Judicialização de políticas públicas em prol dos animais: Uma visão de saúde única

Abstract

The main concern of this article is to reflect on the need or not to think about public policies for animals and the role of the Judiciary in its implementation. For this, the deductive reasoning was used, as well as the documentary and bibliographic research technique. From the given question, it was studied the applicable norms, doctrine and philosophical currents. A brief summary was made of public policy in general and briefly discussed some that would apply to animals. Then, the concept of single health was studied, which considers the interdependence between human health, animal health and environmental health. Finally, we analyze the question of the judicialization of public policies. Finally, the question of the judicialization of public policies was analyzed so that it would be concluded that the State and the community have the duty to protect the animals and that protecting the fauna is indirectly to defend the human being. Thus, in this article, an attempt was made to emphasize the need for public policies in the light of the one health outlook, as well as the relevance of the Judiciary's action in the implementation of these policies as a response to the problem of the need for public authorities to implement public policies for the benefit of animals and if, if so, there should be room for the Judiciary There is, therefore, a clear general objective, based on the analysis of public policies in favor of animals, and specific objectives, namely: i) to provide protection for animals, the environment and the human being, based on the concept of one health, and (ii) to verify the role of the Brazilian judiciary, and its limitations, in the implementation of public policies.
