That's right. The Spanish Congress unanimously approved the proposal of the PP law for animals to move from being objects to be treated as living beings and to have rights. To this end, the Civil Code and the Mortgage and Civil Procedures Act will have to be amended. According to the PP, “it is paradoxical that since 2003 the Penal Code differentiates damage to animal things, but that the Civil Code does not recognize that animals are sentient living beings”.

The animalist sectors are happy to see whether this “sensitivity” leads Congress to ban, for example, bullfights in which blood spills to death. Sensitivity to animals, on the other hand, should be reflected in the concern for other living beings that make up our society. There are the millions of unemployed, tens of thousands of workers who do not reach the minimum wage of 707 euros, pensioners and widows who charge little more than 408 euros and who have to survive with an increase of 0.25% a year, tens of thousands of immigrants, slums and shelters, walls that do not allow people to move freely, a shameful inequality between women and men who are in wages and many other areas of society.

Are these people “sensitive” objects or beings? If these are also subjects with rights, they need other government policies to adequately meet their needs. From being an object to being a person.
