Résumé

It is the purpose of this Act to protect and promote the welfare of all animals in the Philippines by supervising and regulating the establishment and operations of all facilities utilised for breeding, maintaining, keeping, treating or training of all animals either as objects of trade or as household pets. No person shall start an animal business without first securing from the Bureau of Animal Industry a certificate of registration therefor (sect. 2). The certificate shall be issued upon proof that the facilities of such establishment for animals are adequate, clean and sanitary and will not be used for, nor cause pain and/or suffering to the animals. The certificate shall be valid for a period of one year. The Director of the Bureau of Animal Industry shall be charged with supervision of the animals industry. There is hereby created a Committee on Animal Welfare attached to the Department of Agriculture. The Law declares torturing, neglecting to provide adequate care, sustenance or shelter, or maltreating any animal to be an offence (sect. 6). It shall be the duty of every person to protect the natural habitat of the wildlife. The destruction of said habitat shall be considered as a form of cruelty to animals and its preservation is a way of protecting the animals (sect. 7).
