In this scientific article we will see the importance of talking about the existence and also the effectiveness of public policies that relate to animal protection and well-being in Colombia and exactly in Villavicencio Meta, since different aspects arise in this that are fundamental because they affect both to animals as well as to society as a whole. First we are going to address this very important issue that provides the opportunity for us to evaluate the level of commitment and responsibility that the Colombian State and local authorities have towards the protection of animal rights. Since public policies are those instruments that are key to guaranteeing that adequate standards are established and that allocate resources for the protection of animals from possible abuse, mistreatment and exploitation, without leaving aside abandonment and neglect. of people. We also have as an analysis of the net existence of the public policies that exist, which we seek to identify if there are deficiencies, legal loopholes, legal loopholes or areas that must be improved in their legal and administrative framework. This is important since what it achieves is to promote improvements and legislative and administrative changes to strengthen the protection and well-being of animals in the country and in the specific region that is Villavicencio's target. In addition to this, we seek to investigate the topic to be discussed and raise awareness among the population, non-governmental organizations and other actors that may be relevant to advocate for the rights of those without a voice, managing to disseminate information that is clear, and concise to also update on any situation of public policies related to protection and that actions can be taken and society mobilized so that changes and improvements arise. Already focusing on Villavicencio, it is important that we can understand how these policies at the national level can arise and also be included at the local level, also being able to understand how they can be adapted to the needs and also to the realities of the particular relationship. Villavicencio, as an urban and rural area, faces unique challenges daily in terms of animal protection, thus needing specific approaches and solutions that contribute positively to the socioeconomic, cultural and geographical context. That is why we seek to propose recommendations that are concrete and that, guided by this evidentiary material, we seek to improve legislation, application mechanisms and those programs that seek to raise awareness and educate the population of Villavicencio, and the Colombian country in general. Thus including proposals to increase those resources that are allocated to the application and strengthening of the law, establishing strict standards for well-being and to promote education on the appropriate treatment of animals from the earliest age, according to the life cycle. of the human being.
