Biocídio e políticas criminais ambientais : Uma proposta educativa de medidas preventivas à crimes cometidos em cães e gatos em Sousa-PB.

Abstract

The guarantee of the rights of animals is constitutional and requires legal obedience, effective applicability and control of public policies that aim to break social paradigms through education. The research starts from the following problem: is the protection and defense of animal rights a topic of general knowledge in public and private schools in the municipality of Sousa-PB? The general objective of the research is to present the level of knowledge and participation of students from public and private schools in the municipality of Sousa on the subject of protection and defense against crimes committed against dogs, cats and other species of animals. It is necessary for society to be aware of the protection and defense of the rights of animals, even more of those that are in the care of human beings, such as dogs and cats. For the research, research methods of a qualitative nature, with an exploratory and descriptive objective and a bibliographical review can be used. The research used a semi-structured questionnaire with questions from multiple schools and a single discursive one, to be applied online and digitally with students from public and private schools in the municipality of Sousa, in Paraíba. As a result, it was observed that the fragility of the complaints, the underreporting of cases, due to the population's fear of denouncing criminals, implies the need to carry out policies to raise awareness in society. There is a need to intensify environmental criminal policies that contribute to defense agencies, the Public Ministry, the Legislature and the Judiciary in order to promote true justice to those who commit such criminal practices against dogs and cats – I liked the results, you can keep it them.
