摘要
“承认和维护动物福利,认可和维护动物的自然权利,尊重生命、善待动物、不虐待动物,保护动物福利也是保护人的利益,人与动物和谐相处,将科学精神与人文精神相结合”,这些是动物福利法的基本理念。动物福利法确认的是“动物的权利”,而不是“动物的人权”,更不是法律确认了动物是人。尊重生命是善待动物、不虐待动物的思想基础,不虐待动物是尊重生命的起码要求。科学精神是动物福利法的基础,人文精神是动物福利法的灵魂。只有形成并贯彻科学精神与人文精神相结合的理念,才能在一个汇集多种文明、多种主义、多种观念的多元化的当代社会,启动和推进动物福利立法。
＂Admitting and safeguarding the welfare of animals, recognizing and maintaining the natural rights of animals, respecting lives, treating animals with kindness, not maltreating animals, protecting animal welfare as well as protecting the benefits of human being, the harmonious coexistence of animals with human being, and the combination of scientific spirit with humanistic spirit＂ are the basic ideas of animal welfare law. What the animal welfare law strives to affirm is ＂the rights of aniL mals＂, not ＂the human rights of animals＂, still less the notion that animal is human. Respecting lives is the ideological base of treating animals with kindness and not maltreating animals while not maltreating animals is the least requirement of respecting lives. Scientific spirit is the base of animal welfare law and humanistic spirit is the soul of animal welfare law. Only by forming and carrying out the combination of scientific spirit with humanistic spirit can our country startup and advance animal welfare legislation in a many-faceted society with influxes of manifold civilizations, creeds and concepts.
