Questa tesi parte dall'analisi del rapporto tra uomo e animale affrontando il pensiero di alcuni studiosi, scrittori e filosofi che hanno generato delle riflessioni sulla considerazione degli animali come esseri senzienti (o meno) e la possibilità di concedere loro diritti e protezione contro gli abusi umani. Nel corso del tempo sia in Italia che in altri Stati Europei, le normative a favore degli animali sono state molteplici, evidenziando la crescente volontà sociale e istituzionale verso il benessere di tutte le specie. Una delle novità sviluppate in Italia è la creazione della figura del Garante degli Animali, persone autonoma e indipendente che lavora gratuitamente per salvaguardare gli animali ricevendo segnalazioni e collaborando con le autorità per garantire loro una vita libera e dignitosa. Di particolare rilievo sono le testimonianze di alcuni Garanti degli animali che operano in diversi territori italiani.

Abstract
This thesis starts from the analysis of the relationship between humans and animals by addressing the thought of some scholars, writers and philosophers who have generated reflections on the consideration of animals as sentient beings (or not) and the possibility of granting them rights and protection against human abuse. Over time, both in Italy and in other European states, the regulations in favor of animals have been multiple highlighting the growing social and institutional will towards a welfare of all species. One of the novelties developed in Italy is the creation of the figure of the Ombudsman of Animals, autonomous and independent person who works free to safeguard the animals, receiving reports and collaborating with the authorities to ensure that they live a free and dignified life. Of particular importance are the direct testimonies of some Ombudsmans of Animals that act in different italian territories.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
