Should pets inherit from their owners

While you view your pet as a furry person, the law sees him as a piece of personal property. Hence, this is the reason why pets cannot inherit in wills.
Or should we consider animals to be subjects of legal relations?
In our country animals are protected by the government. So we can talk about their rights.. Or are they just valuable objects that should be treated without violence? Why we have laws that protect their rights then? We have 3 laws written in Civil Code of the Russian Federation that regulate animals’ lives and Criminal Code where we see that animals are protected. Should animals have rights de juro?

Real Practice
There were a lot of cases when animals inherited fortunes. And this was legally approved by the court. Although many relatives of the testate impugn the court’s decision.

Some cases

it creates a tension in society, coz not the majority of elderly people do not approve such way of spending money

A lot of people are against the fact that inheritance can be given to animals
The legacy should belong only to people or government.
Only them know how to deal with it properly.
Money are for people.
It will benefit the society.

We should respect people s last will.
There is inf in our Constitution that individual rights are above all.
People who want their pets inherit their legacy are supposed to be lonely. We should symphathized them and give the the opportunity to do what they want.
