道德政策議題，在已開發國家中扮演越來越重要的角色。因為自認「道德」的一方，常將自身的價值觀強加到其他人身上，視對方為「罪惡政治」，而引起對方公開或私下的抵制，這是形成政策無效率的重要原因之一。台灣的政治發展在歷經早期轉型正義、憲政架構等國家結構議題，以及當代的治理效率改革之後，已逐漸邁向後工業世紀，在此類道德政策議題頻繁出現之時，道德政策研究卻付之闕如，亟需學界補強。
本文透過「寵物業管理政策」運作的實證個案，顯示台灣公共行政學界慣常用來分析公共政策議題之理論，並不適合用來分析此政策的運作，而西方政治學界近年所建構的「道德政策理論」，則更能窺見政策運作的全貌。也因此，未來我政策學界及實務界除必須更關注「道德政策」議題外，並且需跳脫傳統政策思考的模式，引入「道德政策理論」的分析，才能更有效分析或解決政策問題。

Morality policy issues play a more and more important role in developed countries.
The major reason of policy inefficiency in these countries is that the members of “morality party” impose their value on the members of other parties which are recognized as “politics of sin”; as a result, it causes the opposite parties’ boycott in public or in private. Taiwan has gradually entered postindustrial era after went through transactional justice, constitutional framework reform issues in the early age, and contemporary governance reform issues. With these morality policy issues appearing frequently, there is a need of academic researches in this field.
Through the empirical case study of pet industry regulatory policy, we find these theories Taiwan public administration academic community usually use are inappropriate for this kind of policy. However, the ”morality policy theory” built by western politics academic community recently seems more appropriate for this policy. That is to say, our policy academic and practice communities have to concentrate more on “morality policy issues” in the future. Besides, we have to escape out of traditional policy model, and introduce “morality policy theory” perspective, so that we can analysis or resolve policy problem more efficiency.
