Die nächste Pandemie verhindern
Positionspapiere von VIER PFOTEN zum One-Health-Ansatz bei der Prävention von Zoonosen
Die COVID-19-Pandemie hat die Verflechtung zwischen der Gesundheit und dem Wohlergehen von Menschen, Tieren und der Umwelt deutlich vor Augen geführt. Eine Verbesserung des Tierschutzes verringert das Risiko künftiger Ausbrüche von Zoonosen. Eine Zoonose – wie COVID-19, SARS, Ebola, die Vogelgrippe und viele andere – hat ihren Ursprung bei Tieren und wird zwischen Tieren und Menschen übertragen. Allerdings sind nicht die Tiere selbst die eigentliche Ursache dieser pathogenen Übertragung, sondern vielmehr das menschliche Verhalten, das Bedingungen schafft, unter denen Viren und Bakterien gedeihen und sich ausbreiten können.
Betrachtet man die Situation durch die Brille des One-Health-Ansatzes, wird die gegenseitige Abhängigkeit zwischen Tierschutz und menschlicher Gesundheit deutlich. One Health bietet einen Weg, um die Übertragung von Krankheitserregern zu verhindern, wenn Menschen das Wohlergehen der Tiere verbessern und risikoreiche Praktiken einstellen.
