Recently, the Korean documentary "Human-Animal" , starred by Park Shin-hye and voiced by Kim Woo-bin, received a high score of 9.5 on Douban.
Some netizens said: "This is the first show in 2020 that will dry my tears. "
Because animals on this blue planet are like mirrors reflecting our human behavior!
And at the beginning of the show, Jin Yubin's sentence directly to the soul:
"I think I like animals, and there is no sense of resistance, but does that really mean that I like or love animals?"
has triggered countless people’s reflections. : Do we really love animals as we think?
Park Shin Hye just arrived in Kasane, Africa, and witnessed the hunting of an African elephant. Even though
did a lot of homework and psychological preparation before coming, this cruel and shocking scene still made her emotionally collapse instantly. When
approached, she found out that the elephant had no face.
The death of elephants originated from ivory.
Because one-third of the ivory grows in the skull of an elephant, the poacher chopped off the entire face of the elephant and took away in order to obtain a more complete ivory.
and then the long trunk was randomly discarded aside.
But the most unacceptable thing is that in order to avoid gunshots from being discovered, and to save bullets to kill more elephants, poachers will try to reduce the number of shots.
The adult African elephant has a huge body. In order to make it unable to fight back and unable to move, they cut off the elephant's spine.
So, when was sawed off his entire face, the elephant was still alive...
was like "Ling Chi", witnessing his own death in a fully awake state.
Beginning in 2017, the circulation of ivory has been banned internationally, and various countries have also issued relevant bans, but they still cannot stop the malicious acts of illegal poachers.
On the contrary, since the illegalization of the ivory trade, more and more poachers have taken risks for the benefit of .
The price of ivory on the black market has become higher and higher as the ivory is destroyed again and again.
In many countries in Southeast Asia, the prices of ivory handicrafts that have been meticulously crafted have risen even more, and have fallen into a desperate vicious circle.
then "death", it became the most common thing in this land. After
bid farewell to the dead African elephant, Park Shin Hye followed the conservation organization and encountered a fainted elephant. After checking
, it was discovered that was an elephant that had just died suddenly.
is still there, and there is no trace of being hunted, so it can be ruled out that it was done by poachers.
However, even if escaped hunting by poachers, this huge African elephant still failed to escape and died in a severe drought.
is different from the "vast African savannah" in "Animal World" in our childhood memories.
In this land cracked by drought, there is no vegetation, no water, no food, the elephant herd has to increase the range of movement in order to find a habitat.
But often before finding a new source of water, he suddenly died on the way...
is like what Mike Zeiss, a conservation expert on the show said:
"The existence of humans is a threat to elephants."
" Even if hunting is aside from private hunting, the most immediate threat is to make them lose their habitat, and all the food and water they need is gone. The second episode of "
, the second episode, came to Thailand, which is closer to us. Liu Haizhen, guest of
, came to Chiang Mai again after ten years. His current mood seems to represent the vast majority of travelGuest:
"I just looked at it at that time. I thought that there were so many elephants in Thailand. In fact, I didn't think deeply about the life of elephants. "
"Elephants seem to be some distance away from me. "
The Asian elephant , as a distant relative of the African elephant, lives mainly in the tropical rain forests of Southeast Asia, but has the fate of reaching the same destination by different routes.
In the Elephant Ecological Park in Chiang Mai, there are 17 blind elephants.
They have all been abused by humans, but unlike the shotguns and chainsaws on the African grasslands, the "weapon" here is the most common slingshot or long stick.
Affected by the local traditional culture, Asian elephants will be ridden by people for transportation on foot, temple sacrifices, circus performances and other occasions. According to statistics, more than 90% of elephants in Thailand are used in tourism products.
For example, , a female elephant named "Tikiri", was 70 years old when it was discovered by the protection organization , but due to chronic severe malnutrition, it was only skinny and bony.
Even so, "Tikiri" was still shackled and sent to a lively religious celebration.
During the ten-day blessing activity, the frail and old "Tikiri" could not lift his legs completely and could not close his eyes.
But the breeder still held the whip and kept driving it forward.
When the event ended, took off the "Tikiri" of the celebration costume, revealing a skinny body, which was the result of more than 50 years of cruel enslavement.
A month later, "Tikiri" died.
I don’t know if people get the blessings they prayed for, but "Tikiri" finally ended its tortured life...
However, the tragedy will not stop there.
is just like Liu Haizhen’s question: Why do wild animals such as work so obediently until they die of old age and starve to death?
because of humans.
in order to achieve the purpose of domestication, in order to obliterate the wildness of elephants, in order to bring these behemoths to submission.
People forcibly took the baby elephants under two years of age away from the mother elephants, and imprisoned them in a cage that was almost impossible to escape.
was banned for ten days, suffering from torture with acupuncture and brutal beating all over the body, causing them to lose themselves and give up struggling in extreme pain.
Then, for these little elephants, the long and painful life of has just begun...
until they die of old age and disease, until they lose their value, the story of "Tikiri" will be repeated over and over again.
However, the elephant is a very intelligent animal.
They have a good memory, they know who they are, what they are going through, and they have a very close family sense of belonging.
will be so sad that he refuses to eat after witnessing the death of his family.
will also cry silently after being rescued by the protection organization.
Therefore, elephants will remember what humans do forever.
is good or bad.
There is an "Elephant Orphanage" in Botswana, Africa.
One of the baby elephants, who was born less than 2 years ago, suffered psychological and physical harm because he had witnessed the murder of his parents, .
And the reason why it was able to escape is because it has not grown "valuable" ivory.
Now, under the 24-hour uninterrupted and meticulous care of conservation experts, this little elephant finally emerged from the shadows and grew up slowly.
will return to nature and elephants in the near future.
But as Park Shin-hye worries: "In the future, when these young elephants grow up with tusks, they will become the target of poachers." The limited protection speed of several people will never catch up with the greedy hunting speed of a group of people , more What's more, behind the greed of this group of people is more ignoredThe “consumers” that you see, and a more far-reaching chain of interests.
In September 2019, the Botswana government lifted the policy of banning elephant hunting and allowed hunting.
And 40% of the elephants in Africa live in Botswana.
Although the days in the "Elephant Orphanage" are very good, there are human partners who love them, as well as plenty of food and water.
But for wild animals, nature is their real home , they should have more free living space.
is not a small protected area framed by this side.
Gao Xiaosong once said: "Humans are the most special species in the world. But when survival is within reach, we forget that we are only one of these thousands of species."
will not be until disaster strikes us. Suddenly awakened: The wildfire, a drought, the extinction of a species, and the disappearance of a city at
are all closely related to each of us.
all say "after the gunshot, there is no winner."
now put down the gun in his hand, maybe it’s too late... part of the picture of
