In an interview with Jovem Pan, Rosana Valle (PL-SP) defended greater rigor in punishments as a way to prevent new cases; the proposal comes after the case of the dog Orelha, beaten to death by four teenagers
Federal deputy Rosana Valle (PL-SP) presented a Bill (PL) that amends the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA) and expands socio-educational measures in cases of violence against animals.
The proposal comes after the case of the community dog Orelha, beaten to death by four teenagers in Florianópolis (SC),
In an interview with Young Panthe parliamentarian explained this Wednesday (4) that the ECA does not provide for hospitalization for an infraction similar to the crime of extreme cruelty to animals.
“Today, as stated in the ECA, cases of violence against animals are not classified. It is extreme cruelty. This needs to be urgently changed. It is a gap in the ECA regarding animal cruelty”, stated Rosana Valle.
In Brazil, the ECA establishes the rights and socio-educational measures applicable to minors. Illegal conduct carried out by adolescents is classified as an infraction and can lead to sanctions such as probation or, in extreme cases, hospitalization, which is the most rigorous measure provided for by legislation.
This punishment, however, is only permitted when there is proof of violence or serious threat, recurrence of serious infractions or non-compliance with previously imposed measures.
Representative Rosana Valle also stated that she is working with the Liberal Party so that the bill is urgently scheduled in the National Congress.
“It is a possible and objective modification. I am not discussing the application of the ECA, I am discussing a gap in the law”, he declared.
According to the parliamentarian, the ECA does not provide for hospitalization in cases of cruelty against animals. She cited article 122, which conditions the measure to situations of serious threat or violence only against humans, and not animals.
The PL presented by Rosana awaits receipt from the Board of the Chamber of Deputies so that it can then dispatch and indicate the committees responsible for analyzing the text and subsequent discussions.
