The proportionality of criminal sanctions imposed in the new law punishing mistreatment of dogs and cats in question (Federal Law nº14.064/2020)
Abstract: The Brazilian legal system prohibits and criminalizes the practice of abuse and mistreatment of animals as a crime. Faced with the repercussion of a shocking case of aggression against a dog that had its hind legs amputated about a year ago, Congress approved Federal Law 14.064/2020, increasing the penalties for the crime of mistreatment of dogs and cats, to the detriment of other domestic animals. Hence the object of this study that seeks to reflect and question why the increase in penalty applies only to dogs and cats? And if the new penalties imposed on the crime of mistreatment of dogs and cats could call into question the principle of proportionality when compared to the sanctions provided for crimes of mistreatment of other sentient animals or even committed against humans? The present article aims to study, through bibliographical and legislative research, analyze the legislation and answer these questions through the technical-legal interpretative method.
