GOMES-DA-ROCHA, Jailson-José. Working animals: Ethical and legal implications. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2019, n.45, pp.213-230. ISSN 1886-5887.

The precariousness of animal life in the world of work is often seen as dissociated from legally relevant relationships for the formation of the arsenal of protection of fundamental rights. From the re-signification of the spaces of work, I analysed the relations established between animality and humanity. In this way, I assumed the existence of spaces of intersection between Animal Law, Animal Bioethics and Labour Law. I concluded that is necessary to reflect on the intersection of the juridicization of animal interests and issues related to Labour Law since there is a lack of theorization about the interconnections of the objects of protection of the legal norms of these specific fields.

Keywords : work; speciesism; animal rights; animal ethics; abolitionism; welfarism.
