| El caso del Festival Gastronómico del Gato, 2014 (Peru) | El Festival de Currunao era una celebración anual que se celebraba en el sur de Lima, Perú. Este festival estaba dedicado a la celebración de Santa Efigenia de Etiopía. Tradicionalmente, este evento incluía prácticas controvertidas, como el consumo de gatos y carreras en las que se les lanzaban fuegos artificiales. En 2013, un grupo de activistas presentó una demanda de amparo solicitando la suspensión inmediata de estas prácticas, argumentando que eran crueles según la antigua ley peruana contra la crueldad animal, No. 2725. Además, argumentaron que los animales son seres sintientes, capaces de experimentar dolor y sufrimiento. Ese mismo año, el Juez Civil de Cañete emitió una medida cautelar, suspendiendo dichas actividades. En 2014, la Corte Superior de Justicia de Cañete prohibió permanentemente estas prácticas, concluyendo que violaban el derecho a un ambiente equilibrado y saludable, fomentaban la violencia y representaban graves riesgos para la salud pública y el bienestar social. |
| Elisea v. State |
Defendant was convicted of cruelty to animals and practicing veterinary medicine without a license after cropping several puppies' ears with a pair of office scissors while under no anesthesia. Defendant maintained that the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction for cruelty to an animal because the State failed to present sufficient evidence to rebut and overcome his defense that he engaged in a reasonable and recognized act of handling the puppies. The court held that the evidence supported conviction for cruelty under the definition of "torture." Further the evidence supported conviction for unauthorized practice where defendant engaged in a traditional veterinary surgical procedure and received remuneration for his services. |
