[Abstract] The overall objective of this paper is to analyse and reflect on the effectiveness of the penalties provided in articles 337 and 337 bis of the Spanish Criminal Code for the crimes of animal cruelty or abuse as well as of animal abandonment. First, it examines imprisonment and the possibilities of its suspension, emphasizing the importance of educational programs on animal protection and welfare as a condition for such suspension. It then analyzes the penalties of disqualification and prohibition from practicing a profession or job, or from carrying out any type of trade involving animals and animal keeping, with the aim of addressing the main problems that arise when implementing them. This study undertakes a critical approach to the penalties for the crimes of animal abuse and abandonment, seeking a balance between the objective of animal welfare and protection and the full respect for the principles of Criminal law and for criminal guarantees.

Para ello, se examina, en primer lugar, la pena de prisión y sus posibilidades de suspensión, prestando especial atención a los programas formativos en materia de protección y bienestar animal como condicionante de la suspensión. Después, se analizan las penas de inhabilitación especial para el ejercicio de profesión, oficio o comercio que tenga que ver con los animales y para la tenencia de animales, tratando de dar respuesta a los principales problemas de aplicación que estas plantean. El trabajo sobre la penalidad de los delitos de maltrato y abandono de animales se ha enfocado desde un punto de vista crítico, buscando el equilibrio entre el objetivo del bienestar y la protección animal y el pleno respeto de los principios y garantías.
