ABSTRACT

O Brasil enfrenta atualmente dificuldades no combatea leishmaniose visceral humana.De acordo a Organização Mundial da Saúde, a eutanásia dos cães sintomáticos e soropositivos é uma das medidas de controle do agravo, conforme decreto vigente 51.838, de 14 de março de 1963, o que se torna importantediscutir o diálogo entre Saúde e Direito como estratégia para se evitar a expansão da doença, devido à resistência dos proprietários em entregar seus cães, com alto valor afetivo, a zoonoses. Conclui-se que para uma política pública efetiva vários elementos devem levados em consideração, sobretudo a interdisciplinaridade, enfatizando reflexões jurídicas e saúde, envolvendo questões que permeiam as relações humanas no contexto da ética e da legislação (AU)


Brazil currently faces difficulties in combating human visceral leishmaniasis. According to the World Health Organization, euthanasia of symptomatic and seropositive dogs is one of injury control measures, according to current Decree 51838 of March 14, 1963, which becomes important to discuss the dialogue between health and law as a strategy to prevent the spread of the disease, due to the owners ' resistance to deliver their dogs with high emotional value, zoonoses. It is concluded that for effective public policy more elements are taken into consideration, especially interdisciplinary, emphasizing legal and health considerations involving issues that permeate the human relationships in the context of ethics and law (AU)

ABSTRACT

A leishmaniose visceral é uma zoonose transmitida por vetor, de importância mundial, que envolve os cães como reservatórios. A "eliminação dos reservatórios" está prevista expressamente como medida de controle no Manual de Vigilância e Controle da Leishmaniose Visceral elaborado pela Secretaria de Vigilância em Saúde, órgão do Ministério da Saúde. Contudo, a eliminação de cães soropositivos no Brasil, usada para controlar a leishmaniose visceral, tem sido pouco efetiva. Este trabalho levanta questionamentos sobre esse instrumento de política nacional de saúde pública com base em evidências científicas atuais e análises do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, realizadas a partir do princípio da precaução e do reconhecimento dos animais como seres sencientes. Conclui-se pela imediata suspensão e revisão da prática de extermínio animal em um Estado Constitucional de Direito, e a adoção de métodos preventivos e mais eficazes que garantam a saúde pública sem proporcionar elevados custos emocionais aos proprietários de cães e financeiros aos cofres públicos.


Visceral leishmaniasis is a zoonotic disease trans mitted by a vector of global importance, which involves dogs as reservoirs. The "elimination of reservoirs" is specifically determined as a control measure in the Manual de Vigilância e Controle de Leishmaniose Visceral [Manual of Surveillance and Control of Visceral Leishmaniasis] published by the Department of Health Surveillance of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. However, the elimination of seropositive dogs in Brazil, used to control visceral leishmaniasis, has been ineffective. This paper rais es questions about this national public health policy instrument based on current scientific evidence and analysis of the Brazilian law, held from the precau tionary principle and the recognition of animals as sentient beings. It concludes that an immediate suspension and a review of animal extermination practice in the Brazilian Constitutional Rule of Law is needed and the adoption of preventive and more effective methods to ensure public health without providing either emotional costs to dog owners nor burdening the public budget.

ABSTRACT

Recently, considerable international attention has been paid to the problem of unwanted horses. In Ireland, stray horses, particularly in urban areas, are a further problem. The Control of Horses Act 1996 was enacted in response to an ongoing problem of uncontrolled horses in public places. As yet, no research work has been conducted focusing on stray horses in Ireland. This paper describes horses impounded under the Act in the Munster region of Ireland during 2005-2012 and the factors influencing decisions regarding their disposal. A logistic regression model was developed to investigate factors influencing the probability that a horse was euthanised during impoundment. In total, 3625 seizure events were recorded, most towards the end of the study period. Predictors for euthanasia during 2010-2012 included seizure location, sex, age, colour, body condition score and year. This study highlights the problem of stray horses in Ireland, particularly in urban areas. There is a need for rigorous enforcement of newly enacted horse identification legislation, allowing a fully integrated traceability system. More is required to manage the long-established societal problems of stray horses in urban settings, with a uniform approach by all Local Authorities being long overdue.

ABSTRACT

Apesar do recolhimento de cães em via pública, domicílios ou do acolhimento pelos Centros de Controle de Zoonoses ser uma prática adotada que não controla a população canina, é uma atividade considerada medida primária e complementar de controle de zoonoses. O excedente populacional canino, além de sua importância na cadeia de transmissão de diversas doenças, representa também problemas em decorrência das agressões, acidentes de trânsito e impactos ambientais. Considerando a falta de informações sobre a dinâmica do destino de cães em canis após a Lei Estadual número 12.916/08 (dispõe sobre o controle da reprodução de cães e dá providências correlatas), o presente trabalho objetivou analisar o destino dos cães recolhidos pela Prefeitura Municipal de Botucatu e transportados ao Canil Municipal e também os doados pela população, comparativamente antes e depois da implementação da Lei. Foram analisadas 4038 fichas de entrada de cães do Canil, as quais foram armazenadas no banco de dados gerados pela planilha EXCEL e analisados por meio de Censo. Antes da Lei, eram eutanasiados 2193 (70%) cães e após, 639 (69%), percentualmente os valores são similares, entretanto, há uma diferença de 1557 cães eutanasiados. Esta diferença pode ser explicada pelos cuidados médicos veterinários oferecidos aos cães recolhidos, após a Lei, para posterior adoção, uma vez que antes a única medida adotada era a eutanásia. Os resultados permitiram concluir que a Lei impôs mudanças nos procedimentos no Canil, principalmente a diminuição do número de eutanásias realizadas, consequentemente aumentou a permanência desses animais. Também os motivos predominantes para o recolhimento dos cães.


Despite the gathering of dogs on public streets, homes and by the Centers for Zoonoses Control is a practice adopted that does not control the dog population, it is an activity considered as primary and supplementary of the zoonoses control. The canine surplus population, besides the important role in the chain of transmission of various diseases, is also due to problems of aggressions, traffic accidents and environmental impacts. Considering the lack of information on the dynamics destination of dogs in kennels after the State Law number 12.916/08 (provides for the control of dog reproduction and gives related provisions), the present study aimed to analyze the destination of dogs gathered by the Municipality Botucatu and transported to the Municipal Kennel and also donated by the population comparison before and after the implementation of the Law. Were analyzed 4038 input records of the dogs of the kennel, which were stored in the database generated by EXCEL spreadsheet and analyzed through Census. Before the Law, were euthanized 2193 (70%) and after 639 dogs (69%), percentage terms values are similar, however, there is a difference of 1557 dogs euthanized. This difference can be explained by the veterinary medical care offered to dogs gathered after the Law, for subsequent adoption. Since before the only measure taken was euthanasia. The results concluded that the law imposes considerable changes in behaviors and procedures performed in the kennel, especially the decrease in the number of euthanized dogs and the adoption of more selective criteria for the gathering of dogs on public roads.


A pesar de la recogida de perros en las calles, domicilios y la acogida por el Centro de Control de Zoonosis no ser una práctica adoptada para controlar la población de perros, es una actividad que se considera medida primaria y complementaria para controlar las zoonosis. El exceso de población canina, y su importancia en la cadena transmisión de diversas enfermedades también representa problemas como consecuencia de las agresiones, accidentes de tránsito e impactos ambientales. Teniendo en cuenta la falta de información sobre la dinámica del destino de los perros en las perreras después de la Ley del Estado número 12.916/08 (que dispone sobre control de reproducción canina y disposiciones conexas), el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar el destino de los perros de la Intendencia Municipal de Botucatu y transportados a la perrera Municipal, y también los donados por la población en comparación anterior y posterior a la implementación de la ley. Fueron analizadas 4038 fichas de entrada de perros en la perrera, las cuales se almacenaron en la base de datos generada en EXCEL y analizadas mediante Censo. Antes de la ley, fueron sacrificados 2193 (70%) perros y después de la ley, 639 (69%); los valores porcentuales son similares, sin embargo, hay una diferencia de 1.557 perros eutanasiados. Esta diferencia se explica por la atención médica veterinaria que se ofrece a los perros recogidos después de la ley para su posterior adopción, una vez que antes la única medida tomada era la eutanasia. Los resultados concluyeron que la ley impuso cambios en los procedimientos en la perrera, principalmente para reducir el número de perros eutanasiados, como consecuencia, se incrementó la permanencia de estos animales. También las razones predominantes para la recogida de los perros de las calles son los que tenían algún tipo de riesgo para la población.

ABSTRACT

The combination of the killing of a pet and a suicide is a perplexing scenario that is largely unexplored in the literature. Many forensic psychiatrists and psychologists may be unaccustomed to considering the significance of the killing of a pet. The subject is important, however, because many people regard their pets as members of their family. A case is presented of a woman who killed her pet dog and herself by carbon monoxide poisoning. The purpose of this article is to provide an initial exploration of the topic of extended suicide with a pet. Forensic mental health evaluations may have a role in understanding the etiology of this event and in opining as to the culpability of individuals who attempt to or successfully kill a pet and then commit suicide. Because the scientific literature is lacking, there is a need to understand this act from a variety of perspectives. First, a social and anthropological perspective will be presented that summarizes the history of the practice of killing of one's pet, with a focus on the ancient Egyptians. A clinical context will examine what relationship animals have to mental illness. A vast body of existing scientific data showing the relevance of human attachment to pets suggests that conclusions from the phenomena of homicide-suicide and filicide-suicide are applicable to extended suicide with a pet. Finally, recommendations will be proposed for both clinical and forensic psychiatrists faced with similar cases.

ABSTRACT

An overview of the current European legislation concerning animal welfare is given. The legal requirements concern the housing and care of production animals (poultry, calves and swine), the transport of animals and the killing of animals (not only in slaughterhouses, but also in case of contagious animal disease outbreaks). General information concerning the principles and contents of European pieces of legislation as well as detailed information concerning requirements for individual animal species is given. Furthermore, other elements concerning animal welfare such as castration of piglets, ritual slaughter and animals used for experimental purposes are also reviewed. Finally, some recent initiatives in the field of animal welfare are mentioned and useful links are provided for finding the various legislative acts and additional supportive information.
