A importância da guarda responsável de gatos domésticos: aspectos práticos e conexões com o bem-estar animal

Abstract: A permissão do livre acesso à rua e outros ambientes externos aos gatos domésticos (Felis silvestris catus) por seus tutores pode gerar muitos problemas. Os transtornos causados pela presença destes animais vão desde sérios impactos à fauna local das regiões com populações de gatos ferais e semi-domiciliados, até a disseminação de doenças graves. Gatos que não possuem áreas de vida delimitadas por seus tutores estão susceptíveis a sofrerem maus-tratos, contrair e disseminar patógenos e parasitos, sendo muitas … Show more

“…In turn, whereas an extensive management style should present some benefits by stimulating natural behaviors, it also might impose risks if the care practices and necessity of protection are not considered. Cats that stay outdoors without owner oversight are more exposed to several potentially lethal conditions, e.g., motor vehicle accidents, mistreatment, fights with conspecifics, and dog attacks [11,12,14,16,43,69]. The close versus extensive management are examples of extremes and many owners may be in an intermediate part of this continuum.…”

“…It is expected that both management styles impose some risks and benefits [4]. For instance, risks related to outdoor cats include propagation of infectious diseases [11][12][13], unwanted pregnancies [4], motor vehicle accidents [14,15], fights with conspecifics [4], and mistreatment by people who do not like cats [16]. Outdoor cats might also impact the welfare of other animals, as wildlife due to predation [17,18], and niche overlap with wild carnivores [19].…”

“…From a deontological standpoint, routine desexing is ethically problematic because it infringes on an animal's right to bodily integrity-especially as it cannot be voluntarily relinquished [56]. The consensus for desexing as a responsible ownership practice in many of the surveyed nations may indicate the success of education in promoting its efficacy to control population growth [14] or its value in managing unwanted behaviour [57] and disease [58]. However, it is likely that support for desexing could vary with greater access to more opinions from different regions where deontological consideration may predominate (for example, other areas of Asia or southern Europe).…”

“…Segundo o autor, o potencial do gato como transmissor de zoonoses, especialmente a raiva, já deve ser considerado em estratégias preventivas. Machado et al (2019) alertaram que o manejo de gatos pode comprometer o BEA em animais com acesso restrito ou irrestrito a ambientes externos. Se por um lado, confinar o animal em ambientes limitados, monótonos podem desencadear problemas comportamentais como medo, ansiedade, sedentarismo, agressividade e obesidade, animais que têm acesso à rua estão expostos à acidentes, injúrias, maus-tratos e contato com patógenos.…”
