REFORMULASI SANKSI PELAKU PENGANIAYAAN TERHADAP HEWAN DALAM KITAB UNDANG-UNDANG HUKUM PIDANA NASIONAL DIKAITKAN DENGAN TUJUAN PIDANA

Abstract

Humans and animals were created to coexist and complement each other.
But in Indonesia there are often acts of animal abuse. In Indonesia, legal
arrangements related to animal abuse have been regulated in articles 336-338 of
the National Criminal Code (KUHP). However, existing sanctions in Indonesia
are still not ideal in their application, so there are still many perpetrators of
animal abuse. The purpose of this study is to identify ideal sanctions that should
be applied in Indonesia in the context of criminal purposes.
This research is a normative legal research, it is based on literature
research that takes quotations from reading books or supporting books related to
the problem under study. This study used secondary data sources consisting of
primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. This study also used qualitative
data analysis and produced descriptive data.
From the results of the discussion and research conducted, it is necessary
to review the sanctions for animal abuse in the Criminal Code in Indonesia. This
is because the current sanctions are not aligned with the purpose of punishment
which should provide a deterrent effect and coaching opportunities to the
perpetrators of these crimes. In addition to the imposition of sanctions, additional
sanctions are also needed, such as a ban on animal ownership, animal-related
social work, education and counseling, and monitoring and supervision.
