Perros potencialmente peligrosos en el marco legal colombiano

Abstract

The objective of this research is to determine and publicize the position and application of interdisciplinary criteria and different sources of law to the topic of potentially dangerous dogs in Colombia. For this we have used a deductive methodology, together with qualitative techniques through which types of exploratory and explanatory-descriptive study were used; studying succinctly the treatment that is given to this subject in different countries of the world, then at national level, from the Constitution and the jurisprudential pronouncements of the Constitutional Court, finally the theoretical foundations of different human and social sciences. As a result, we observe that the legal pronouncements regarding this faunal subclassification lack theoretical, practical and constitutional foundations that sustain the treatment that has been given to it at the national level; At the same time, there is evidence of the lack of a comprehensive law that particularly develops the issue. The investigation allows to conclude that potentially dangerous dogs have received treatment that lacks the protections that are due to a sentient and constitutionally protected subject.
