RESPONSIBILITY OF ANIMAL OWNER

The person who undertakes the care and management of an animal, permanently or temporarily, is obliged to compensate for the damage caused by the animal. Even if the person is not at fault in the birth of this damage, he is responsible for the resulting damage. This liability is the liability of the cause, not the liability of fault. The owner of the animal is not liable if he proves that he has taken the necessary care to prevent the damage. So the animal master can bring proof of salvation.

This state of responsibility is stated in Article 67 of Law No. 6098, “The person who takes care and management of an animal permanently or temporarily is obliged to compensate for the damage caused by the animal. If the owner of the animal proves that he has taken the necessary care to prevent this damage, he will not be responsible. If the animal is frightened by someone else or by someone else’s animal, the owner of the animal reserves the right of recourse to these persons.
