Abstract

Criminal law recognizes the principle of criminal responsibility. Ideally, regulations
that uphold justice are not only burdensome to one party, be it the perpetrator or the victim.
In this study, there are two main issues: First, what is criminal liability for dog owners who
endanger the lives of other people, second, what are the specific standards and ideas for
appropriate sanctions for the future related to the problem of keeping dogs in the future.
The objectives of this minithesis are: First, to solve the problem of criminal liability
for dog owners who endanger other people's lives. Second, To find specific standard answers
and appropriate sanction ideas related to dog rearing problems in the future. The author
conducted research using normative juridical methods or literature studies.
From the research results there are two main things that can be concluded. First, the
criminal liability of dog pet owners who endanger the lives of other people. In criminal law,
the liability of pet owners who endanger the lives of others uses the rules on negligence.
Whoever because of his fault (negligence) causes another person to die, shall be punished by
a maximum imprisonment of five years or a maximum light imprisonment of one year. Second,
specific standards and appropriate sanction ideas for the future related to keeping dogs in the
future. Because there are no specific regulations related to keeping dogs, special standards
for keeping dogs must be formulated, namely dog keeping permits, cages that are large
enough, chain ties according to the size of the pet dog, adequate and good care and feeding.
Furthermore, the idea of the right sanction for the future in the case of a pet dog that kills
another person depends on the consequences caused by the dog. We also see the over capacity
factor of prisons in Indonesia. So the sanction does not have to be just imprisonment. Can be
replaced with a fine or imprisonment.
The author's suggestion in this study, suggests the importance of socialization by the
authorities regarding the maintenance of good and correct dog pets in society. As we know,
many Indonesian people are interested in keeping dangerous animals. Especially dogs as pets.
Must remind each other in living everyday life. If there are our neighbors who keep dogs and
do not implement a security system that guarantees the safety of the owner and neighbors
around the house. Suggested that there is a need for special arrangements regarding the
maintenance of dog pets in Law no. 41 of 2014 changes to Law no. 18 of 2009 concerning
Animal Husbandry and Health. Because there are no specific rules governing the maintenance
of dogs.
