Remarks About Legal Situation of Animal Injured By Prohibited Act in Polish Criminal Process
Abstract
The article is focused on the issues relating to a legal situation of an animal
as a victim of a criminal offense. Currently, according to the rules of criminal procedure,
an animal, as an entity, cannot be legally recognised a victim, which significantly lowers
efficiency with which its interests can be protected. There are strong moral and pragmatic
reasons to grant animals the status of a non-personal carrier of legal rights. Legal
personality of animals as victims during a criminal trial should be of only passive nature,
allowing recognition of legally-protected interests of the animal.
