Abstract

When deciding to have a pet, of course a person cannot be separated from the risks and responsibilities for their pet. In the criminal law, article 490 of the Criminal Code explains that pet owners must be responsible for all actions caused by their animals. The results of this research show protection for dog bite victims that unlawful acts caused by animals according to criminal law in Article 359 of the Criminal Code can be held accountable to the owner of the pet dog because his mistake (negligence) caused another person to die, punishable by a maximum prison sentence of five year or a maximum imprisonment of one year. A sociological legal perspective views the effectiveness of law in society regarding unexpected negligence caused by pets, that there is still a lack of firm rules for each individual to regulate specific procedures and standards that must be met by dog pet owners. The spread of rabies to victims is due to the lack of public knowledge regarding procedures for dealing with rabies and preventive measures after the bite of a rabid animal.
