虐待动物行为的法律分层治理分析

Analyses of the Tiered Legal Governance on Cruelty to Animal

对于虐待动物的行为,大部分人都认为应该增设虐待动物罪进行处罚。通过对有关虐待动物行为和结果的分析,认为虐待动物行为不宜入罪。对于虐待动物这一社会现象不宜采取"一刀切"的方式进行处理,而应分清虐待动物所影响到的社会关系种类予以区别对待,并与刑法、行政法、民法协调衔接,实现法律的分层治理。

Most people hold the opinion that animal cruelty should be legislatively regulated for punishing those maltreating animal. The analyses of the behaviors and consequences of cruelty to animal reveal that it＇s improper to regulate cruelty to animal as a crime. The social phenomenon of maltreating animal shouldn＇t be tackled in a unitary way, and the proper solution is to deal with the phenomenon differently according to the types of social relations affected and apply tiered legal governance by coordinating criminal law, administrative law and civil law.
