Animal Welfare Act, 1999 (No. 142 as of 01 October 2008), Public Act

The Animal Welfare Act 1999 came into force on 1 January 2000. The core philosophy of the Act is the prevention of ill-treatment and inadequate care of animals. It does this through imposing obligations on those who own or are in charge of animals, to meet the animals' physical, health and behavioural needs and, where practicable, to provide treatment when animals are ill or injured that alleviates unreasonable or unnecessary pain and distress.
