Resumen

El brote de COVID-2019 ha puesto la atención del público en el régimen jurídico relacionado con la vida silvestre de China, como el régimen regulatorio de caza y comercio de fauna silvestre y el régimen de prevención de epidemias animales, que es complejo, centrándose en la Ley de Protección de la Vida Silvestre. El 24 de febrero, el Comité permanente de la Asamblea Popular Nacional (NPC) emitió un acto legislativo de emergencia, la Decisión, que tiene el efecto de prohibir el consumo de vida silvestre, orientar la conciencia pública y regular el régimen jurídico general, e inicia directamente la revisión de la Ley de Protección de la Vida Silvestre. El 21 de octubre de 2020, se anunció la Ley de Protección de la Vida Silvestre (proyecto de enmienda). En base a la Decisión y al Proyecto, este artículo considera que en futuras revisiones de la Ley de Protección de Vida Silvestre, el enfoque principal debería estar en cambiar la forma de propiedad estatal, establecer un sistema de protección plural, incrementar las sanciones jurídicas, coordinarse con otras leyes y preocuparse por el bienestar animal individual.

Palabras clave

Vida silvestre en China, Derecho Animal, Legislación de emergencia, China.
