Documentary abstract — original language
This article critically analyzes Ecuador's legal framework on animal abuse and killing, reviewing the 2008 Constitution, the COIP (2014/2019), the CODA (2017), and landmark cases such as “Mona Estrellita” and “Spayk.” It also compares Ecuador's legislation with that of Spain, Colombia, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. It highlights procedural gaps, such as private criminal action, and institutional shortcomings that limit the effectiveness of sanctions and administrative protection. Although regulatory advances and penalties of up to three years for cruel death are recognized, impunity and inequality in territorial application persist. Comprehensive reforms are proposed: declaring abuse crimes public, increasing penalties, creating an Organic Law on Animal Welfare, establishing specialized units, registering animals and abusers, and strengthening education and shelters. These measures seek to translate the legal framework into real and effective animal protection.
