The Rules of Keeping Pet Animals in the Light of the Laws of the Republic of Poland and the Republic of Estonia

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt at a comparative analysis of the regulations which specify the rules of keeping pet animals in the Republic of Poland and in the Republic of Estonia. The analysis is based on a model by W.J. Kamba and comprises a description of the key elements of both systems, specification of their features, and indication of similarities and differences between them, followed by the identification of the central structural elements of both systems and their evaluation in terms of optimization of the existing solutions. Furthermore, the comparison includes a definition of a pet in both legal systems which is translated into specification of the object-related scope of both regulations, as well as the basic requirements for keeping a pet animal as a human companion, including the duties connected with identification and registration of animals, vaccination of animals against infectious diseases and the conditions of keeping pets.
