Implement controversial editing
First of all, legislation is not operable. What constitutes abuse lacks quantitative standards, and relevant judicial expertise is not mature. For example, it is difficult to define whether a lion is "forced" or hurt because of it.
Second, human attitudes towards animals are more manifested in the moral level, relying more on moral constraints and adopting legal means to enforce them. Overcorrection may be counterproductive.
Third, China's current judicial and social resources are very limited. Before the social problems are well solved, animal legislation seems a little ahead of schedule.
Fourth, legislation will objectively raise the threshold for raising and protecting animals, which is likely to bring harm to animals rather than protection.
Five, the national traditions of ethnic minorities have not been properly explained by law, and some traditional forms of entertainment may disappear, such as cockfighting and bullfighting. Another example is the Tibetan Festival, which is the most solemn ancestor worship ceremony of Miao people and has been a national tradition since the Song Dynasty. Whether it will disappear.
