ABSTRACT
This paper examined the rationality on the treatment to species of five major topics（the five major topics included : hunting , fishing , equipments of sports , moscots of games , trade marks of sports） in the contemporary sports through Kant's unique moral theory of categorical imperative. Thus this paper established a better rational philosophy of treatment to species by the following :
1. Making moderate amendment of Kant's idea on "Human being only undertakes indirect obligations for animals".
2. Elucidating that the rationality of treatment to species in sports should base on two prime statements of categorical imperative, the universal law and end in itself.
3. Exploring and presenting overall aspects for the negative assertions of the treatment to species in contemporary sports.
4. Eliminating theories based on hypothetical imperative, while sustaining theories originated from categorical imperative.
In conclusion, this paper illustrated that the direct obligations human being undertaken for animals in sports did not arise from the sensibility of human, but based on the rational respect.
