Vaquejada, Animal Cruelty, Cultural HeritageAbstract
The article analyzes the judgment of ADI 5,728/DF, in which the STF validated EC 96/2017, allowing the practice of vaquejada as a cultural manifestation. It explores the legislative chronology following the ADI 4,983 decision (backlash effect) and the Court's application of the theory of institutional dialogues to reconcile environmental protection and the duty to care for fauna with the right to cultural expression.
