DAROS, William R. Do Non-human Animals Have Natural Rights?. Enfoques [online]. 2019, vol.31, n.2, pp.87-120. ISSN 1669-2721.

The question is here about human desires that are presented as natural rights and tried to be presented in national legislations. This issue is particularly important because of the confusion and anthropomorphic projection that entails between the duties of humans and the alleged existence of rights in animals. The five main and current positions on animal rights are presented. It is then passed to analyze the notions of right and duty, then distinguishes the subject of duty and the subject of the right. The position of Gustavo Ortiz Millán on the rights of animals, and on the quality of being a person according to Daniel Dennett is analyzed and criticized. It concludes by reaffirming the remarkable distinction between owning (natural rights) and attributing (positive) rights that unfortunately are not clarified in the Universal Declaration of Animal Rights approved by UNESCO and the UN.

Palavras-chave : Right; Duty; Anthropomorphic projection; People; Animals.
