RT Book, Section T1 LESSON 1. The Criminal behaviour as action or omission. Exclusion from action or omission. A1 Fernández-Díaz, Carmen Rocío A2 Prieto-del-Pino, Ana María K1 Derecho penal K1 Delitos AB The human behaviour that a person materializes in the outside world constitutes the core of the offence, resultingin the violation of a criminal legal norm. It therefore follows that, although natural phenomena (storm, hurricane,fire, flood…), or animals themselves, can also produce harmful results (damage to things or injuries or death topeople), only human beings can commit criminal acts.If an animal bites a person, the consequent injuries cannot serve as the basis for a crime of injury. Such an attack couldonly be considered «criminal» if the animal had been flogged by a person or if the attack was a resultant of a lack ofcare on the part of the owner. In both cases, the criminally relevant behaviour would be that of the owner rather thanthat of the animal.
