Abstract(s)
Este artigo apresenta-se dividido em 4 secções
principais: na primeira, as questões do bem-estar psicológico
e das manifestações comportamentais problemáticas
dos animais em cativeiro são abordadas no
sentido de clarificar o tema e operacionalizar conceitos
tratados ao longo do texto; na segunda, enumeram-se
alguns critérios que permitem avaliar a situação dos
animais em termos de bem-estar; na terceira apresentam-
se exemplos de estratégias terapêuticas
desenvolvidas por alguns investigadores e destinadas
especialmente a chimpanzés, mas abrangendo outros
primatas; na quarta secção expõe-se um estudo de caso
- as alterações recentes na vida dos chimpanzés do
Jardim Zoológico de Lisboa e o resumo dum trabalho
realizado pela autora com os objectivos de permitir o
desenvolvimento de novos comportamentos e reduzir
alguns aspectos comportamentais indesejáveis; os
resultados desse estudo são discutidos em termos das
medidas a tomar para uma gestão dos cativeiros não só
de chimpanzés, como de outros animais, que respeite
as suas necessidades e promova assim um maior bem estar
psicológico.
