URGENT CALL to sign the petition for the preservation of animal rights
Currently, Article 32 da Lei de Crimes Ambientais (Law 9.605/98) says:
Art. 32. Practice abuse, maus-TRATOS, injure or mutilate wild, domestic or domesticated, native or exotic.
Penalty – detention, three months to one year, and much.
The project by José Thomaz Nonô aims to give a new text, removing the text the terms "domestic or domesticated". If this happens, domestic and domesticated animals will be excluded Article 32, which today is the main legal instrument in defense of animals in the country.
With this change, all livestock and domesticated (or included dogs, cats and other pets) are unprotected. Currently, if someone mistreats an animal, be a stray animal or your pet, he can be imprisoned for three months or more. With the amendment proposed by the Bill 4.548/98, if someone tied to the car and dragging a dog to death just for "fun" (which unfortunately has already occurred and was punished according to law), stone or a cat to see him bleed to death (ditto), that person will come away with.
The same goes for bovine animals, What is the true motivation of the PL, as the Environmental Crimes Law in effect creates obstacles to the practice of outright, binge cattle-and rodeos. Mas result is that the benefit to the organizers of such "parties", whoever loses little legal protection they have are the oxen, cattle, horses and many other animals, including animals that live in home.

(THE COMMISSIONS OF CONSUMER PROTECTION, ENVIRONMENT AND MINORITIES; AND JUSTICE AND THE CONSTITUTION AND WRITING)
THE NATIONAL CONGRESS decrees:

………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Art. 32 Practice abuse, maus TRATOS, injure or mutilate wild, native or exotic:

Art. 3° Revokes the otherwise.
JUSTIFICATION
It is necessary to adjust the wording of Article 32 The reality of the country, otherwise perpetuate a situation of unrest generated by erroneous interpretation of Law No. 9.605.
At any time the legislature intended to violate existing traditions in our territory or, much less, constrain activities that today are of undeniable economic importance, constituting factor in the creation of jobs especially in rural.
Nationwide festivities abound involving pets or domesticated, deeply ingrained in the traditions and popular culture, since that date back to the early days of our colonization.
In the Northeast, eg, There are a vaquejada, the cavalhada and a number of sports like, whose practice, obviously, the law never intended to curtail.
On the other hand it is induvidoso rodeos attract thousands and thousands of people and now constitute true entertainment industry. Stimulate, likewise, a whole universe of products and services linked to sports practices and are internationally known. The Barretos parties in Sao Paulo, Uberaba in Minas, Deliverance of the Rio Grande do Sul among other examples of mega events and the tens of thousands of small parties of end-of-week that generate employment and income throughout the national territory, can not be threatened.
All this would be at risk if the expression "domestic and domesticated", here if you want to subtract the chapeau of Article 32, is the object of a generic interpretation, elastic, trying some "environmentalists" little enlightened.
Is clear that the spirit of the Law n ° 9.605 was not to frustrate or sports and cultural activities, or inhibit the generation of employment and wealth, but and only, punish animals subjected to mistreatment and cruel practices.
Actually we want to adopt this new wording, do nothing more than clarify the true intent of the legislature, curbing abusive interpretations, harmful to the national interest and contrary to common sense.
It never hurts to argue that the very law of misdemeanor criminal sanctions already has more than adequate for that submit that animal abuse or cruelty, there precisely defining the meaning of such expressions, which protects widely - as always protected - the pet or domesticated.
Hence why this initiative is offered to the consideration of my illustrious peers, sure, will host the.
