Spain has take a giant step in animal welfare.

Spain updated its Civil Code (Law 17/2021, in force since January 5, 2022) so pets are treated as sentient beings, not just property.

That means courts must consider an animal’s welfare in disputes like divorce or separation, including who should keep the pet or how care is shared.

The reform also limits treating pets like ordinary assets, for example in certain enforcement actions. It’s a legal move closer to how most people already see their animals: family.

I've entered to honor the memory of my little Beau. Winnings if any will go to animal charities, first and foremost The Humane Society of the US. Thanks so much, I appreciate it. ♥️
