Abstract
The farra do boi, as become known the traditional practice of some fishing communities on Santa Catarina coast, which is currently banned by justice on the grounds of animal abuse, is a propitious case to observe the contrasts between different legal sensibilities, as well as the profound differences between the anthropological making and the work of the judges. For this, the article seeks to be based on notions that accompany the modern formation of Western thought, such as the dualistic classification between barbarian and civilized, nature and culture, rural and urban, reaching the Federal Constitution and its articles, that guarantee the protection of both culture and environment.
