MANAUS – The Public Ministry of Amazonas (MP-AM) officiated at the Manacapuru City Hall (98 kilometers from Manaus), to charge urgent administrative measures because of the lack of a Municipal Center for Reception and Treatment of Animals in the city. The ministerial body established a civil inquiry to investigate the failure of the municipality to enable the creation and equipping of the folder.
The document was issued on January 12 this year, but was published last Friday, 4, in the Official Electronic Journal of MP-AM, through the 1st Prosecutor of Justice of Manacapuru / AM and signed by the prosecutor Kepler Antony Neto.
Currently, the municipality is under the management of Mayor Beto D’Ângelo (Republicans). In the publication, the prosecutor argues that the presence of loose animals on public roads lead to risks to the lives of pets and generate social disruption, such as traffic accidents or environmental contamination by waste.
“The presence of loose animals (dogs, cats and others) on public roads in urban centers, in addition to generating high risks to the lives of animals also generates social disorders such as traffic accidents, aggression to humans, environmental contamination by waste, waste dispersion and risk of disease transmission,” said Kepler Neto, in the civil investigation.
The prosecutor also considered the regulation contained in Resolution No. 06/2015-CSMP of MPAM, which disciplines the processing of civil and criminal extrajudicial procedures under the Amazonas State Prosecutor’s Office.
“They are institutional functions of the Public Ministry to promote the civil inquiry and public civil action, for the protection of public and social heritage, the environment and other diffuse and collective interests,” said the prosecutor, in the document.

The CENARIUM MAGAZINE contacted the City of Manacapuru, through the official social network of the Municipal Executive available on Facebook. Until the publication of this story, the report did not get a return.
Crime
According to an estimate by the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 30 million dogs and cats are abandoned in Brazil, between 10 million cats and 20 million dogs. For experts, as already reported in the civil investigation of MPAM, the abandonment of pets directly impacts people’s lives, due to traffic accidents that can be caused, since the animals are loose on public roads. The health of the population can also be affected.
According to the Federal Law 9.605/98, abandoning or mistreating animals, either by acts of abuse, injury, or mutilation, is considered an environmental crime in Brazil. According to the Federal Law 14.064/20, sanctioned in September 2020, the penalty for those who commit crimes against dogs or cats has increased from two to five years of detention, fine, and prohibition of custody.
In Amazonas, the Police Department Specialized in Crimes Against the Environment and Urbanism (Dema), of the Civil Police (PC-AM), works in partnership with several Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to rescue these animals on the streets, with the aim of offering a new life for pets.
In addition, Dema offers the 181 service, the complaint hotline of the Amazonas Secretary of Public Safety (SSP-AM), as well as direct phone contact with the police station to receive cases, through the numbers (92) 3239-3840 and 99962-2340. In Manaus, the Dema is located on Paul Adam street, s / n º, in the set Shangrilá 3, in the neighborhood of Parque Dez de Novembro.
