Resumo

The recent modification of the Portuguese Civil Code, operated by Law nº 8/2017, was the result of a long, persistent and growing social demand for an adequate legal treatment for animals, through several popular petitions to organs of sovereignty, with special emphasis on the last decade. In this article I propose to analyze the social and parliamentary process that allowed the historical legal change to the status of animals in the Portuguese civil code, in order to be replicated in other latitudes, adapting legal dogmatics to natural and social reality. Question, this, which is of justice.
