Resumo: In most Brazilian municipalities there is an overpopulation of stray dogs, which causes problems tothe urban order, the environment and the public health, in addition to mistreatment to these dogs.In such context we foresee the need of developing actions targeting the population control of theseanimals. This essay aims at knowing the perception of social actors, such as managers of entitiesresponsible for control actions, managers of NGOs working with animal protection and population ingeneral with respect to the life quality and population control of stray dogs. Questionnaires were usedon samples of individuals of these three groups and the data thereof were analyzed with descriptivestatistics techniques and frequency comparison. The results allowed us to conclude that the society’sperception of population control and life quality of these animals bear important differences under theviewpoint of the three evaluated groups; however, they also bear significant similarities, especiallywith respect to the perception of the responsibility for the development of population control actions,the acceptance of using public funds intended to public health in control actions, the classification of such population density as large and the poor life quality of these animals.Keywords: population control; social perception; stray dog.

Nesse contexto, vislumbra-se a necessidade do desenvolvimento de ações de controlepopulacional desses animais. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi conhecer a percepção dos atoressociais, como gestores dos órgãos responsáveis pelas ações de controle, gestores de organizações nãogovernamentais de proteção animal e população em geral em relação à qualidade de vida e o controlepopulacional dos cães não domiciliados. Foram aplicados questionários estruturados a amostrasdesses três grupos e os dados foram trabalhados com técnicas de estatística descritiva e comparaçãode frequência. Os resultados permitiram concluir que a percepção da sociedade sobre o controlepopulacional e a qualidade de vida desses animais guardam importantes diferenças sob a ótica dostrês grupos avaliados, mas apresentam, também, semelhanças importantes, em especial no tocanteà percepção sobre a responsabilidade pelo desenvolvimento de ações de controle populacional, àaceitação da utilização de recursos públicos destinados à saúde pública nas ações de controle, àqualificação como grande a densidade populacional e à má qualidade de vida desses animais.Palavras-chave: cão não domiciliado; controle populacional; percepção social.Universidade Federal de Goiás2015-10-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDescriptive ResearchAvaliado por paresPesquisa seccional descritivaapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/3046810.1590/cab.v16i4.30468Brazilian Animal Science/ Ciência Animal Brasileira; Vol. 16 No. 4 (2015); 574-588Ciência Animal Brasileira / Brazilian Animal Science; v. 16 n. 4 (2015); 574-5881809-68911518-2797reponame:Ciência animal brasileira (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/30468/19466https://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/30468/19467Moutinho, Flavio Fernando Batistado Nascimento, Elmiro RosendoPaixão, Rita Lealinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2015-11-10T17:44:06Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/30468Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/vetPUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/oai||revistacab@gmail.com1809-68911518-2797opendoar:2024-05-21T19:56:05.592533Ciência animal brasileira (Online) - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)true
