The goal of this work is focused on the presentation of the fundamental rights of animals, the legal regulation of these rights and ultimately the violation of these rights in various aspects of life. The increasing spread of speciesism (human discrimination against animals) has led to a great exploitation and abuse of animals, where the advocates of the protection of animal rights point out that such behavior is immoral and unjust nowadays. The protection of the rights and well-being of animals depends to a large extent on their behavior, and abnormal behaviors generally lead to the endangerment of their rights and well-being through punishment, abandonment or euthanasia by the owner. Timely recognition and correction of inadequate animal behavior leads to the establishment of a satisfactory coexistence between humans and animals. In order to ensure adequate protection of animal rights, and thus to improve the quality of their lives, it is primarily necessary to properly establish these rights, and then to include them in the national and international economy, which would greatly influence the change in people's attitudes and behavior regarding ( non-respect of animal rights. The use of animals for experimental, scientific, research and other purposes is ethically questionable and is limited and regulated by laws, norms, practice, alternative methods and the 3R model. Nowadays, animals are increasingly exposed to various forms of violence, abuse and neglect by humans, both in their everyday environment and through newspapers, the Internet and social networks. Therefore, it is important to provide animals with a beautiful and dignified life and to protect their fundamental rights.
