| 摘要 |
人們對動物保護人士的行動，很容易便會根據直覺做出某些評論。首先是，「和動物相關的問題是個專業的小問題，留給獸醫或專家就行了，實在不必要浪費政府資源，將他當做公共問題來討論」；其二、「保護受虐動物的討論，是那些少數喜愛動物的人的事情，和我無關」；其三、「反正動物又不可能說話，不會投票，制定決策時只要各方人們的意見能獲得共識就好」；最後，「人為萬物之靈，利用畜牲是天經地義，實在不曉得有什麼不對的，動物保護人士真是愛心氾濫」。
本文試圖透過西方政治學領域文獻的檢閱，回答上述幾個大哉問，首先，將先介紹動物保護議題的主流─倫理學及科學，並分析為何動物保護研究為何需要政治學的介入，方能補足其失落一角，接著則是介紹幾個不同的動物保護政治學的意識型態，再來則分析學者如何使動物保護政策能順利與自由主義治理機制相銜接，最後，則是為未來我國動物保護政治學研究提出前瞻性的研究方向。 |
| Abstract |
People easily make several instinctive comments to animal protectors' action. First, one will say that "animal-related issue is a professional but just a small issue, so let vets and experts to deal with it. Therefore, no need for government to spend resources to deal with it as if it's a public problem." Second, one will also say that "animal abusing has the matter with people who loving animal, it has no relationship with me because I don’t care about animals". Third, people say "because animals can't speak and vote, people can formulate policy just by their own consensus."
This Article tried to answer these questions above by reviewing western political science publications. First, I'll introduce the mainstream ethical and science field and then analyze why animal protection need the infusion of political science. Secondly, I'll introduce several political ideologies about animal protection. Thirdly, I try to figure out how to combine liberalism governance mechanism and animal protection thought. Finally, I try to sketch the future research direction of animal protection political science in our country. |
