Relationship between man and animals contradictions and conflicts,not only originated from the rapid development of modern contemporaryscience and technology and economy, also originated in the main ideaabout understanding of relationship between “human and animals”,“Torule” or “To conquer”.especially in the study of ethical discussion aboutanimal behavior from home and abroad ecological philosophy and ethics,as well as the18th on the third plenary session finger out the new age ofecological civilization, highlight the theory and practice of ecologicalcivilization consciousness, discussion on the ethic between “human andanimal” becomes the urgent need of research subject.First of all, we discuss ethics system combing and analysis in therelationship between human and animal from ancient to modern. Ancienteastern religions, especially the Indian Buddhism, Chinese Taoism alltreated animals plain ethics thought; China’s world view about “harmonybetween man and nature” and “benevolence” thought to love animals andwestern Christianity improvement thought from “rule” or “conquer” to“management” animals, Descartes thoughts “animals are machine” withHitler to distinguish for animal value and appreciate, all have far-reachinginfluence on modern animal ethics. Peter Singer assumed thatdomesticated animals are feeling the same way, While Tom Reaganargued its intrinsic value to wildlife, Finally James Parker has furtherconfirmed that animals have feelings and conscious and part of the reasonor some weak “rational” ability, this is the reason and according to theimportant symbol of modern animal ethics.Secondly, do some analysis about the ethics relationship between“human and animal”. Then searching for the diversity of identity in thehuman need and animals need, which both have two kinds of needs:survival and health.“Human and animals” are all “conscious subject ofa life”. Normal behavior of the interests means survival, safety andhealth requirement, fulfill the proper value and social duty. In modernscience and technology, economy and the development of the globalization, the interests of the animal normal behavior have beendistortion and destruction. Thus, we need to change the conquest ofanimal ethics totally.Again, proposes the establishment of moral philosophy,moralprinciples and ethics between “human and animals”, establish“widespread contact”,“life equality”,“human stands for the earthspaceship agents” and “animal diversity is closely connected with culturaldiversity” Animal ecological world view, tool value, inner value, intrinsicvalue and system value for animals to ecological values, form respectand love leads to the “human to animal” rights view, including positiverights and negative rights and rights of zero. From the rationality ofhuman material and spiritual level, put forward the principle “beneficialto human”, also from the awe and respect animal ecological integrity,stability, and beautiful,“promote ecological principle”. Further more,put forward and confirmed animal ethics about domestic animals,including pets, for eating, using, zoo animals, experimental animals andwild animals.
