Property rights are among the most important universally recognized rights, and they are regulated by Article 21 of the Constitution of Georgia. It should be noted that only legally acquired property is protected by Article 21 of the Constitution. The state's obligation is to protect property rights and ensure the unhindered use of property. The purpose of the legal system is to ensure the protection of universally recognized human rights and freedoms and the free development of each person. A person's free development is closely related to the realization of the property right. The goal of legal institutions is to protect universally recognized human rights and freedoms and the free development of all individuals. The right of ownership, despite its absolute nature, is not unlimited. Still, the owner is bound by several aspects in the process of using the property due to the protection of the interests of other persons. One of the high-risk items is an animal eligible for registration. Although there is no unified position regarding the legal status of an animal, in practice, the legal status of an animal is equated to that of a thing. Since the animal does not fully meet the signs of a thing, and a different approach is established in relation to certain issues, it is appropriate to analyze the exemptions of the animal's legal status and identify the specifics related to the recognition of the animal as a thing. Since the animal does not fully satisfy the features of the thing, and a different approach is established with respect to some issues, it is advisable to analyze the exceptions to the animal's legal status and identify the specifics associated with the recognition of the animal as a thing.
