Abstract

The Animal Law Reading Club aims to provide a forum for exploring and reflecting on the various ethical and legal dimensions of animal law through specialized literature addressing this issue. Its purpose is to foster constructive dialogue that contributes to raising awareness about the importance of legally protecting all animals. This chronicle presents the four sessions of the club and their outcomes. During these sessions, the following works were analyzed: “Towards a Theory of Legal Animal Rights: Simple and Fundamental Rights” by Saskia Stucki, published in 2020 in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies; “Animal. A Biojuridical Approach” by Marita Giménez-Candela, published in 2023 in Revista DALPS (Animal Law-Animal Legal and Policy Studies); “Can Animals Have Rights If They Cannot Incur Obligations? Animal Subjects and Citizens” by Silvina Pezzetta, published in 2023 in Mutatis Mutandis: International Journal of Philosophy; and “Plant Sentience? Between Romanticism and Denial: Science” by Miguel Segundo-Ortin and Paco Calvo, published in 2023 in Animal Sentience.
