pet's urine should be criminal offence of defacing

Recently, a dog owner was fined for not having properly cleaned his dog's urine.

The municipal police sanctioned the man for his failure to comply with the ordinance, which stipulates that, in order to avoid a pecuniary administrative penalty (in the present case, EUR 157), in the old town the urine of the animals must be immediately eliminated with water.

There could also be a criminal liability if a dog peeps on cars or building walls, it can integrate the "offense" crime under art. 639 of the Criminal Code: anyone who damages movable or immovable property is sanctionable with the fine of up to 103 euros, and it  can rise to 300 and 1,000 euros in the case of property, public or private transport. It should be pointed out that, if the dog ruins property of historical or artistic interest, the fine can reach 3,000 euros with imprisonment from three months to one year.

A recent judgment by the Supreme Court has absolved a dog’s owner carrying a bottle of water, representing this particular a clear intention of the man to cleanse the area contaminated by his dog.
