Esta obra tiene como objetivo presentar un panorama integral y abarcador sobre el estado de la protección jurídico-política de los animales en Colombia. El Estado colombiano atraviesa por un periodo de transformación institucional y sociojurídica. El otrora difundido modelo de relación entre el ordenamiento jurídico y los animales como cosas o simples elementos del medio ambiente está siendo reevaluado y surge así todo un conjunto de problemáticas que han de ser abordadas a partir de nuevos enfoques y perspectivas. Este libro se centra en temas como el de delitos y contravenciones, el uso de animales para el consumo humano, la investigación y experimentación con animales, el uso de animales con fines securitarios, el desarrollo de políticas públicas y su interrelación con movimientos de la sociedad civil, primero desde un plano analítico y después contextualizado en distintas ciudades de Colombia.
