Mistreatment is a crime Mistreatment of animals is considered an environmental crime and is provided for in Law No. 9,605/1998. Article 32 criminalizes conduct such as abuse, mistreatment, injury or mutilation of wild, domestic, native or exotic animals. The following are considered mistreatment: physical or psychological aggression; abandonment; lack of water, food or shelter; keep the animal trapped in an inappropriate place; prevent veterinary treatment; poisoning or death caused in a cruel way. The penalty is detention from three months to one year, in addition to a fine, which may be increased if there are aggravating circumstances, such as repeat offenses or greater severity of the damage caused. If the crime results in the death of the animal, the penalty can be increased by one-sixth to one-third. In 2020, Law No. 14,064, known as the Samsão Law, was sanctioned, which made the punishment more severe when the crime involves dogs or cats. In these cases, the penalty was imprisonment for 2 to 5 years, a fine and a ban on keeping the animal. REVIEW EPTV VIDEOS: See more news from the region on g1 São Carlos and Araraquara
