The administrative proceedings concerning the temporary taking an animal

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is to present the administrative proceedings concerning the temporary taking the animal from the owner or the keeper of the animal. The author notices that the institution of the temporary taking an animal raised great interest in literature and judicial decisions of the administrative courts. The legislator decided that the competent authority may take an animal from the owner or the keeper of an animal because of the inhumane treatment of this animal. Such decision is provisional because in the long term, the criminal court should take the final decision in the criminal proceedings. The author shares the opinion that this institution aims to ensure the effective protection from the inhumane treatment of animals, taking account of their specific needs. The considerations concerning the temporary taking an animal lead to the conclusion that the administrative body should obey the principles on the effective investigation and documentation of cruel and inhumane treatment of animals.
