Polish animal protection and public safety legislation

Overview

Following reports of aggressive dogs escaping a private property in Płock and attacking a resident and their pet, local authorities announced a multi-agency inspection. The investigation, involving the police and veterinary officers, aims to assess property security and animal living conditions.

In response to public safety concerns, a legislative proposal has been submitted to the Sejm to amend animal protection laws. The proposed law would allow prosecutors to seize dangerous dogs that cause bodily harm or death, following expert consultation. While the measure includes a ban on re-adoption, the Association of Polish Counties has raised concerns regarding the estimated 1.2 million PLN annual cost to local governments for maintaining these animals in shelters.
