[Objectives]Efficient tourist management is crucial for promoting the harmonious coexistence between humans and non-human wildlife.The clarification of the characteristics of tourists with different concepts of animal justice from a multi-dimensional perspective will have a profound impact on the effective management of the wildlife tourism market and the promotion of harmonious symbiosis between humans and wildlife.[Methods]Sample data were subdivided by factor-cluster analysis,and one-way ANOVA along with the least significant difference were used to examine the variations in empathic attitudes and animal-friendly behavioral intention of different types of wildlife tourists.[Results]Based on varying perspectives on animal justice,tourists can be categorized into three groups:weak animal justice,medium animal justice,and strong animal justice.The analysis revealed significant differences among these groups in terms of their empathic attitudes and animal-friendly behavioral intentions.[Conclusion]The management of wildlife tourism in the future should prioritize respect for market variations,the fostering of empathic abilities,and the promotion of animal-friendly behavior.This study empirically validated the scale of animal justice,introduced a new research viewpoint on wildlife tourism market segmentation,and further analyzed the distinct characteristics of tourists based on their animal justice orientation.Furthermore,it offered valuable insights for fostering the sustainable development of wildlife tourism and cultivating a harmonious coexistence between humans and animals.
