A (In)visibilidade dos (in)dignos: uma análise sobre a guarda responsável como solução para erradicar o abandono animal

Abstract

Dogs and cats have gone through a long process of domestication. Studies show that these species coexist with humans since the emergence of the first sedentary human communities. The dogs were responsible for the defence of early humans and, mainly, by the aid at the time of the hunt. The cats were the main responsible for the maintenance of the first plantations of humans, time, eliminate the pests that attack crops. Currently these two species make up the largest family formation most households of Brazil. However, the rights of animals is a subject still little Treaty and known by people. The body of law that aims to protect this branch of law is scarce and poorly applied. Although the constitutionalisation of environmental law, there are no rules directed to the protection of domestic animals. So the guardian disrespects the rights of these animals is irresponsible and simply leaves without receiving any punishment. The problem of animal abandonment is regarded as something invisible to the brazilian society. Despite the alarming amount of dogs and cats in street situation, the society and the public authorities remain inert in front of the problem. As a consequence, domestic animals remain being seen as objects to be discarded when you demonstrate a "defect". Although, the situation is complex, this paper seeks to demonstrate that through the effective State action coupled with regulations of the responsible guards can reverse the current scenario. Only through the normative regulations of the guard responsible and education directed to environmental protection the dignity of animals will be guaranteed.
