Abstract:
The article contains an analysis of the Ukraine’s international obligations under international law in the sphere of animal welfare and protection of animals from cruelty. The research deals with comparative analysis of the Law of Ukraine “On the Protection of animals from cruelty” and European Convention for the protection of pet animals. The adoption of the mentioned Law and signing and ratification of the Convention formed a new legal institute associated with animal welfare and protection of animals from cruelty. But the Ukrainian legislation still requires further improvement and bringing the legislation in compliance with European standards.
