mirabilia_2017-01-04.pdfThis article analyzes the application feasibility of restorative justice to cases of bestiality and animal abuse, considering it to be a form of justice’s promotion that does not overlap with the current model, and which can be exercised by the Judiciary as a procedural stage, and still to involve, besides the victim itself, others affected.
