Abstract

Cilj rada jest prikazati rješenja kojima bi se zaštita životinja u Hrvatskoj podigla na razinu višu od postojeće, u svrhu promjene pravnog tretmana životinja kao objekata. Naime, radi se o živim bićima koja imaju vrijednost po sebi, a ne isključivo kao stvari koje služe zadovoljenju egzistencijalnih i drugih ljudskih potreba. Izložena je promjenjivost poimanja pravnog subjektiviteta tijekom povijesti i problematiziran status životinja kao objekata u hrvatskom zakonodavstvu i odabranim komparativnim sustavima koji su, u određenoj mjeri, izdvojili životinje iz stvarnopravnog režima. Također, predstavljeni su primjeri sudskih procesa u kojima su problematizirane posljedice nedostatka pravne osobnosti životinja. Nadalje, iznesene su pretpostavke procesne zaštite životinja u sudskom postupku, s naglaskom na pravnom interesu ljudi za zaštitu životinja kao dijela prirode i čovjekova okoliša, koji su najviša vrednota ustavnog poretka. Analizirana je procesna legitimacija putem zakonskih zastupnika i pravobranitelja za životinje. Zaključno, istraženi su mehanizmi sudske zaštite životinja u komparativnim pravnim sustavima kroz institut pravobranitelja za životinje i zastupnika životinja u sudskim postupcima kao koristan putokaz pri ostvarenju potencijala Hrvatske u domeni zaštite životinja.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper is to present solutions that would improve the protection of animals in Croatia, for the purpose of changing the legal treatment of animals as objects. Animals are living beings having value as themselves, and not exclusively as things satisfying existential and other human needs. Different understanding of legal subjectivity throughout history is shown and legal status of animals as objects in Croatian legislation, along with selected comparative systems, partially separating animals from the property law regime, is also presented. Furthermore, samples of lawsuits are exhibited, in which consequences of lacking legal subjectivity of animals are problematized. Assumptions of procedural protection of animals in court proceedings are presented, with emphasis on the legal interest of people in protection of animals as part of nature and human environment, which are the greatest value of the constitutional order. Procedural legitimacy through legal representatives and animal ombudsman were analyzed. In conclusion, the mechanisms of judicial protection of animals in comparative legal systems through the institute of animal ombudsman and animal representatives in court proceedings were investigated as useful guide towards realization of potentials of Croatia in the field of animal protection.
