Abstract(s)
Os abusos perpetrados sobre animais são uma das práticas mais antigas da humanidade. Apesar de fazerem parte da vida do homem desde sempre, este não tem sabido emprestar à sua relação com os animais a dignidade merecida, exercendo violência ou desfazendo-se deles de forma fria e cruel.
Em 2014, os maus tratos e o abandono de animais de companhia passaram a ser considerados crime em Portugal. Mas este passo veio a revelar-se tímido e muito incompleto, não só porque apenas englobou uma pequena parte dos animais, mas também porque muitas questões, a montante e a jusante do problema, ficaram por abordar.
Assim, o que parecia um salto evolucional qualitativo na nossa sociedade serviu, essencialmente, para nos relembrar que não estamos ainda preparados para lidar com a questão dos animais de forma competente e integrada, envolvendo todas as entidades com responsabilidades.
A Polícia de Segurança Pública, enquanto ator central nesta matéria, tem vindo a melhorar nas várias fases da sua intervenção, desde o recebimento das denúncias, passando pela averiguação no terreno, gestão do local do crime e investigação criminal. No entanto, são ainda (boas) práticas demasiado isoladas e dispersas, que cumpre sistematizar, enriquecer e disseminar a nível nacional.
Abuse perpetrated on animals are one of mankind’s oldest practices. Despite being part of man’s life since always, he has not been able to give his relationship with animals the deserved dignity, exercising violence or getting rid of them in a cold and cruel way. In 2014, pet animal abuse and abandonment became a crime in Portugal. But this step revealed itself shy and very incomplete, not only because it only included a small part of animals, but also because many issues, upstream and downstream the problem, were not addressed. Therefore, what seemed to be a quality evolutionary leap in our society served, essentially, to remind us that we are not yet prepared to deal with the animal issue in a competent and integrated way, involving every authority with responsibilities. Polícia de Segurança Pública, as a central actor in this matter, has been improving in the several stages of its intervention, from receiving complaints, through ground check, crime scene management and criminal investigation. However, these are still too isolated and dispersed (good) practices, in need of systematize, enrich and disseminate nationwide.
