introduction引言
随着文化的不断发展，动物保护日益成为我们社会关注的热点问题。近年来加拿大出现了很多关于动物的热点事件，比如虐猫虐狗事件，活熊取胆事件，老虎死亡事件等等，这些事件无疑挑战了加拿大人们的道德底线，当这些事件被新闻媒体爆出，当这些事件被广大人民所关注，我们尽管对这些事件诸多谴责，但是加拿大的相关法律缺少了对这些行为的惩罚措施，虽然只有明确的条款，相比于英国来说有很大的差距。
Canada is currently strongly advocated building a socialist harmonious society , not only refers to the so-called harmonious society and harmonious harmony between people, between people and nature, we should be paying attention . With the continuous development of human civilization , animal protection is becoming a hot issue of concern in our society . In recent years there has been a lot about Canadian animals hot events , such as child abuse cat dog events, live bear bile events, tiger deaths , etc. These events will undoubtedly challenge the public's moral bottom line , when these events are broke the news media , when these events are of concern to the majority of the people , even though we condemn many of these events , but the laws of our country 's lack of punishment for those acts , in addition to public condemnation of these acts we do nothing , many volunteers for these animals running around , but in addition to their well-intentioned advice has no legal weapons to protect these animals , which can not be said to be missing our national law.
We often say that people should live in harmony with nature , but at the same time when we humans evolving gradually neglected animals with interests in nature , territory they live constantly being invaded human living environment deteriorating , some nearly extinct animals , they not only did not treat human beings , but also for their own selfish desires hurt them. When we say protected , we can not just pay lip service only to those words , but it should put into action , the development of relevant laws and moral condemnation , while relevant personnel responsible for human development should not only economic development, when we have been promoting the social construction of the rule of law , we should not forget those and we live together on this earth creatures , therefore , to explore the question of animal welfare legislation has an important significance.#p#分页标题#e#
From the perspective of the current status of legislation in Canada , animal welfare legislation is still a blank area. Canada implemented this stage only the " Wild Animal Protection Law ," " Animal Quarantine Law " and several one-way law , the lack of a complete animal welfare laws. " Wildlife Protection Act " aimed at smuggling, theft and other illegal killing , and it is limited to the scope of protection of animals , such as dogs and cats for the common animals there is no requirement that such legislative status and extent of protected animals far abroad .
There are more than one hundred national legislation to protect animal welfare in the world , the concept of animal welfare originated in the United Kingdom. Now in accordance with internationally accepted argument, animal welfare is generally understood as a few larger freedom , that allow the animal to enjoy the freedom from hunger , freedom and comfortable life , freedom from pain , fear and freedom of living without a sense of sadness and nature of freedom of expression . Improve animal welfare legislation in the country , cruelty to animals is to bear criminal responsibility. European countries have also carried out on animal protection legislation , the United States and Japan also adopted such legislation. It can be said in the developed countries such legislation is perfect.
In this paper we present situation of animals through the protection and study of existing laws , reflects the need for the Canadian stage animal protection legislation , thereby to improve the public awareness of this issue.
The concept of animal welfare decades ago people would have been made , the British " animal welfare association" raised livestock should have five rights: should not be affected by hunger and thirst ; should live under uncomfortable environment ; does not suffer pain, injury and disease ; not frightened and nervous shock ; should not be deprived of the natural habits . " Americans Hughes made in the strict sense " of the term animal welfare "refers to the rearing farm animals and their environment coordinated perfectly healthy mental and physical state . Term generally refers to maintain the current animal physiology , mental health and normal growth of all things needed . " according to internationally recognized standards , the animals were divided into farm animals, laboratory animals , companion animals , working animals , entertainment, animals and wildlife six .
( 1 ) Farm animals are humans to obtain meat, milk, eggs and other animal products while in captivity .
( 2 ) the experimental animals in captivity , the implementation of control over their carrying microorganisms , the genetic background of clear or clear source for research, teaching, production , testing and scientific experiments animals.
( 3 ) companion animals is the purpose of personal entertainment or accompany humans in particular have been intended to be owned or animal in the family in certain places.#p#分页标题#e#
( 4 ) refers to the work of animal livestock serving humanity.
( 5 ) Entertainment animals are to perform, for people to visit the exhibition , brings joy to the human animal .
( 6 ) refers to the survival of wildlife in its natural state , the non-labor domesticated variety of mammals, birds , reptiles , amphibians , fish, mollusks, insects and other animals.
Animals in the legal system has been in the object position in recent years, due to the animal protection society is gradually being taken seriously , there is a view that can be put in a limited range of animals rise as the main legal relations within . 1990 "German Civil Code " has a new interpretation on the matter , "material" referring to things and animals , so the animals were excluded from the concept of matter in the general sense . Subject of legal relations is the so-called stakeholders in the legal relationship between those who enjoy certain rights and certain obligations. In this respect, the condition does not have to become the main body of the animal , the animal can not afford to stand as a subject of rights , exercise and realize their rights. The object is the object legal relationship of rights and obligations of the legal relationship between the main points from the point of view of animal protection as a mere object will cause the animal to animal rights overlooked. "Most scholars believe that Germany , as a private , " the German Civil Code , "the real intention is to explain , in the range of private animal is a living thing , not just that we usually have no life" thing " ; as a living thing it should be treated in accordance with the law , ie , from the treatment of animals on private law , public law and the law must take into account the requirements of other nature for animal welfare , animal health protection made these requirements must ensure that the animals are treated as a living the partners have certain things and thinking and execution capabilities to treat , measures should be treated not conducive to the protection of animal species and feelings . "② such means we get the animals usually through the purchase , which is in the process of buying and selling as a matter , there is a certain value, or in some cases the animals on loan ( such as Canada for panda lease ) , etc., as he was in the process of trading on the leasing of private law matter , but the fact is there is life Therefore, the protection of the law should be . So I think the legal status of animals as objects should have special status .

Status of animal protection动物保护的现状
The current status of animal protection in Canada is bleak, a variety of animal abuse incident after another injury .
Meat is one of the main foods consumed in Canada , every day a huge number of animals slaughtered in Canada , but we have to note that these are only some of the animals slaughtered are handled through formal slaughterhouse . Humane slaughter methods and the use of animals from suffering. However, many businesses in order to reap huge profits method is simple and crude, water for the benefit of selling meat, meat and more natural for water , water for animals taken in vivo methods , operation of the workers through the pig 's jaw with a hook that forced pig lift , then water the pigs , in this time, the pig would have been in extreme pain and fear.#p#分页标题#e#
Bear bile is high medicinal value , so some people in order to open a hole in profits bear 's abdomen, insert a plastic tube to extract bile , chest and abdomen in order to prevent wound healing , this root is long plastic tube placed in the bear's body , is Bear bile extraction will greatly shorten the life , but also in a number of reporters unannounced visits and rescue activities and animal protection officers can obviously feel the fear and pain of the bear . In recent days a video circulating on the Internet , the mother bear in order to avoid their children being taken bile , even break the cage to kill their children alive .
Fur clothing is a valuable raw material , a lot of people to wear fur to show off their wealth, mostly produced in Canada 's fur , Hebei Province , the animal's fur breeders to more luster to the operation more easy living stripping fur from animals , the animal's head with a wooden cabinet busting them or they mercilessly Shuaixiang ground so that they lose consciousness, then skinned, animal screams in the whole process again and again , and the scene of bloody endless. After many animals being skinned alive in fact , they are bright red fur covered body without being cruel man aside , struggle and die in pain.
In order to satisfy human appetites , human wanton killing of animals for so-called " early adopters" to capture a large number of wild animals , and now by the Japanese eat whale meat event of widespread concern , worldwide consumption of shark fin , and now has become the food of dogs and cats and extremely cruel production methods , we can say now except people are likely to appear in any animal on the table .
Now widespread concern that the event had been abused companion animals , cats and dogs will appear online and rabbits alive trampled video , according to the survey which is abnormal psychology in order to meet some people and generated a new interest chain , as well as dogs and cats in the same cell because of dissatisfaction with the calls or the accumulation of feces and taste , some people will be put to a simmer chicken poison plot to poison dogs and cats , there are people just because their whim or relieving pressure on cruelty to animals , According to a lot of people said that the adoption of stray animals , animals in the majority of adoptions there are signs of abuse , and some have severe disabilities , there is a story online recently , it was found that a puppy is just over two months in the street after the cut limbs abandoned , surrounded by the crowd could not bear to watch , and some tears , after being taken to hospital animal protectors still could not save their lives . These events are not uncommon in Canada .
" The existing animal protection legislation in Canada began in the late 1980s , the current provisions relating to animal protection are: " Wild Animal Protection Law, "" Terrestrial Wildlife Protection implementing regulations " , " Aquatic Wildlife Conservation Implementation Regulations "and other in addition , there are some departmental rules , such as " laboratory animals regulations" , " zoo management regulations " and . "③ they did also play a protective role , but these laws is not sufficient to protect all the animals around us . First, Canada introduced legislation for protection of these animals, too narrow, limited only to the treasure endangered animals, this is just a small part of Canada extant animals to other animals, now has no laws protecting . Canada now causing frequent incidents of this animal , but no specific organs and departments can control , nor any embarrassment managed basis . Canadian law currently in the field of animal protection in terms of the majority principle is not feasible , it is not conducive to law enforcement authorities , the current due to the Canadian animal protection event has caused widespread concern, jurists have jointly completed the " People's Republic of China animal Protection Law " ( experts recommend draft ) and will soon be submitted to the relevant departments in Canada just ended two sessions , the delegates unprecedented attention from animal protection legislation , many delegates legislative proposal calls for the animals .#p#分页标题#e#
Media媒体（对动物保护的宣传）
Media has been a significant part of our daily life, a vehicle for communicating to the public as well as a source of entertainment. Magazines, TV programs, radio, billboards, news, internet, cell phones are the forms of mass media which are considered to be part of our everyday routine. Traditionally, parents serve as primary social models for children; whereas other models may include siblings, teachers, relatives and other persons who are significant in children’s lives. Over time, however, parents’ influence as models to their children is on the decline as a direct or indirect result of technological advancement and alterations in household economics. Aside from their busy schedules (which is common in dual-career and single-parent households), families of today seem to gather around rarely because each member has easy access to his or her own television, telephone, computer, music player, etc.. This set-up would imply that children are more inclined to interact less with their parents and spend more time on their own. Thus, children could turn their attention from their parents to more accessible diversions, such as television watching. Without their parents’ direct guidance or control, such exposure can become excessive and unguarded. It would not be much of a surprise, if what these children watch did influence their thinking and behavior. Studies conducted by Weiten & Lloyd reported that children in the U.S. spend 2-4 hours on TV watching alone and this habit appears to increase as they get older (Kirsh). Children and the youth are media’s darling. Media as perceived by children is full of excitement and wonder, because it brings them to a world of reality as well as make believe. A child development expert T. Berry Brazelton, MD., warns parents that, media is really ”the biggest competitor for our children’s heart and mind“ (Steyer). Furthermore, James P. Steyer an advocate for media organization for children, in his book regards media as ”the other parent“ since at present time children spend much of their time with these different forms of media. In view of the fact that our society is media saturated, parents should be aware of the positive and negative effects of media to children.
Media’s positive effects are: First, its academic learning opportunities. ”Over the past 30 years, shows such as Sesame Street, Teletubbies, Barney, and Blue’s Clues have provided academic learning to toddlers and pre-aged children. For older children, programs such as Zoom, Cyberchase, and Zoboomafoo are replete with informative, scientific facts. For pre-teens and teenagers, cable channels such as The Animal Planet, The Discovery Channel, and The Learning Channel offer a wide range of educational fare“(Kirsh). Children that are exposed to educational programs are more likely to adopt to what they are watching , to cite an example children(toddlers) from a non-english speaking country that are expose to shows like Barney are able to learn to speak English although with improper grammar. They learn to communicate with the English language and by the time they attend school learning grammar will be easier for them. The same is true with older children, programs shown in the National Geographic Channel, The Animal Planet and Discovery Channel and articles written in their published magazine as well as their websites help them to learn and see what a certain animal looks like, see and explore places that are impossible for human to go to and visit places that are overseas. These educational programs help them to visualize places and animals as well as further explain theories that are learned in the classroom.#p#分页标题#e#
The second positive effect of media is pro-social behavior learning. ”Pro-social behavior refers to any action that benefits another person. Comforting, sharing, and helping are all examples of pro-social actions“ (Kirsh). Many develop mentalists, especially those leaning towards the tradition of Social-Cognitive perspective; argue that much of the changes in children’s behavior may be accounted for by their observation of others. Learning through imitation or more commonly known as Observational Learning, occurs when a child observes and eventually imitates a model’s behavior. Programs designed for pro social behavior learning teaches children to practice social behavior such as sharing, helping when they themselves interact socially. They are thought how to properly respond to problems encountered in the outside world like in school or in the community. For example a child who watches how kids share art materials in completing a project in Sesame Street will the same way share his crayons to a classmate when he attend school. To further explain this impression, a study conducted by Mares in 1986 ”suggest that the viewing of pro social television content can increase positive interactions among youth during play and increase altruism“ (Kirsh). On the other hand, although pro social programs are intended to teach pro social behavior the age of the viewer should be considered because children of younger age are more adaptable to such teaching than older children.
Despite the positive effects presented media has negative effects as well. Children’s familiarity with these media models could lead them to pick up new behaviors that are not modeled by their own parents such as: First, body image and eating disorder problems. According to the Anorexia Nervosa and Related Eating Disorder organization (ANRED), more than half of teenage girls are on diets or think they should be (Tomeo). TV programs and magazines that show teenage girls that are thin even though unintentional young girls tend to copy their favorite character. In their target to get thin they put themselves to diet, at times they force themselves not to eat to get thin. ”On average, girls begin dieting at the age of eight, and eighty-one percent of ten-year-olds fear becoming fat. A national eating disorder treatment center in 2006 reported that sixty-three percent of elementary school teachers are concerned about eating disorders in their classroom. From where do these girls get such a poor self image“ (Tomeo). Unfortunately, mass media most frequently foster negative affective body images among youth (Kirsh). Apparently, models are not limited to real people; super heroes, cartoon or video game characters, even television or movie idols, can also serve as symbolic or media models in this case.
The second negative effect of media is the introduction to drug use. Commercials give enthusiasm to young viewers because they are entertaining, but the harm it brings to the young minds of children is often overlooked. The youth being exposed in a world surrounded with media, are therefore exposed to adult aimed advertisements like commercials of cigarettes and liquor. According to a group that studies health issues, in 1999 the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation concluded that the average child between age eight to 18 spends more than 40 hours using television, radio, billboards and the internet wherein advertising occupies much of the time (”Youth-Oriented Advertising“). Furthermore, it is a fact according to Gerbner that many of this adult oriented advertisements are purposely designed to be attractive to the youth (Kirsh, p. 337). Take smoking for instance; commercials of cigarette infuse curiosity to the youth in the same way that movies and music videos that contain characters that smoke predispose them to do the same. Moreover, ads contribute to problems such as obesity, alcohol abuse and teen smoking (”Youth-Oriented Advertising“).#p#分页标题#e#
To sum up, the discussion revealed that aside from parents and significant people who come in contact with the child, symbolic characters can also be potent models. Taking into consideration the presence of factors that have a pervasive influence on the child’s imitative behavior, the television can be a powerful agent of socialization. Despite its negative effects, however, TV viewing can also have constructive effects on children. Under proper supervision and if viewing is done in moderation, families, particularly parents can harness, and even maximize this medium’s potential as a good source of information and helpful avenue for learning.

I think the animals of repeated incidents of abuse Canada is currently the main result of our attitude towards life, human nature has been the master of itself, we continue to conquer nature, to get a steady flow of resources from nature , so as gradually to put their all natural things we no longer Thanksgiving gift of nature , but think of it as a matter of course , is this a matter of course caused us no respect for life , for those animal rights and equality of our lives on earth indifference , our legislation to protect them actually also to protect ourselves , " criminologist U.S. study showed that: animal abuse at a young age , it may be early manifestations adult crime ; while a person can be kind to animals, is also considered to determine whether he has a good heart one standard a national attitude of how countries treat animals directly reflects the degree of civilization of this country . "⑧ murderer was arrested after questioning many find that they have had in the adolescent cruelty to animals . Canada is now the behavior of animals slaughtered there is indeed a trend of younger age , a twelve- year-old child killed by a cat just because of curiosity , is not that we do fail education , children's ability to imitate is the world's strongest, he demeanor from adult learning which is very wrong because the child's behavior and social parents did not give him the right to instill the concept . Youth growing process, did not form their own worldview and values , if you have been in contact with these bloody process of growing them , and accustomed to cruel treatment of animals , it would be a terrible thing. If we let the future of the country living in this environment , we are advocating how to achieve a harmonious society , I think that we should teach children to grow up in their most important concept is love, whether it is for family and friends or for those little creatures , Do not let the bloody eyes of a child . If the book is not enough to make them understand the education of respect for life , then we will use the law to stop .#p#分页标题#e#
"Fan •said: " A society's level of civilization depends on the attitude of people towards life as well as the degree of respect and reverence for life is life , "he wrote :" " humanist Schweitzer at ." Ethics not only with people but also with the animal related animals like us desire happiness, recognize the pain and fear of death . If we are only concerned about the relationship between people , then we will not become truly civilized up " American scholars believe Berg : brutalized live animals, make people 's moral degeneration of a nation , if not prevent its members of the brutal treatment of animals , will also face the risk of critical decline celtic civilization itself and think : prohibit cruelty to animals , and not just for the animals as victims, but also to our own true human civilization , our nation progress, our humanity ...... are concerned with this development moral Mahatma Gandhi also said : great visual of how a country treats its animals to be measured and therefore , how to treat a national of the State animal attitude in to some extent a measure of the degree of civilization of a society an important symbol . "⑨ because the attitude towards animals directly reflects the basic attitude of people towards life . Our constantly in the news recently reported that Canada 's GDP surpassed Japan to become the world's second largest economy, the current result in the development of our country is certainly welcome, but we need to understand the economic development of developing countries does not mean that civilization does not mean enhance national quality. Throughout the history of the world , we have experienced a rise and fall of many regimes change, the eventual development of substances have become superficial, and retained only civilized country can become proved in the long river of history exist. How Canada continuation brilliant five thousand years of civilization , civilization requires not only moral but also the development of civilization and the rule of law , the protection of animal welfare legislation without delay . In the social survey for animal welfare legislation indicated that over 80% of users in favor of legislation , more than 70% of people in favor of animal abuse people held criminally responsible , which fully reflects the voice of the community.
Because of Canada 's animal imperfect legislation , people do not pay attention to animal welfare , the animals simply rude , Canadian International Trade restrictions become obstacles to development . Canadian agricultural products are exported to Europe , but the EU introduced a series of restrictions on animal welfare laws , such as Canada, frequent events such as clenbuterol , when fed to livestock breeders to add harmful chemicals and take inhumane slaughter methods these serious violations of international standards of animal welfare. Canadian position in international trade resulting in more and more passive , and some countries even ban the import of Canadian agricultural products, such as for example when it comes to the front of fur products , Canada has been a big country fur exports, but with the stripping of animal fur in Canada live events exposure animal protection organizations in many countries to protest against the government , calling for a ban fur products into the Canadian market in the country . "Due to the economic, technical underdeveloped legal system is imperfect and animal welfare , including the development of Canada Canadian home can easily become a WTO provisions to protect animal welfare concerns the object in order to protect their animals are always industry , with the development of economy , science and technology developed countries always adopt various means to continuously improve animal welfare conditions of barriers to international trade . "⑪ If we do not legislate the protection of animal welfare in Canada , Canada will impose a passive position in international trade and the gradual loss of competitiveness . Because Canada has no relevant legislation, keeping people fed to healthy animals is not only harmful to harm the animal feed in the breeding process is the harm to human health , but also for the brutal slaughter of households slaughtered animals will not feel pain before death , and this will lead to animal suffering body secrete harmful substances. " Animals in extreme panic and pain , the adrenaline will be a lot of toxins secreted to form when the animal dies , their body all the excretory function and detoxification functions are stopped, all of these toxins is completely left in the animal's blood and muscle where , for eaters are quite harmful . "⑫ these things will eventually be put on the table of humanity .#p#分页标题#e#
