In several of these countries, legislation has established a clearer legal regime that recognizes the fundamental rights and well-being of animals within the framework of “responsible ownership” in families and seeks to overcome the practice of speciesism. Methodologically, the study combines critical animal studies with a sociological analysis of power inspired by Foucauldian biopolitics. Through legal and technical analysis, comparative methods, and the doctrinal perspectives of Ibero-American and North American legal scholars, the article conceptualizes key categories and explores proposed solutions in the field of animal rights protection. A separate section of the article focuses on the status of pets within the “multi-species family”, analyzing this both as a legal concept and as an emerging sub-institution in the legislation of several Latin American countries. Using Brazil as a specific example, the article examines recent legislative innovations regarding the rights of domestic animals and the judicial interpretation of their status within the context of the “multi-species family”.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Цель статьи - сравнительное исследование этико-правовых и культурологических основ регламентации отношений людей с домашними животными в контексте укрепления традиционной ценности гармоничной семьи в странах Латинской Америки. В целом ряде из них законодательно закрепляется более четкий правовой режим, предполагающий учет основных прав животных и их благополучие в рамках «ответственного владения» в семьях и преодоления практики «видового спесишизма». Методологически исследование построено на сочетании критических исследований теории прав животных ( critical animal studies ) и социологического анализа власти с фукоистскими корнями (концепт биополитики). Используя юридико-технический анализ, приемы компаративистики и доктринальные концепции ибероамериканских и североамериканских правоведов, авторы концептуализировали ключевые категории и предлагаемые решения в области защиты прав животных. Отдельная часть статьи посвящена положению домашних животных в составе «многовидовой семьи», которая проанализирована нами как правовая концепция и как новый субинститут законодательства в ряде стран Латинской Америки. На конкретном примере в Бразилии выявлены и проанализированы законодательные инновации о правах домашних животных и судебная интерпретация их статуса в «многовидовой семье».</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>fundamental animal rights</kwd><kwd>biopolitics</kwd><kwd>ius cosmopoliticum</kwd><kwd>non-human sentient animals</kwd><kwd>speciesism theory</kwd><kwd>animal protection</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>основные права животных</kwd><kwd>биополитика</kwd><kwd>ius cosmopoliticum</kwd><kwd>нечеловеческие животные</kwd><kwd>теория специальных видов</kwd><kwd>защита животных</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Nussbaum, M. &amp; Sunstein, C.
