| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 法律學研究所 === 107 === Because of the non-euthanasia policy which came into force on February 6th 2017, public animal shelters are now running out of space for accommodating animals. Therefore, the development of private animal shelters is necessary, which helps alleviate the problem of a lack of room public animal shelters are facing.
The main social problems this master thesis aims to discuss are as follow: the lack of regulations on the species private animal shelters are allowed to take care of, the requirements for animal care facilities and care providers, the qualification of private animal shelter owners, the issues regarding land use, the financial problems confronted by private animal shelters, and the guarantee responsibility of the state for private animal shelters. Moreover, although the Act for Promotion of Private Participation in Infrastructure Projects is the most typical regulation on privatization, it is not suitable for private animal shelters due to the characteristics of the shelters themselves.
Therefore, this master thesis aims to first introduce the legal framework and regulations of the U.S. to Taiwan. Then, the thesis aims to examine the current version of Taiwan’s Animal Protection Act and other related regulations at both the central and local level, and finally, to discover why Act for Promotion of Private Participation in Infrastructure Projects is unsuitable for the legal framework of private animal shelters. By carrying out the research mentioned above, this master thesis has concluded a number of legal suggestions for how a proper legal framework for private animal shelters can be built. Besides, based on the legal framework mentioned above, this master thesis would also like to legalize the private kennels.
