O odgovornem lastništvu psa According to Animal Protection Act (Article 4), cruelty to animals is considered to be: • any handling or the absence of handling that is premeditated and causes lasting harm to the animal or the prolonged or repetitive suffering of the animal, or that affects its health, • the avoidable or inappropriate killing of an animal. It needs to be pointed out here that not only an action, but also an omission of certain actions as care of the animal that results in animal suffering, shall be deemed as cruelty to the animal. Penal Code of the Republic of Slovenia defines animal cruelty as criminal offence, laying down that a person handling an animal with cruelty and causing avoidable pain to the animal shall be penalised by a fine or by confinement of up to six months. A person, who by such action inflicts pain and suffering on several animals, or permanently seriously mutilates the abused animal, or by cruel means causes the animal to die, shall be penalised by imprisonment of up to one year. 17 17
