Animals - feeling beings or chattels?

The Code Civil in France treats domestic animals as chattels, not feeling beings. After a petition launched by 30 million amis, the animal rights movement, an amendment to the code was proposed in the Assembly yesterday (15th April) to change this. In practice this may make it easier for the SPA and private individuals to complaints about mistreatment of pets. (any chance bullfighting will be outlawed). Polls suggest 89% of French people are in favour.
