在过去的几年里，中国大陆掀起了新的社交热情。公众和学术界对动物福利、动物治疗，甚至动物权利的关注，是这些蓬勃发展的热情的核心。随着中国快速的经济变化和更多地获得来自世界各地的信息，社会对动物问题的认识正在迅速上升。加速这一范式转变的是几起涉及虐待动物的高度公开的事件，包括曝光熊取胆汁用于中药，从中国的肉类交易中救出数以千计的狗，以及呼吁抵制鱼翅汤和燕窝汤。本文从野生动物保护、伴生动物保护和实验动物保护三个相互关联的角度，概述了中国动物权益倡导者运动(特别是动物权利运动)的现状。通过回顾这场运动，我们试图呈现动物权利概念的政治和社会影响，以及对中国动物权利活动的看法和挑战。
In the past few years, new social passions have sparked on the Chinese mainland. At the centre of these burgeoning passions is a focus on animal welfare, animal treatment, and even animal rights, by the public and academic sectors. With China's rapid economic changes and greater access to information from around the world, societal awareness of animal issues is rising very fast. Hastening this paradigm shift were several highly public incidents involving animal cruelty, including exposes on bear bile harvesting for traditional Chinese medicine, the thousands of dogs rescued from China's meat trade, and the call to boycott shark fin soup and bird nest soup. This article outlines the current status of campaigning by animal advocates in China (specifically the animal rights movement) from three interlinked perspectives: wildlife conservation, companion animal protection, and laboratory animal protection. By reviewing this campaigning, we attempt to present not only the political and social impact of the concept of animal rights, but also the perceptions of, and challenges to, animal rights activities in China.
