Abstract
Due to the legislation of animal protection law, the animal protection legal system had been formed in Taiwan, however, what is the background of the legislation? Was it pushed by Taiwan’s local social activities or other factors? The reason of the legislation is the answer I want to purchase.
As time goes on, the way people treat animals changed, take western history for example, from regarding animals as property and treating them instrumentally to trying to treat them with humanity, we could see the change of human thoughts. After that, the idea of environmental protection had shown up, and made human to bear in mind the interest of whole environment then started to protect wild animals, finally the idea of animal protection had been formed. However, Taiwan is deeply affected by the culture of Han nationality, so was there any government rules about animals in the legal civilization of Han nationality? By observing those government rules about animals in traditional China, I try to find out the existence of the idea of animal protection.
Taiwan had been governed by several different regimes, and what was the reason of those different regulations about animals had been formed? After the governance of Ching dynasty, the coming Japanese government brought Taiwan the new type of regulations － modern law, in that legal system, many laws are related to animals, each one of them had different legislative goals, and in that period of time, the laws about protecting wild animals started to be legislated. But after the legal system of R.O.C. started to be executed in Taiwan, the legislative gap appeared, even the R.O.C. government took lots of administrative measures to make up, it still hard to cover the slow and passive step of building the animal protection legal system.
