Animal ethics in dialogue with recent reforms in the legislation of Latin-American countries

Abstract

The aim of this article consists in constructing a dialog between the field of the animal ethics and regulations that, recently, have recognized the nature as a legal entity in constitutional or legal level in some countries of Latin America. With this purpose we propose, from a corpus of documentary integrated by a set of regulations, to explore the processes of translation and to recreate the heterogeneous ethical perspectives that inspired the contemporary regulation on non human animals. Finally, we focus in the construction of questions and reflections that allow building a dialog between the animal ethics, the recognition of nature as la legal entity and the challenges that it involves in juridical and institutional fields.
