动物侵权责任焦点下的动物园管理职责问题

Zoo Management Responsibility Under the Focus of Animal Tort Liability

动物园动物侵权责任纷争引发人们对动物园管理职责和《中华人民共和国侵权责任法》第81条规定的关注。认为动物园管理职责的理论基础在于安全保障义务,国外促进动物园安全保障成本投入等相关经验也有启示意义。认为动物园的安全保障职责体现于一系列复杂的管理,相关法规对于动物园管理职责的规定应明确且更严格,动物园动物侵权责任的法律规则安排和适用也当进行调整。

The disputes over the tort liability of zoo animals have aroused people’s attention to the zoo management responsibility and the provisions of Article 81 of the Tort Law of the People’s Republic of China. The theoretical basis of zoo management responsibility lies in the obligation of security, and the experience of foreign countries in promoting the cost in security of zoos is also instructive. Since the responsibility of zoos’ security is embodied in a complex system of management, the relevant regulations on the zoo management responsibility should be clear and stricter. Besides, the provisions of zoo animals’ tort liability as well as their application should also be adjusted.
