2020年以来,人们对《野生动物保护法》及其修改完善给予了较多的关注,根据宪法与部门法的关系理论以及相关几部法律的制定实践,宪法是《野生动物保护法》的间接立法依据。2018年修宪之后,我国宪法已经形成了有关野生动物保护的较为完整的规范体系。以宪法上的保护动物规范体系来审视,《野生动物保护法》存有诸多不足。2020年2月24日,全国人大常委会出台《关于全面禁止非法野生动物交易、革除滥食野生动物陋习、切实保障人民群众生命健康安全的决定》,有效回应疫情暴发后人们关切的若干问题,但功能上无法替代《野生动物保护法》的修改。以宪法上的保护动物规范体系为依据,并与宪法上的生态文明规范有效对接,真正以动物权益、公民权利和国家治理一体理念来进行修改完善。

The outbreak of the Covid-19 has drawn people's attention to the wildlife protection law and its amendments. According to the theory of the relationship between the constitution and departmental laws, and the enactment of several relevant laws, the constitution constitutes the indirect legislative basis of the wildlife protection law. After the amendment of the constitution in 2018, a relatively complete normative system concerning wildlife protection has been formed in China's constitution. According to the standard system of animal protection in the constitution, the wildlife protection law has many deficiencies. A decision made by the National People's Congress Standing Committee has made it clear on February 24, 2020 that comprehensively prohibiting illegal wildlife trade, eradicating the abuse of wild animals, and effectively guaranteeing people's health and safety, can effectively respond to the outbreak after several problems that people concern, but the function cannot replace the wildlife protection act. On the basis of the standard system of animal protection in the constitution, and in line with the standard of ecological civilization in the constitution, the amendment should be made based on the three-dimensional integration of animals, people and the country. Hence, specific Suggestions can be made for the revision of the wildlife protection law from the three dimensions of animals, people and the country.
