Explanation of Article 130

This article addresses the ruling on liability for damage caused by an animal. It stipulates that the animal's keeper is responsible for compensating for the damage caused by the animal, unless it is proven that the damage was due to a cause beyond their control. This liability is based on presumed responsibility, where fault is assumed on the part of the keeper, and contrary evidence is only accepted by negating the causal relationship.
