Abstract

In the following text I pose possible conditions to reconsider the concept of right and thus justify animal rights. With this I do not mean to develop a theory of rights, but simply to raise a framework of review of the concept. To this end I will follow four steps: 1) mention some current problems of rights. 2) criticism of the hierarchical classification of capabilities. 3) criticism of the vision of animals as property. 4) justification of the need to raise animal rights starting from a different theory of rights.
