00:00:00 - 00:00:00

In the YouTube video "Conselho de Medicina Veterinária faz campanha de combate ao tráfico de animais," the speakers address the issue of animal trafficking in Brazil and its detrimental effects on wildlife, the environment, and human health. The blue macaw and other exotic species are frequently targeted by collectors, making up 80% of animal trafficking cases. Last year, the Polícia Militar Ambiental confiscated 30,000 wild animals from traffickers and receivers. The Conselho Nacional de Medicina Veterinária initiated a campaign to raise awareness about the environmental and human health consequences of animal trafficking, as 75% of human diseases originate from animals. Although Brazilian law permits keeping wild animals as pets, it is crucial to purchase them from certified breeders recognized by environmental agencies to prevent animal trafficking. After being rescued, animals are treated and eventually released back into their natural habitats, but many struggle to adapt, causing further harm to the environment. Buying wild animals illegally contributes to this damage.

The blue macaw is one of the most beloved birds in Brazil, but it and other exotic species are often illegally acquired by collectors. Animals make up 80% of animal trafficking cases, and last year, the Polícia Militar Ambiental seized 30,000 wild animals from traffickers and receivers. The Conselho Nacional de Medicina Veterinária launched a campaign to raise awareness about the damage caused to the environment and humans, as 75% of human diseases originate from animals directly or indirectly. While Brazilian legislation allows for wild animals to be kept as pets, it is essential to purchase them from certified breeders recognized by environmental agencies to avoid animal trafficking. After being seized, animals are treated and released back into nature, but many cannot regain their freedom immediately due to their inability to adapt to their natural habitats. Buying wild animals illegally harms the environment.
