This is stipulated by a project approved in the first debate in Congress. The idea is to end the habit of cutting off the ears, tail or other parts of the body, for example, dogs, cats, horses and rabbits. In the first debate, the bill that includes aesthetic mutilations as a form of animal abuse was approved in Congress. This means, neither more nor less, that surgical interventions are prohibited whose sole purpose is to modify the aesthetic appearance of animals, such as, for example, trimming tail and ears, vocal cords and even the removal of teeth and nails.
"That is a barbaric and absurd practice that has no justification, less when from Law 1754 animals are no longer considered things but sentient beings that need special protection from the State and the authorities. This project is a huge victory in terms of the welfare of the animals, but we also managed to include in the Police Code that they can enter without written order in the premises where there are animals with serious signs of abuse. So, from now on, people can call, denounce to make it effective, "said representative Juan Carlos Losada, Liberal Party, rapporteur of the initiative.
In the world there are 47 countries that prohibit surgical interventions to modify the aesthetic appearance of animals. As explained by Losada, the only exception that will be accepted to perform this type of intervention should be only medical and curative, never attacking the physical or psychological integrity of the animal. The norm, that will continue its procedure in the new legislature that starts next July 20, also establishes sport hunting in harmony with the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court.
