World Animal Day – Georgia
Animal conditions are fairly bad in Georgia and animal abuse is a frequent occurrence. These cases remain unpunished because Article 259 of the Criminal Code of Georgia regulating animal abuse is ‘dead’ and nobody has been punished yet.

“Georgian Society for the Protection and Safety of Animals” – GSPSA organized an event to celebrate World Animal Day in Tbilisi on October 4, 2017.
Proceeding from the fact that due to absence of respective legislation and incomplete legal base, animal abuse is very frequent, while the existing legislation does not provide for proper sanctions against extreme animal abusers, the main goal and demand of the event was to tighten Article 259 of the Criminal code regarding animal abuse. GSPSA petition to the Parliament of Georgia was presented on the event and signatures were collected.
