EL FALSO ANIMALISMO

En los últimos años hemos visto un aumento en el número de personas que se autodenominan “animalistas”. Sin embargo, ¿qué hay detrás de este término? ¿Es realmente un compromiso con la protección y defensa de los derechos de los animales o es simplemente un discurso vacío?

Lamentablemente, hay muchos individuos que se hacen llamar “animalistas”, pero que en realidad no tienen un compromiso real con la protección de los animales. Estos individuos pueden ser aquellos que promueven el veganismo como una moda sin profundizar en los verdaderos problemas que se generan, o aquellos que se apropian de la causa animal para beneficio propio. Incluso podemos encontrar personas que comparten imágenes en redes sociales pero luego compran productos de empresas que realizan pruebas en animales o que financian la explotación animal.

Incluso encontramos “animalistas” que han logrado escalar en la representación ciudadana, pero que en la propuesta y materialización de sus ideas, terminan vendiendo sus principios de protección y defensa buscando beneficiarse y crecer sus finanzas. En algunos casos negocian con las administraciones propuestas que carecen de soluciones de fondo con el compromiso de contratar directamente o mediante terceros su ejecución.

Es fundamental comprender que el compromiso real con la causa animal no se trata solo de evitar el consumo de carne, sino que va mucho más allá. Debe involucrar un cambio en la forma en que nos relacionamos con los animales y en cómo se trata a los mismos en nuestra sociedad.

Otro problema que se presenta es la falta de propuestas reales que solucionen de fondo los problemas de la protección animal. Muchos grupos, personas, cuidadores y organizaciones animalistas se enfocan en rescatar animales abandonados, enfermos y maltratados, lo cual es importante, pero no es suficiente. Incluso en nuestra ciudad, la administración se aprovechó de los cuidadores, dándoles responsabilidades que no les corresponden y dejándolos sin herramientas y omitiendo algún tipo de apoyo para poder hacer su voluntariado. En el nefasto decreto 200 de 2021, firmado por el alcalde Jairo Yáñez se dispone la ruta para la atención de animales de compañía en extrema vulnerabilidad en el municipio, la cual realmente no es una ruta, si no una orden de dejar a merced los animales atropellados y en malas condiciones de salud en las casas de los cuidadores, única y exclusivamente con una desparasitación como tratamiento médico.

Además, es fundamental mencionar que la sociedad en general juega un papel fundamental en la protección animal. Por ejemplo, el abandono de animales es un problema muy grave que fomenta la explotación y maltrato animal. Si bien es importante rescatar y dar hogar a estos animales, también es importante que la sociedad adopte una cultura de tenencia responsable de mascotas, que incluya esterilización y vacunación, y que promueva el respeto y el amor por los animales. Sin una tenencia responsable, seguirá el crecimiento exponencial de animales en condición de calle y seguirán funcionando los centros cómo zoonosis que seguirán sacrificando animales para reducir su número.

Es cierto que existen muchos comportamientos de los llamados “falsos animalistas” que pueden resultar perjudiciales para la protección y el bienestar animal. Por ejemplo:

Domesticación de animales salvajes: Una práctica común entre algunos “falsos animalistas” es la domesticación de animales salvajes, como las zarigüeyas, serpientes, micos, pericos etc. con el fin de mantenerlos como mascotas exóticas, o para hacer pedagogía contra la protección animal, lo cual es irresponsable y oportunista. Esto es peligroso tanto para los animales como para las personas, ya que estos animales no pueden perder su salvajismo y al perderle el miedo a los humanos, se vuelven vulnerables. No están adaptados a vivir en un entorno doméstico y pueden ser muy agresivos en algunos casos.

Instalación de comederos y bebederos públicos: Aunque puede parecer una buena idea, la instalación de comederos y bebederos públicos para animales puede ser contraproducente. Estos lugares pueden convertirse en focos de infección y enfermedad, ya que los animales pueden contagiarse unos a otros a través del agua y la comida.

Piscinas públicas para perros: Si bien puede parecer divertido, la instalación de piscinas públicas para perros también puede ser perjudicial para los animales. En primer lugar, el cloro y otros productos químicos utilizados para mantener el agua limpia pueden ser tóxicos para los perros. Además, las piscinas públicas para perros pueden ser un lugar donde se propague enfermedades entre los animales.

Es importante destacar que el verdadero compromiso con la protección animal implica un cambio de mentalidad y de comportamiento en todas las áreas de la vida. Debemos tomar en cuenta que nuestras acciones tienen un impacto directo en la vida y bienestar de los animales, y que cada una de nuestras decisiones puede ser una oportunidad para promover el respeto y la protección hacia ellos. Solo así podremos avanzar en la construcción de una sociedad más justa y respetuosa hacia los animales.

Los mayores superdepredadores de los animales y del medio ambiente, somos los seres humanos. Destruimos y explotamos este planeta, como si tuviéramos otro donde vivir.
