Resumen:
The Environmental Law has been having a strong focus on the world stage, despite
that, the evolution in this field is still being slow, specially about the animal rights.
Observed this, a bibliographic research was conducted, tracing a brief history of the
animal rights, observing discussions about the conception of animals like subjects of
law and, finally, proceeding with the study in the ambit of Brazilian Law, about how
the animals rights has been applied, specifically related to the Public Policies and
legislations related to Canine Leishmaniosis. With this study, is possible to
understand that animal rights, as the other rights, is passing through modifications,
and the theories about the acceptance of animals as subjects of law has been
adopted in some countries, and that the countries which didn‟t accept this concept
yet, ending, somehow, including the animals into their legislation; finally, facing this
study, are undeniable the loopholes and deficiencies of the Brazilian legislation
regarding the protection of animals and, mainly, the effectiveness of the control of
leishmaniosis in Brazil; it was seen that this will only be resolved if the various actors
involved creating debate forums for discussion, in which various segments of civil
society organizations and public institutions can dialectically express their ideas,
disagreements, compromises and challenges about possible solutions for the clash,
searching for a better dialogue, leading to practices based on scientific evidence
rather than mere electioneering policies and actions.
