Is there a penalty for a person who regularly fights dogs?

Dog fighting is strictly prohibited by law in Uzbekistan and is considered cruelty to animals. Dog fighting, organizing, participating in, or promoting such fights is considered a violation of current legislation and is subject to administrative or criminal liability.

The state, based on the principles of animal protection, does not allow deliberate infliction of suffering, violence, or use of animals as a means of entertainment. Therefore, any activity related to dog fighting is considered a violation and measures prescribed by law will be taken.

There is information on the Instagram social network that a citizen named Akramjon is regularly fighting dogs. We do not know the address of this citizen, but his phone number is known: +998 94 041 20 20. In this regard, we ask law enforcement agencies to provide a legal assessment of the actions of this person.
