BRAMBILLA e CASTIELLO: "Introduzione dell'articolo 2911-bis del codice civile, concernente il divieto del pignoramento degli animali domestici" (798)

This legislative proposal seeks to amend the Italian Civil Code by introducing Article 2911-bis. The goal is to prohibit the seizure of domestic animals as a means of debt recovery, recognizing that pets have a special emotional bond with their owners that outweighs their value as financial assets. This change primarily affects creditors and debt collection agencies, who would no longer be able to seize pets to satisfy legal claims. Pet owners would gain legal protection ensuring their animals remain in their care regardless of financial disputes.
