Constitutional Court Upholds Controversial Animal Law Amidst Public Outcry
A recent decision by the Constitutional Court has sparked significant public unrest as it upheld a controversial law concerning animal rights, initially enacted last year. The nation’s primary opposition party had challenged the law, claiming it infringes on animal rights and sought the annulment of several of its articles.
The court’s ruling declared the provisions legally valid, permitting the continued implementation of the law. This decision has ignited protests in the capital, where animal rights advocates are vocally opposing the legislation. They express concerns that the law could lead to widespread culling of animals or result in dogs being confined to overcrowded and unsanitary shelters.
