Starting from the associative justice’s framework, Laura Valentini seeks to extend the application of the principles of justice and fundamental rights in a mainly human society to non-human species, particularly to dogs. In the present work, I will show that (i) an extension such as that developed by Valentini does not necessarily have to be limited to the particular case of dogs, but can be applied to all domestic animals and (ii) that an adequate interpretation of associative justice must recognize that, to fulfill its objective, it requires above all and before everything else the protection of the material conditions that facilitate the existence of individuals and groups.
