摘要

去年,在哈伊马角和其他酋长国,关于流浪、被遗弃和被遗弃动物的报道越来越多。这导致越来越多的社区抱怨解决这个问题,以及由此产生的成本和对地方政府的要求,因为这些动物造成了环境和安全问题。这尤其具有挑战性,因为流浪动物和被遗弃的动物威胁着自然生态系统,给环境带来了不利的形象,这可能对当地的商业和旅游业产生负面影响。流浪和被遗弃的动物数量需要人为干预来控制;否则,人口可能呈指数级增长,进一步影响环境并增加社区的成本。有几种策略可以用来控制流浪动物和被遗弃动物的数量,例如诱捕-绝育-释放(TNR)计划。然而,有几个因素影响TNR计划的有效性,最明显的是社区的知识和意识。建议TNR项目与其他提高公众意识和教育的举措相辅相成,这些举措可以通过与动物福利部门的其他利益相关者合作进一步得到支持。通过确定在哈伊马角和阿拉伯联合酋长国(阿联酋)支持动物福利和处理流浪和被遗弃动物的战略,本报告旨在确定主要利益相关者,目前正在采取哪些措施来支持动物福利-包括TNR,以及社区对这些主题的理解和认识。首先是对TNR的文献回顾,然后是对所用方法的解释。调查结果分为三个部分:利益相关者的情况、社区的反馈和有关公共部门官员的观点,最后讨论了挑战并建议了可能考虑的下一步措施。

Animal Welfare in the United Arab Emirates
Over the last year, there have been increasing reports of stray, abandoned, and surrendered animals in Ras Al Khaimah and other emirates. This has led to growing complaints from the community to address the issue and the resulting costs and demands on local governments as these animals pose environmental and safety concerns. This is especially challenging as stray and abandoned animals threaten the natural ecosystem and give the environment an unfavorable image, which can negatively impact local businesses and tourism. The stray and abandoned animal population requires human intervention to control; otherwise, the population may grow exponentially, further impacting the environment and increasing costs to the community. Several strategies can be used to control the stray and abandoned animal population, such as Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) programs. However, several factors impact the effectiveness of TNR programs, most notably the community’s knowledge and awareness. It is recommended that TNR programs be complemented by other initiatives on raising awareness and educating the public, which can be further supported through collaborations with other stakeholders in the animal welfare sector. By identifying strategies to support animal welfare and address stray and abandoned animals in Ras Al Khaimah and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in general, this report aims to identify key stakeholders, what is currently being done to support animal welfare – including TNR, and the community’s understanding and awareness around these topics. It begins with a literature review on TNR, followed by an explanation of the methodology used. The findings are presented in three parts: the stakeholder landscape, the community’s feedback, and the perspectives of concerned public sector officials before concluding with a discussion on the challenges and recommending potential next steps to consider.
