尽管最近努力提高认识和加强预防行动，但狗咬伤和狂犬病仍是世界范围内被忽视的问题。作为问题，狗咬伤和狂犬病相互纠缠，都符合一个健康的概念。这一概念强调人类和非人类物种在复杂的社会生态系统中的相互依存关系。尽管直观的吸引力，一个健康的应用和批评仍然欠发达的社会科学和社会正义。在这篇文章中，我们报告了一个关于狗咬伤和狂犬病政策的民族志案例研究，重点是加拿大阿尔伯塔的卡尔加里，这是一个被广泛认为是动物控制政策的领导者。实地考察于2013年至2016年进行。我们的分析表明，目前的狂犬病预防政策可能会牺牲一个健康的“大局”。在这一“大局”中，需要支持加强动物控制和公共卫生政策之间的协调。这种协调与儿童的福祉，尤其是土著儿童的福祉直接相关。(C)2017爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
Dog-bites and rabies are neglected problems worldwide, notwithstanding recent efforts to raise awareness and to consolidate preventive action. As problems, dog-bites and rabies are entangled with one another, and both align with the concept of One Health. This concept emphasizes interdependence between humans and non-human species in complex socio-ecological systems. Despite intuitive appeal, One Health applications and critiques remain under-developed with respect to social science and social justice. In this article, we report on an ethnographic case-study of policies on dog bites and rabies, with a focus on Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which is widely recognized as a leader in animal-control policies. The fieldwork took place between 2013 and 2016. Our analysis suggests that current policies on rabies prevention may come at the expense of a 'bigger picture' for One Health. In that 'bigger picture,' support is needed to enhance coordination between animal-control and public-health policies. Such coordination has direct relevance for the well-being of children, not least Indigenous children. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
