This beautiful state offers some protection to animals, even though it hasn’t shown official support for the Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare. The country’s Animal Health and Development Law contains provisions that seek the protection of animals against suffering, regardless if the source is intentional violence acts or negligence. The law covers both pets, animals bred by man or captured for various purposes.
Farming animals also have protection, while pets are offered legal protection against maiming, including cosmetic surgery. The wildlife, along with the natural areas, are also protected and conserved, as hunting animals in natural reserves is completely banned.
