Bienestar animal: revisión bibliográfica y reflexiones acerca del bienestar de reptiles en cautiverio

Abstract

RESUMEN El Bienestar Animal incluye una relación armoniosa del animal con el medio, donde los estados físicos y psicológicos del animal juegan un papel primordial. La más racional contribución para entender el concepto de Bienestar Animal proviene de las llamadas “Cinco libertades” para el bienestar de los animales. Dado lo reciente de su concepción científica, los estudios no son abundantes pero sí prometedores. El campo de investigaciones científicas que se abre es amplio, más cuando se plantea que debe aplicarse a toda la escala zoológica, lo que pone de relieve a la fauna silvestre como sujeto de investigación. En el caso de los reptiles, los estudios son de relevancia por su indomable comportamiento y por la producción de veneno. En los intentos por aprovechar la herpetofauna silvestre, ésta debe ser manejada en granjas de crianza, zoológicos, vivarios, o terrarios bajo los conceptos de Bienestar Animal. La falta de experiencias en estudios previos sobre el bienestar de reptiles restringe las acciones al no tener parámetros con los cuales comparar. En particular, es necesario que las investigaciones sobre serpientes consideren como tesis de trabajo la naturaleza del animal, su funcionamiento y sus sentimientos, contemplando métodos de fisiología, ecología, y psicología animal, pero también de ética en la relación humano-animal. Metodológicamente, una de las trabas para el avance de los estudios recae en las débiles hipótesis de trabajo que orienten el desarrollo de las investigaciones y la escasez de resultados con los cuales establecer comparaciones. ABSTRACT The concept of Animal Welfare includes the existence of a harmonic relationship between the animal and its environment, where the animal physical and psychological states play an important role. The most rationale contribution to the understanding of the Animal Welfare concept comes from the so-called “Five Freedoms for Animals”. Due to its recent scientific conception, studies in the field are not very abundant but promising. Therefore, the field of scientific research that this concept opens is wide, and it is envisage to apply to the entire zoological scale, which highlights wildlife as a research subject in animal welfare. On the issue of herpetology, and particularly in the case of reptiles and snakes, studies are relevant due to their indomitable behavior and for their importance as a source of venom. If attempts are to take advantage by using the reptile fauna, animals should be managed under the concepts of Animal Welfare. The lack of experiences restricts the actions, having few parameters and results to compare. In particular for snake investigations, it is necessary to consider as a working thesis the nature of the animal, its functioning and its feelings. The studies on Animal Welfare open up to an underworked scientific activity, where physiological, ecological and psychological methods are to be used, considering the ethics of the human-animal relation. Methodologically, impediment to the advancement of these kind of studies lies in the weak elaboration of working hypotheses, and the absence of previous experiences.
