According to which laws, exactly? My country has animal wellbeing laws that classify pets as companions and living beings, their legal status is explicitly above personal property.

Sentell v. New Orleans & Carrollton R.R. Co

1897 U.S. Supreme Court holding that dogs are personal property. This has since been the prevailing law throughout the U.S.
