Cuba approves animal rights law after activists’ campaign
Cuba has adopted long-called for animal rights regulations, a groundbreaking victory for activists in the communist nation. It's an important step for a civil society marveling at its demands being translated into law for the first time, and signals a cultural shift on an island of contradictions between tradition and modernity. Late Friday, the Council of State approved the legislation, which provides for fines and potential prison terms for offenders. It comes into force 90 days after its official publication.
