El Covid-19 ha obligado a adoptar medidas con una incidencia directa en los derechos fundamentales de las personas y que han afectado al bienestar social de los ciudadanos, pero cabría preguntarse por los efectos de esta pandemia en los animales. A pesar de algunas medidas del poder ejecutivo, los animales han sido unos de los grandes olvidados. La descosificación de los animales sigue siendo un objetivo imprescindible en nuestro derecho. Los avances habidos en los últimos años en el campo del derecho penal son una esperanza, pero todavía queda un largo camino por recorrer.

This study seeks to highlight the main historical antecedents of the complex relationship between human beings and animals, bringing us closer towards the material sources that influenced the creation, transformation and / or derogation from different legal regulations that ultimately reduced animals to the realm of things and objects of law. Simplifying the study of the animal question, we will unravel the scarce but relevant bibliography in respect of this, from the various legal regulations of antiquity, through extravagant medieval trials, arriving at unpublished international treaties, constitutions, laws and ordinances that nowadays support the recognition of animal rights. This brief analysis presents varied philosophical, religious and cultural conceptions that allow us to involve ourselves in the wide debate on the main topics of Animal Law that have grown in popularity in recent decades, starting with the publishing of Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation in 1975, and of the initiative of the Universal Declaration of Animal Rights in 1977. Furthermore, we will quickly look over the advances in the recognition of animal dignity, analysing Article 20 of the German Constitution of 2002, the recognition of the Rights of Nature in the Ecuadorian Constitution of 2008 and the Bolivian Constitution of 2009, and the recognition of animals as sentient beings in the Columbian Civil Code of 2016, as well as Ecuadorian regulations on this topic.

A growing number of investigations indicate the concurrence of domestic violence and animal abuse. Family members who commit domestic violence often use threats and mistreatment of pets as a means of controlling their partners and children. Most of the investigations have been conducted in the United States of America. This paper presents the results obtained from a study carried out in Mexico. Collected data on 80 men and women belonging to domestic violence support groups in the city of Xalapa, Veracruz. Participants noted the presence of threats and acts of physical and/or psychological ill-treatment of their pets. 40% said their animal was beaten by the aggressor. 20% reported that concern for their pet’s well-being was an impediment to leaving the home they shared with the abuser. Fifteen percent indicated that their children observed animal abuse
