In 1989, Taiwan passed a "Wildlife Conservation Law" which is also based on a spirit of "animal welfare" and clearly stipulates that persons abusing protected wild animals and thereby causing their death may be imprisoned for up to one year.
台灣在七十八年通過的「野生動物保育法」，也有所謂動物福利的精神，清楚規定虐待保育類野生動物致死，可處一年以下的有期徒刑。
