In an interview with the media, Zhu Lieyu, deputy to the National People's Congress, proposed to submit a proposal on the formulation of the anti cruelty law of the people's Republic of China. It is reported that this is the fifth time that Zhu Lieyu has submitted a motion against animal abuse at the two sessions. At the annual national two sessions, representatives and members often submit proposals and suggestions on combating animal abuse. Previously, the State Forestry Administration had rectified abusive performances, and the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas also said it was necessary to improve legislation. The continuous emergence of these voices is of great benefit to promoting the legislation against animal abuse. The protection of animals reflects the progress of social civilization. Cruelty to animals is a bad behavior against civilization. Cruelty to animals not only endangers animal life and health, but also may pose a threat to the safety of human life and property, and even evolve into a vicious public security event endangering social order and affecting social stability and harmony. For this reason, in recent years, some animal abuse phenomena have become quite dazzling, which has aroused strong criticism from the public. Typical cases, such as women wearing high heels and stepping on cats, college students' sulfuric acid throwing bears, and Fujian Putian men's long-term abuse of dogs, are extremely cruel and shocking. At present, the parties to such cases are mostly punished for public security according to the severity of social impact, or for the crime of provocation. It can be seen that the absence of relevant laws leads to insufficient basis for punishment, low illegal cost, difficult to play a deterrent role, and the phenomenon of animal abuse has not been effectively curbed. With the continuous progress of social civilization, the intensity of animal protection is also being strengthened step by step. At present, all sectors of society in China tend to agree on the concept of combating animal abuse. The proposal of the representatives of the national two sessions is a concentrated and specific reflection of public opinion, which shows that China's social maturity and civilization index are constantly improving. It is necessary to timely issue relevant laws and regulations to clarify the criminal responsibility of animal abuse and guide the people to treat animals well, Jointly build an animal friendly society.
