ABRIGO E BEM-ESTAR ANIMAL

Abstract

The general objective of this work is to propose the draft of a shelter for abandoned domestic animals in the city of Alfenas-MG, aiming to promote the creation of a service that the city needs. Problems related to abandonment and mistreatment go beyond the boundaries of animal suffering and cruelty, as they generate a sequence of negative issues related to public health, overcrowding control and urban accidents. The Brazilian legislation through statutes, laws and resolutions, in a legal attempt to minimize the inadequate and cruel treatment given to humans by animals, protects them from abuse. Although the State is entitled to punish crimes of animal maltreatment, the prospect of a society-wide environmental education is the best alternative in resolving such animal conflicts in order to bring them to a minimum. dignity of existence. The main objectives of this project are to understand the specific needs in the treatment and shelter of dogs and cats seeking formal references for the proposed building, through the bibliographic and project review.
