南非高等法院推翻了2023年的一项裁决,这项裁决严格限制了国家动物保护局检查动物出口活体的能力,并裁定禁止摄影、录像和文件违反该组织调查和起诉动物虐待的法律授权。 South Africa’s High Court has overturned a 2023 ruling that severely restricted the NSPCA’s ability to inspect live animal exports, ruling that banning photography, video, and documentation violated the organization’s legal mandate to investigate and prosecute animal cruelty. 该决定适用于今后的出口,确认收集视觉和文件证据对于根据《动物保护法》进行有效监督至关重要。 The decision, which applies to future exports, affirms that gathering visual and documentary evidence is essential for effective oversight under the Animals Protection Act. 法院驳回了下级法院的狭义解释,指出政府机构不能取代国家动物保护局执行动物福利法的法定义务。 The court rejected the lower court’s narrow interpretation, stating that government agencies cannot replace the NSPCA’s statutory duty to enforce animal welfare laws. 虽然Al Messilah号船已经离开,但这项裁决为动物活体运输中的问责制开创了关键的先例。 Though the vessel Al Messilah had already departed, the ruling sets a critical precedent for accountability in live animal transport.
