The name of our village is Zhabaliang Village. Twenty years ago, the whole village took slaughtering as their occupation. Now, although there is no large-scale slaughter market, the bloody scene of killing cattle and sheep in the village will reappear every holiday.
The owners of two supermarkets in the village will slaughter live cattle and sheep and sell meat to people in nearby villages. A large amount of blood left by slaughtering cattle and sheep in front of the supermarket is strikingly printed on the bumpy road. Those lambs that used to play happily with their companions, and those calves that Cleisthenes called energetic, are destined to become delicious food on people's tables.
These dying little creatures!
They are also cute images in cartoons, children's songs and stories, and they are the wishful thinking of adults to educate or entertain the next generation. Children naturally like all kinds of small animals, so adults use children's nature to arrange those so-called great truths on animals, and make various film and television works, picture books and stories, trying to instill truth in children in this way. But in reality, people are so cruel to these little creatures. Children are infatuated with cute chicks, Pleasant Goat and GG Bond in cartoons, and witness adults waving butcher knives at these animals.
How ridiculous this is!
My husband recalled his childhood and said that whenever an adult wanted to slaughter his own lamb, he would cry and hold the lamb to stop the adult. Now, when he kills a sheep himself, he has no pity for the lamb.
The kindness and sympathy in people's nature have also passed away with the years. Is this maturity or depravity?
