What is the punishment for animal cruelty?
Read full question
I saw a news story about a man in the Kyiv region hanging his dog from a fence. The police have opened a case. I wonder if Ukrainian law provides for liability for animal cruelty in the form of hanging?
I found an article about a package of newborn Staffordshire Terrier puppies being found in a trash can in Kyiv. One puppy died. The dog's owner confessed to the crime. Will he be held accountable under Article 299 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine?
If I see someone being cruel to an animal, such as beating or killing it, can I call the police and report it?
