Abstract

Despite the great advances made in the harvest environment, the legal protection of animals is still ineffective and needs concrete protection. The use of these living beings for various human purposes, without any concern regarding your well being, causes a mobilization of some jurists who observe the need to protect animal rights, as a way of effecting the existing standards. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to observe the legal protection of animals, mainly in the parental right. We analyzed the ability of animals to acquire legal personality or not. For this purpose, the methodology used was to research by the method of hypothetical-deductive approach, the method of procedure was the historical and comparative research technique employed was the documents and literature. Brazilian Federal Constitution in its article. 225, states that we have the right to a healthy environment and healthy, and the application of that law is only possible when all components are respected to preserve the environment. The main results obtained in the study were: the observation that there are two antagonistic currents that underlie the rights of animals, which are anthropocentrism and welfarism, the Brazilian and international legislation is vast when it comes to animal rights, there are several standards to protect the animals, however, abuses still occur frequently, the reasonableness and proportionality must be present in uproar existing animal law, environmental education is a way to carry and protect the legal protection of animals. Only with a new look and ecocentric ethical, will it be possible to act so that the defense and promotion of animal welfare is achieved.
