Abstract

With the advent of the Federal Constitution of 1988, Animal Law was consolidated in Brazil. Gradually, we can see the growth of Animal Law, which has occurred mainly through its normative sources. However, in spite of the fact that article 225, paragraph 1, item VII of the Federal Constitution prohibits bloody practices against animals, there is still no federal law that considers them as subjects of rights. In view of this, state and municipal laws have disciplined Animal Rights. In this context, this research presents the following question: Are the normative sources of Animal Law, which are essentially municipal and state, sufficient to achieve the strengthening of cooperative federalism? To this end, the research used the deductive approach method and the comparative method as a procedure. In the end, it was identified that state and municipal animalist laws have strengthened cooperative federalism, contributing to the decentralization of legislative power; However, as they are very recent, they are not yet the main basis for lawsuits that deal with animal rights.
