Taipei, April 27 (CNA) Taiwan's Legislature on Tuesday passed an amendment to the Animal Protection Act that expands the definition of "abuse" to include "acts of omission," with those convicted facing a maximum of two years in prison and a fine of up to NT$2 million (US$71,800).
Before the amendment was passed, "abuse" was defined as actively harming or treating animals in such a way as to render them unable to physically function -- for example by injuring them or causing organ failure -- as a result of violence, administering the wrong drugs or other improper behavior when rearing, looking after or dealing with them.
