictions and penalties for failure to supervision on compliance with the laws and rules, for failure to implement the provisions of the Rules.
Detention of animals, regulations and prohibitions
8) Kennel, display and transfer title to any animal
Prohibit the sale of animals within the business
Allowing the trade, for sale or donation, only to herds authorized municipal kennels, dog kennels and private agreement, upon registration all'anagrafe dog referred to in paragraph 6 d
9) Prohibition and regulation of shows and entertainment
Prohibit any form of spectacle or entertainment, or public or private place with non-profit organization that addresses the use of animals in circuses, fairs, festivals, historic events and cultural
10) Detention of aquatic animal
Prohibition of slaughter or killing of fisheries products in live exercises wholesale, retail and catering outlets (including the regrettable practice of cooking alive).
11) Supervisory Bodies
The P.A.E. requires a concrete and effective supervision exercised by the bodies, the rules already in place, calls in addition, the effective implementation and regulation of the "Guardia Zoofilia" represents a service exclusively by volunteers-volunteers recognized and active in direct collaboration with ' Animals Rights Office and the Police (Polizia di Stato, Arma dei Carabinieri, Body guard Finance, the State Forestry Corps, Corps of provincial and municipal police), and with skills to raise the penalties already provided for (topic by Law No. 189/2004) with a right of access at any time at any site detention of animals (kennels public, private kennels, kennels agreement, farms, training centers, shops, yards, gardens, etc.).
Laws and regulations must be complied with.
The bodies responsible for monitoring will have to exercise an efficient supervision is a preventive measure in that repressive measure.
The P.A.E. asked to determine criminal sentences and penalties for failure to comply with the supervision of the laws and regulations or for failure to implement the provisions of Regulation (already provided for in paragraph 7).
Services and areas for the animals
12) Emergency Veterinary ASL
It requires the implementation of Emergency veterinary public h24-equipped and efficient. At present there are not, serious and unacceptable.
It also requires the establishment of the National Health Service veterinarian, equivalent to SSN of humans, in order to ensure adequate veterinary care with the award of medical competence.
13) Areas and trails for dogs
As regards access to parks and public areas already governed by very restrictive rules on EAP requires more sites equipped (in quantity, size and quality) and suitably identified for that purpose, in the reasonable ratio between the number of inhabitants and the number of animals surveyed.
14) Access of animals on public transport services
Allow access to all animals regardless of the condition in size with the necessary care and precautions, means of public transport.
15) Arenile
One of the major causes of early animal in the summer period June to September is the prohibition of access, extended throughout the country, the same in the sandy areas.
The breach of this prohibition is punishable by .1164 Navigation Code which provides, according to DL 507 of 30.12.1999, art. 10 paragraph 3 of an administrative penalty payment of a sum of 2 million to 6 million pounds.
Beginning in 2002 the legislation on the beaches is not the responsibility of Porto Capitanerie directly but the regions may delegate individual municipalities, which will determine the provisions in this regard.
This requires identifying and equipping beaches intended for animals, free access and free, in the proper relationship between the number of inhabitants and the number of animals surveyed (it's unacceptable the total absence of public beaches throughout the country).
16) Animal Rights Office
Establish in all Italian cities the Office Animal Rights, a body responsible for supervising compliance with the laws and standards and the implementation of these provisions, in order to determine and resolve issues relating to animals.
17) Vivisection and animal testing
We demand a radical change in research. Stop the vivisection and animal experimentation.
Not only in terms of ethics, where there can be no justification for these legalized torture, but also from a scientific point of view: animal testing in the evaluation of toxicity of the substances, in almost all cases provide forecasts for the wrong man. Each animal species is biologically, physiologically, genetically, anatomically very different from the others and the extrapolation of data between one species and another are impossible. Complaints, more frequent and on official bodies were even made by the Director responsible for Scientific Research of the European Commission Thomas Hartung "tests on animals, for the lack of reliability, they are bad science" and calls for a radical change in research. Examples of alternative research methods in vitro, using cell cultures and tissue, and in silico, with computer models based on the relationship between chemical structure and their biochemical, physiological and biocinetica or structure-activity relationships of quantitative (QSAR ), toxicogenomics, which studies the reaction of the genome of the human cell. These new methods, moreover, are faster, more reliable and cheaper than animal tests.
Regretted the attitude of the Italian government where the majority of politicians, despite their commitment to the 2006 election campaign page. 153 Program "in line with EU legislation and in the light of recent scientific studies on the subject, we must promote and encourage research carried out by alternative methods to animal and gradually abolish the research and experimentation that they make use." , the interests and profits of the chemical industry and the consequent increase of the current staff, AUTHORIZING AND JUSTIFY THE TORTURE AND acts of cruelty 'perpetrated against animals!
18) Hunting Activities
We offer 5 points for the regulation of hunting.
Not only in terms of ethics, where there can be none of our approval, but also to protect public safety.
AND 'AT RISK The limb' OF CITIZENS AND THEIR HEALTH!
The figures speak for themselves: every season because an average of 60 dead and 90 wounded - 4 injured per week, one death every 3 days (failing Estimates drawn from press release). In addition to deaths and injuries occur damage to private property and crops, reports of poaching and killing of protected species, aggression operators responsible for monitoring the hunting and forestry, families under siege by armed people and irresponsible measures regional concessions of exceptions, etc.. . All this confirms that a hunting out of every rule and disrespectful of the laws and directives. This is why Italy has been criticized and four (4) times condemned by the European Court of Justice
The P.A.E. to limit the foregoing suggests 5 substantive items:
1) the deletion of Art. 842 cc: access to private fenced funds for the exercise of hunting.
Currently the law allows hunters to invade the private against the wishes of the owners, unless they have a closed-end fund (and is deeply unfair to compel the owners of the funds with an obligation for extraordinary expenses, the definition of a fund with a fence of at least 1.20 meters to hectares require high investment). But again, anyone who enters the fenced fund shall be punished, on complaint of the offense, a fine (laughable) to 103 euros (art.637 Criminal Code)
2) limitations on the issuance of the license port of rifle hunting for limiting the validity of the license for years one (1) as required for a license to carry arms for personal defense. Upon expiration of the term of the license holder will have to repeat the tests at the time products of 1 release.
The examination committee will assess more rigor and inflexibility all candidates.
The medical fitness will be conducted by a military doctor or physician ASL only after having viewed the certificate anamnestically doctor.
3) reduction of the period for the hunting season: In order to minimize the damage caused by an uncontrolled hunting would be appropriate to limit the hunting period to two months. To further ensure public safety during the hunting ban on Sundays.
4) strengthening of the surveillance activities on the territory and the administration: it is totally insufficient number of agents involved in the control whereas 70% of the territory of each region is for the hunt.
5) tightening of sanctions: the majority of offerings are criminal penalties, the offender has the opportunity to oblare through payment of a sum of money, almost always laughable, and this allows the offender not to be subjected to the process and obtain a refund the rifle.
19) Intensive Farming
We ask for the conversion of farm equipment in indoor air.
Is to protect the lives of animals is to protect human health.
The dangerous H5N1 virus commonly called "bird flu" and the cases of BSE known as "mad cow", which have recently alarmed the public world, are the result of breeding of animals intended for human consumption: intensive rearing.
The factors that make the intensive development of the cause of infectious agents are the large number of animals kept in a small space and use of antibiotics used to offset the damage caused by unnatural conditions of life. In the intensive are given antibiotics and vaccines that enhance the individual resistors and then increase the capacity for mutation of the virus, the same story of "mad cow" shows the connection between the types of farming and the possible diseases that may arise.
The push technology has enabled the spread of this syndrome in cattle and in other species, including humans. Discussion and expert assistance from the Governments do not set the focus on the real causes of these outbreaks, finding only solution to mass slaughter that unfortunately did not resolve the situation. Vaccines are being sought, with the only effect of increasing the business of pharmaceutical companies worldwide. In the meantime, millions of animals are dying and the number of fatalities increases. According to the latest data from the World Health Organization, the H5N1 virus has infected a total of 267 people, killing at least 161 in 10 countries in three years. Not only just in the last hours in Jakarta reported that bird flu has also spread among dogs and cats that are moving close to poultry and these, of course, will be killed. To all this must be added the trade in animals for human consumption that are transported from one continent to another hygienic aberrant helping the spread of these epidemics, due to the lack of controls.
20) Bioparco Zoo
We demand the total abolition of the Zoo and / or Bioparco.
The P.A.E. does not consider the animals' phenomena from booths, dignity and rights must be guaranteed.
21) Vegetarian food
Given that live in our territory a few million vegetarians, the PAE considers legitimate and democratic propose, in the canteens, schools and public and private agencies, represented an alternative to food from food of animal origin.
The choice may be dictated by ethical reasons (the vegetarian is not working to produce harm or suffering to other living things, the limits of a concrete compatibility with their own vital needs), health associations or motivations (some publications that attest to the vegetarians' abundant production of fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals reduce the incidence of vascular diseases, cancers, hypertension, diabetes and obesity. Moreover, it reduces the overhead protein against kidney and liver), however in both cases is right, in compliance of all, given the possibility of a real alternative.
