Abstract

In 2015, 20 experts from academia, industry, and non-governmental organisations on 5 continents agreed to a set of seven international principles for ethical decision making (“the principles”) in managing human–wildlife conflict. The principles have since been recognised in wildlife management policy and standards in parts of British Columbia, Canada. In 2022, the principles were introduced to the Scottish Parliament by means of a formal Motion lodged by Colin Smyth MSP. Smyth expressed the view that opportunities existed to integrate the principles into the Scottish Government’s strategic approach to wildlife management and its species licensing review. The (now former) Minister for Environment, Biodiversity and Land Reform at the Scottish Government, Mairi McAllan, stated in the Motion debate that followed that she was committed to working to understand how the principles could sit alongside the Scottish Government’s ambitious programme to protect animals and wildlife. The Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Bill was introduced to the Scottish Parliament prior (February 2022) to the Motion debate but passed on 24 January 2023, following various debate and amendment stages. It offered parliamentarians the first opportunity to align wildlife-specific legislation with the principles. The Bill received Royal Assent on 7 March 2023 and is now the Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Act 2023 (“The Act”). A review of The Bill (and subsequent Act) can assist in identifying where it could have aligned more closely with the principles to assist decision makers in understanding how to usefully incorporate the principles into future wildlife legislation and policy.
从加拿大到苏格兰:伦理野生动物控制原则的纳入:综述
2015年,来自五大洲学术界、工业界和非政府组织的20名专家就管理人类与野生动物冲突的伦理决策(“原则”)达成了一套七项国际原则。此后,这些原则在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省部分地区的野生动物管理政策和标准中得到了认可。2022年,苏格兰议会议员Colin Smyth通过正式动议向苏格兰议会提出了这些原则。Smyth认为,有机会将这些原则纳入苏格兰政府的野生动物管理战略方法及其物种许可审查。苏格兰政府环境、生物多样性和土地改革部长(现任前)Mairi McAllan在随后的动议辩论中表示,她致力于了解这些原则如何与苏格兰政府保护动物和野生动物的雄心勃勃的计划相结合。《带狗狩猎(苏格兰)法案》在动议辩论之前(2022年2月)提交给了苏格兰议会,但在经过不同的辩论和修正阶段后,于2023年1月24日获得通过。它为议员们提供了第一次机会,使针对野生动物的立法与原则保持一致。该法案于2023年3月7日获得皇家批准,现在是《2023年犬只狩猎(苏格兰)法案》(“该法案”)。对该法案(以及随后的法案)的审查可以帮助确定该法案在哪些方面可以与原则更紧密地一致,以帮助决策者了解如何将这些原则有效地纳入未来的野生动物立法和政策中。
