Abstract
The paper formulated and systematized the signs of severe bodily injury to animals, which are: danger to life and the risk of animal death, the threat of loss or the loss of any organ or the loss of its functions by an organ, a health disorder that caused a permanent violation of the habitual existence (life) of a pet, the loss of their ability to make economic or other use, or the persistent loss of the possibility of the independent existence of a wild (homeless) animal in the environment, the threat of rupture or abortion, irreparable disfigurement of the muzzle or other parts of the body. It has been shown that life-threatening injuries are those that, at the time of infliction or after a certain period of time after the injury, lead to the appearance and development of pathological processes that threaten the body and which, without the provision of veterinary care, in the usual course, end or may end in death. It was stated that preventing the death of an animal by providing veterinary care should not be taken into account when assessing the threat to the life of such injuries. A condition threatening the life of an animal that develops during the clinical course of injuries, regardless of the length of time that has passed since its infliction, must be in direct causal connection with it. The definitions of the terms «health disorder», «stand (permanent) loss of the possibility of realizing the habitual mode of existence (life) of a domestic animal, or persistent loss of the possibility of an independent existence of a wild (homeless) animal in the environment», «consequence of damage» are given in the work.
