La tutela de los derechos de los animales y las sanciones a su transgresión.

Abstract

The current legal research project undertakes a thorough analysis related to the issue of abuse, focusing on the inefficacy of penal sanctions and their consequences in the increase of the number of animal abuse cases. Historical backgrounds, legal definitions, components of abuse, and their global context are explored. The current situation in Ecuador reveals concerning circumstances and during this thesis we will analyze all the contributing factors. The inefficacy of sanctions is primarily manifested in their inadequacy, poor implementation, and identification difficulties. The scale of cases and their impact on society are analyzed, emphasizing the consequences for the health and living conditions of abandoned animals, as well as the lack of a sanctioning and regulatory body to protect the affected rights of thousands of animals in Ecuador. The conclusion highlights the need for legislative reform, education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and continuous research.
