Enriquecimento ambiental como princípio ético nas pesquisas com animais

Abstract: Animals used in experiments have reduced levels of welfare and are thus vulnerable to pain and suffering. Considering that environmental enrichment increases the quality of life of captive animals, we aimed to assess its scientific application regarding the promotion of animal welfare by recognizing the vulnerability of biological models. Documentary analysis and experimental tests were conducted, stating that despite this technique having been applied mainly in neuroscience studies, endorsing their feasibilit… Show more

“…Animal-based research stands out in this scenario, since there are other ethical issues in addition to the the already mentioned, such as implied suffering, indifference to standards of animal welfare (AW) and inevitable waste of life caused by lack of integrity in research [14][15][16][17][18] . The animal welfare pioneer instrument dates back to 1965 and refers to the Brambell Committee 16 .…”

“…Fischer et al 17 proposed environmental enrichment as a guideline for norms of ethical behaviour in order to increase animal welfare standards, which could generate benefits both for scientific development and for the quality of animal life and, above all, the social and ethical responsibility of the researcher.…”

“…A necessidade biológica humana de conviver com o natural (Wilson, 1984) não pode gerar sofrimento aos animais. Ao optar por manter o animal cativo, a instituição pública ou privada deve se comprometer em oferecer as melhores condições possíveis, inserindo a elevação do grau de BEA como um princípio ético, assim como defendido por Fischer et al (2016a) para pesquisadores que optam por utilizar animais como modelos experimentais. Contudo, questiona-se se é de fato possível promover essas condições para animais selvagens.…”

“…O EA proporciona alterações no ambiente físico ou social promovendo o aumento da complexidade e estimulando a flexibilidade comportamental inerente a ambientes dinâmicos, exacerbando comportamentos naturais típicos da espécie que repercutem em melhora significativa nos aspectos biológicos (Newberry, 1995). Consequentemente, o EA pode ser considerado como um parâmetro ético para manutenção de animais cativos, assim como constatado para o uso de animais na experimentação (Fischer et al, 2016a).…”
