Desarrollo de la noción de los animales y su interacción con el ser humano, a partir de un aspecto filosófico, y desde el ámbito cultural y jurídico en Colombia

Abstract

The human being and his relationship with the animals has been a transcendental issue throughout human history which undoubtedly promotes various positions in understanding the existence of other living beings and dealing with them, as well as the transition that the human being has had in terms of the use of animals for purposes that benefit them, to the point of legally regulating acts that degrade or mistreat a sentient being such as an animal, which is why the following research question arises : How has the notion of animals and their interaction with humans been developed, from a philosophical perspective, and from the cultural and legal field in Colombia? This is a qualitative research, with a socio-legal approach and of a descriptive nature, which leads to a broad analysis of the subject under analysis, from a cultural and legal point of view, including national and international legislation to understand the importance of protecting and granting possible rights to animals, so that their well-being and integrity can be guaranteed, accepting that the animal is primordial for humans and nature, for this reason the notion that humans have had towards these living beings has been changing, making it evident that their protection it depends not only on the creation of government policies, but also on the recognition and value that each individual gives it.
