Abstract: 生态伦理拓展了道德关怀的边界，将“生态整体主义”的生态伦理观精准注入到环境治理体系中，将有助于构建人与自然和谐共处的理想秩序。随着城市化进程的加快，城市流浪动物问题日益严峻，成为影响城市公共卫生、生态环境及社会稳定的重要因素，使得城市流浪动物治理体系的道德基础面临巨大挑战。从生态整体主义出发，基于传统治理方式揭示城市流浪动物治理的生态伦理困境，强调应将城市流浪动物视为城市生态系统中不可分割的一部分，实现治理体系的道义重塑，以期走向更加人道、高效、可持续的治理路径，将对生态文明建设有所裨益。Ecological ethics expands the boundaries of moral consideration, and by integrating the ecocentric perspective of ecological holism into environmental governance systems, it can facilitate the establishment of an ideal order of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. However, with the accelerating urbanization process, the issue of urban stray animals has become increasingly severe, emerging as a critical factor affecting public health, ecological balance, and social stability in cities. Consequently, the ethical foundation of China’s urban stray animal governance system faces significant challenges. Based on ecological holism, this study examines the ecological ethical dilemmas of urban stray animal governance inherent in traditional governance approaches. It emphasizes the necessity of recognizing urban stray animals as an integral component of the urban ecosystem, thereby enabling an ethical restructuring of governance system. Such an approach is expected to lead to a more humane, efficient, and sustainable governance pathway, ultimately contributing to the advancement of ecological civilization.
