I am a layman. I have eaten all kinds of animals, such as pigs, cows, sheep, dogs, chickens and rabbits. I am here to discuss whether advocating "stop killing" is false or hypocritical, because animals are also a life, and I am not a religious person. However, when it comes to animals, there are still many feelings in my heart. Seeing many human behaviors towards animals, I really beg to differ, and my heart is full of sadness. Draw a conclusion: people are arrogant and condescending before moving, and more often, one animal regards another animal as not life. Examples are as follows:
Chengdu produces a famous dish called raw digging nine feet goose intestines. It is said that the people who invented this way of eating just because it is fresh. It takes two or three geese to make a raw goose intestine. The key is that the process of digging will be unbearable. The butcher grabbed a goose with his hand and stepped on it with his foot. Then, the butcher grabbed the goose with his hand, cut a circle around the goose's ass with scissors, and then grabbed the goose's ass and pulled it up hard. Imagine how the goose would scream and faint slowly in severe pain when the foot stepped on the goose, the scissors were inserted into the goose's ass and the goose with its intestines cut off was thrown aside. That year, I had a meeting in Pengzhou, the origin of this dish, and the organizer specially took us to Jiuchi Town of this city for an authentic Jiuchi Goose Intestine. I didn't dare to say anything, I didn't dare to ask at that time, and I didn't dare to look in the kitchen.
Raw goose intestines are an example. It is said that eating monkey brain is very popular in the south, that is, shaving the head of a live monkey, then knocking the monkey's skull open with a shovel and scooping up the hot monkey brain with a spoon to eat. Monkeys are also close relatives of people, and people can finally get them.
In the past two years, reports about animal cruelty have appeared in the media. Fashionable girls step on kittens with high heels, Fudan University students kill kittens, and a college student in Beijing throws sulfuric acid at bears in the zoo to prove whether they are really stupid. Abusers use animals as a tool to vent their stress and pursue pleasure.
In recent years, the eating and drinking style has become increasingly popular in the society, and urban restaurants are scrambling to attract customers with "game", which has quickly spread from southern coastal cities to all parts of the country. Many newly rich people boast about the "game feast". There are not only general wild animals on the menu, but also national first-and second-class protected animals. People also know that wild animals can't be eaten, but often their owners joke that animals accidentally fell to their death to save themselves. Those who do it boldly do it, and those who eat it heartily eat it.
In fact, modern people should understand that the earth where human beings live belongs not only to human beings, but also to all living things on this earth. To enjoy welfare is not only the right of human beings, but also the right of animals. Every animal is an independent living body with distinct characteristics, and cruelty to animals causes extreme emotional pain and mental depression, comparable to human beings. The survival and interests of animals have never been divorced from human beings. Animals are priceless treasures left by nature and gifts from the creator. They are friends of human beings, and their birth, evolution, death and extinction are closely related to our human life.
What we are talking about now is harmony, which means respecting the nature of animals and the laws of nature. Caring for animals and being kind to animals can truly seek the long-term harmony between man and animals and between man and nature, which is not only the requirement of virtue, but also everyone's action program.
At present, our unkindness to animals, as well as the extensive poisoning and capture of wild animals, make a large number of birds and animals in China face extinction. At present, the extinction rate of animals is 1000 times that of geological period. On the other hand, it also encourages the proliferation of pests and mice, and the consequences are unimaginable. Steve Lent, president of the American Wildlife Rescue Association, said: "The ecosystem is a plane, and removing any part may cause the plane to eventually crash." When the dominoes of species extinction fall down one by one, can "human beings" be spared and doomed to extinction as one of them?
However, after so many years, like China, even human rights are not guaranteed, let alone worse than animals. But other countries on this planet are doing much better than China. It is reported that as early as the beginning of the19th century, some people in Britain proposed a bill prohibiting the cruelty to animals such as horses, pigs, cattle and sheep. At that time, the proposal was not passed by the House of Commons and was ridiculed. But by 1822, the world's first bill against cruelty to animals was first introduced in Britain. Subsequently, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands and other European countries have introduced similar bills. During his stay in Russia from 65438 to 0866, Berger, the special envoy of the United States to Russia, witnessed the horse being beaten by the groom, which was extremely painful. He believes that cruel treatment of living animals will lead to moral degradation, and a nation cannot stop its members from cruel treatment of animals, and it will also face the danger of endangering itself and the decline of civilization. After Berg returned to new york, with his efforts, the United States quickly established the Association for the Prohibition of Cruelty to Animals and quickly passed the Anti-Cruelty to Animals Act. Up to now, more than 100 countries around the world have enacted anti-abuse laws.
In countries with perfect laws and regulations, animal kindness has entered a higher level. For example, German law stipulates that dogs are not allowed to be sold and can only be adopted. Generally, you will be fined for hurting animals. If the circumstances are serious enough to constitute a crime, criminal responsibility shall be investigated in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Law, with a maximum sentence of 3 years. Abandoned dogs have to pay a huge fine equivalent to about 230 thousand yuan. A law of the parliament in Turin, Italy stipulates that dog owners can walk their dogs by bike, but the speed should not make the dogs too tired. If dog owners don't walk their dogs for three days in a row, they will be fined up to $650. According to British law, people who abuse animals can prohibit raising any animals. Even if the owner accidentally loses his pet, he will have to pay a fine of 25 pounds. So only laws can bring light to dumb animals.
We should make use of animals, which is an inevitable choice. Instead, we should consider how to use animals rationally and humanely, and try our best to ensure that those animals that have made contributions and sacrifices for mankind enjoy the most basic rights. For example, give them a certain living space when raising, minimize their pain when slaughtering, and reduce their unnecessary sacrifices when doing experiments. As long as we care from the heart, sometimes we will leave enough space for animals to be alone freely. Respecting and being kind to animals will ultimately benefit human beings themselves, and everyone should do so.
Ethics is not only related to people, but also to animals. Animals are as eager for happiness, feel pain and fear death as we are. Animals are not born clowns, nor do they exist for human food and entertainment.
Deeply realize that animals are also life, and it is people's duty to value and care for life. Finally, a quote from Darwin once said: "Humanity's kindness to animals is the noblest morality that humanity can inherit".
