Establishment of Administrative Responsibility for Approval of Animal Attacks on Humans: Analysis of the Administrative Offenses Legislation of Moscow and the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania

Abstract

On the basis of the analysis of federal legislation and administrative legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the author justifies the necessity to establish administrative responsibility for permitting animal attacks on humans in the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. It is unacceptable when one constituent entity of the RF in a case of an act the consequences of which obviously have publicly harmful nature considers this act as an administrative offense and another entity does not treat it as an administrative offence. The author suggests a complex of measures aimed at overcoming gaps in the administrative offenses legislation. Adoption of tough measures, including those of administrative and legal nature, are able of ensuring the security of citizens, protecting their health and property, improving the culture of keeping animals.
