Brazilian legislative proposals on animal welfare and animal

Overview

The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies is reviewing several legislative measures concerning animal welfare and tourism. One bill proposes a ban on the creation, maintenance, and operation of zoos, aquariums, eco-parks, and safaris for the public display of wild or exotic animals. If enacted, existing facilities would have two years to deactivate, with animals transferred to authorized rehabilitation centers or sanctuaries.

In a separate legislative effort, Deputy Silvye Alves has introduced Bill PL 5.539/2026 to establish criteria for ‘pet-friendly’ tourism. This proposal seeks to allow dogs and cats in hotels, resorts, restaurants, and theme parks, provided safety and sanitary standards are met, recognizing pets as sentient beings.
