On the 14th February 2017 the process of reforming the legal status of animals in the Civil Code began in the Spanish Parliament. This also included corresponding amendments in the Mortgage Law and in the Civil Procedure Rules, which aimed at changing the consideration of animals as living beings endowed with sensibility instead of as things. Before the formalities of approving the reform were completed, it was interrupted by the call for General Elections on the 28th April 2019, causing a halt to the necessary de-objectification of animals in the civil field and is now in a period of uncertainty and expectations for a reform that still remains necessary.
El 14 de febrero de 2017 se dio inició en el Parlamento español al proceso de reforma del estatuto jurídico de los animales en el CC, la Ley Hipotecaria y la Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil, destinada a transformar la condición de los animales de cosas a seres vivos dotados de sensibilidad. A falta de pocos trámites para su aprobación, la convocatoria de Elecciones Generales el 28 de abril de 2019, ha interrumpido esta necesaria Descosificación de los animales en el ámbito civil y ha abierto una etapa de incógnitas y de expectativas para una reforma que sigue siendo necesaria.
