Abstract
This paper seeks to analyze the issue of animal protection, as well as some theories that explain this protection. After all, is it necessary to assign personality to animals for protection? Which animals should be protected? Can the paradigm be other than the anthropocentric? Can the theory of non-maleficence be applied in choosing which aniÂmals to protect? From the review of some basic concepts of civil law, such as subject of rights, right capacity, personality and subjective right, we seek to position ourselves in front of this issue. Theories, as of the subjects of rights without personality and ideas of personificaÂtion of the animals were covered by this study. At the end, we stand ahead to the issues raised and the reasons why we affiliate to the one stream rather than to the other.
