Recognizing animals as subjects of law is an international debate. Ecuador placed the issue in its 2008 Constitution, from which legal norms emerge, seeking to comply with it. An effective teaching of the legality that supports animal protection is essential to make it a reality. Therefore, the objective of the research is: to identify the existing limitations for the effective teaching of the legal framework around animal welfare in Ecuador. Theoretical and empirical methods were used, the Wilcoxon test and the Vikor method. As a result, it was obtained that the majority of the interviewees do not perceive the solidity of the legal framework that supports animal welfare and do not find the equivalence of the measures taken adequate, in relation to the acts committed against animals. Difficulties that limit the effective teaching of the legal framework around animal welfare were identified. The Wilcoxon test showed that there are no significant differences between the application of municipal ordinances and animal abuse. With the application of the Vikor method, the need to give greater weight to the mechanisms for animal protection among the subjects taught in the law degree was ranked as the main action.
