Resumo: Vivisection, or the use of animals in experiments, testing or education is part of a context in which many people still think represent an emergency conflict that requires the choice of human interests rather than the interests of animals. In Brazil, the 1988 Federal Constitution, in Article 225, paragraph 1, item VII, prohibits the practice of cruelty to animals. To regulate the said device, was passed in 2008 the Law 11.794 / 2008, known as Arouca Law, establishing procedures for the scientific use of animals and the Law 9.605 / 2008, which deals with environmental crimes. However, according to Brazilian Constitution, is it possible to sustain the use of animals in teaching and research, especially in universities? The aim of this paper is to analyze the Brazilian legislation regarding the use of animals in testing, teaching and research, and to discuss the observation of this legislation during the lawsuits filled in recent years by animal advocacy organizations against several Brazilian universities. The results point to a disagreement between the practices prevailing in the universities, the legislation and the Brazilian Constitution.

La Constitución Federal Brasileña de 1988, en el artículo 225, párrafo 1, artículo VII, prohíbe la crueldad hacia los animales. Para regular el citado dispositivo, fue aprobada en 2008 la Ley 11.794 / 2008, conocida como Ley Arouca, que establece procedimientos para el uso científico de los animales, y la Ley 9.605 / 2008, que se ocupa de los delitos ambientales. Sin embargo, frente a lo que establece la Constitución, ¿es posible sustentar el uso de animales en la docencia y en la investigación, especialmente en las universidades? El propósito de este trabajo es analizar la legislación brasileña sobre el uso de animales en tests, en la docencia y en la investigación, y discutir la aplicación de la legislación citada en las demandas presentadas en los últimos años por las organizaciones de defensa de los animales contra varias universidades brasileñas. Los resultados indican un desacuerdo entre las prácticas que prevalecen en la universidad, la legislación y lo que dispone el texto constitucional. A vivissecção, ou o uso de animais em experimentos, testes ou educação faz parte de um contexto em que muitas pessoas ainda pensam representar um conflito de emergência que requer a escolha dos interesses humanos ao invés dos interesses dos animais. No Brasil, a Constituição Federal de 1988, em seu artigo 225, paragrafo 1°, inciso VII, veda a prática de crueldade com os animais. Para regulamentar o referido dispositivo, foi sancionada em 2008 a Lei 11.794/2008, conhecida como Lei Arouca, que estabelece procedimentos para o uso cientifico de animais e a Lei 9.605/2008, que versa sobre os crimes ambientais. Contudo, diante do que estabelece a Constituição é possível sustentar o uso de animais no ensino e na pesquisa, sobretudo nas universidades? O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar a legislação brasileira à respeito do uso de animais em testes, ensino e pesquisa e através das ações judiciais movidas nos últimos anos por entidades de defesa animal contra diversas universidades brasileiras discutir a aplicação da legislação referida, bem como demonstrar o embate jurídico e politico que o tema desperta. Os resultados apontam para um desacordo entre as práticas vigentes nas universidades, a legislação e o que dispõe o texto constitucional.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2015-07-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/interthesis/article/view/1807-1384.2015v12n1p6510.5007/1807-1384.2015v12n1p65Interdisciplinary International Journal - INTERthesis; Vol. 12 No. 1 (2015); 65-83Revista Internacional Interdisciplinaria INTERthesis; Vol. 12 Núm. 1 (2015); 65-83Revista Internacional Interdisciplinar INTERthesis; v. 12 n. 1 (2015); 65-831807-1384reponame:INTERthesisinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/interthesis/article/view/1807-1384.2015v12n1p65/29653Copyright (c) 2015 Revista Internacional Interdisciplinar INTERthesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFontoura de Medeiros, Fernanda LuizaAlbuquerque, Letícia2024-03-15T08:46:38Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/39205Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/interthesis/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/interthesis/oaiinterthesis@gmail.com||interthesis@cfh.ufsc.br||cimbalista@uol.com.br1807-13841807-1384opendoar:2024-03-15T08:46:38INTERthesis - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
