The features of criminal-legal estimation of use of representatives of fauna at hooliganism and other crimes which are made with hooliganism motives are considered. The author points out inconsistency of the settled judicial-investigative practice of recognizing dogs as an object used as a weapon during commitment of a crime. The subjective signs of the use of animals during the commitment of the researched acts are analyzed. Practical examples of bringing to responsibility of persons who use animals during the commission of a crime under Art. 213 of the Criminal Code and other acts of hooliganism are demonstrated.

hooliganism, animals as a tool (means) of crime, dangerous animals, public safety.
