Abstract

This paper aims to explore on how non-human animals are regulated in the Argentinian private law. The focus of this study is centered on civilian codes, considering their main role in the legal system. The objective is to establish the statute that is conferred to non-human animals and to inquire on its nuances though an analysis of the pertinent rules. The first section of the article focuses on the Civil Code written by Vélez Sarsfield, which ruled over the country between 1869 and 2015. In the second section the investigation points towards the recently sanctioned Civil and Commercial Code.
