以动物福利与动物权利为视角探讨我国动物保护立法

善待动物 保护动物福利——也谈我国动物福利立法

长期以来，人类中心主义占据着主流思潮，人们理所当然地认为，动物与生俱来就是人的附属品，为人食用、供人取乐，享受动物所提供的食物、衣物、劳动等是人天经地义的一项权利，不少人在享受这项权利的同时，却无视动物的感受，肆意地按照自己的喜乐将一些惨不忍睹的行径加注于动物身上，给动物造成了莫大的痛苦。透过一系列触目惊心的损害动物的事件，我们惊讶地发现：我们生活的这个世界竟然成了众多动物的苦难场。

试论动物福利立法的必要性

在施韦泽“敬畏生命”的伦理看来,所有的生命都是神圣的,包括那些从人的立场来看是低级的生命。这种伦理观念要求人们,像敬畏自己的生命意志那样敬畏其它物种的生命意志,满怀同情地对待生存于自己之外的所有其它生命意志。 透过《起于美丽,终于荒凉》的纪录片镜头,我们看到了滇金丝猴、藏羚羊等野生动物的美丽与安详,同时也看到了人类对自然的残暴和掠夺。这两种对比强烈的影像强烈地震撼着人     

Development of animal welfare legislation for the European Community

Animal welfare is of increasing importance for the European Community, which is reinforced by the Protocol to the EC Treaty on protection and welfare of animals. After the recent improvements to the legislation on the protection of pigs, the next priority for the Commission is the further development of the standards of animal transportation, particularly since a report of the Commission pointed out shortcomings in the enforcement of the existing rules in this area.     

The expanding role of animal welfare within EU legislation and beyond

Animal welfare is being accorded an increasingly important role in today's civil society. Within the EU, this has been enshrined within the specific “Protocol on Protection and Welfare of Animals” annexed to the EC Treaty, obliging Member States and the EU Institutions to pay full regard to the welfare of animals when formulating and implementing Community legislation. There is a growing body of EU legislation on this issue, founded on sound scientific principles (including the role of EFSA in providing independent scientific advice), taking account of public concerns, stakeholder input and possible socio-economic implications. Recent CAP reforms also testify to animal welfare's growing stature in policy-making, with the introduction of the principle of cross-compliance regarding eligibility for direct payments and additional financial incentives for producers to achieve higher standards. Animal welfare is being increasingly perceived as an integral element of overall food quality, having important knock-on effects on animal health and food safety. On a worldwide level, the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) has embarked on an initiative to develop global animal welfare guidelines and standards mandated by 167 member countries and the issue remains on the agenda for future WTO negotiations. Consumers demand higher standards of animal protection and it is incumbent upon policy-makers and legislators to respond accordingly.

我国动物福利立法探讨

动物福利法在西方已有～。百多年的历史,美国、欧盟、加拿大、澳大利亚等经济发达国家已为动物福利立法。西方发达国家常以自己国家的动物福利法案为法律依据,要求进口动物产品必须满足其福利规定,实质上形成了动物福利壁垒。随着经济和社会的进一步发展,动物福利和动物福利立法在中国开始被提到议事日程中,成为公众和知识界关注的话题。     

The importance of applied ethology for the execution of animal welfare legislation]

Applied ethology in general and farm animal ethology in particular have a great importance in connection with animal welfare regulations on a national and international level. They have through the legislation on animal welfare brought about important repercussions on housing of farm animals, wild animals and experimental animals in Switzerland. The animal welfare legislation has been a considerable boost to scientific research. The application of ethological knowledge in the legislation and in practice has indeed also its limits. The importance of applied ethology for animal welfare and for animal husbandry will still increase in future.
