Although many diseases are related to animals, the real perpetrators are human beings themselves. Infectious diseases are like the sword of Damocles hanging over human heads, which may kill the "Lord of Nature" on the earth at any time. In the case of being trapped by the disease and fruitless, people do seem narrow-minded and stingy, and animals are speechless, but this is the case. More people like animals because of selfishness, not because of aesthetics. More people have fully exposed the ugliness of human treatment of animals, and human beings have targeted the helpless animals.

Cattle is the host of mad cow disease, killing cattle; Chicken is the host of avian influenza, killing the chicken; Dogs are the host of the Black Death, killing dogs; In June 5438+10 last year, it was rumored that rabies occurred frequently in Guangdong, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dogs being killed with sticks. When people found and suspected that civets were the "culprit" and host of SARS, the action of killing 1 10,000 civets in Guangdong Province caused an uproar. Are the perpetrators of SARS animals or people? Does killing civets violate the principle of animal protection? ...... For thousands of years, civets have been living in the wild, and they live in peace with human beings. If humans do not invade the territory of civets and keep a distance from them, SARS coronavirus will not automatically infect humans. It is human ignorance and greed that make many people cross the line and get in close contact with civets again and again, which leads to an unprecedented SARS disaster. The real "culprit" of SARS is not some wild animals such as civets! It is a barbaric habit of eating wild animals and an illegal act of slaughtering and managing wild animals!

Zhang Zhibin, director of the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that the spread of epidemic diseases is rooted in the uncontrolled exploitation of nature by human beings, which pollutes water and air, cuts down a large number of trees and breaks the balance between human beings, animals and nature. It is also inevitable that human beings will be punished by nature. We should face up to one thing: SARS is not only a disaster in human history, but also a punishment from nature. "Those who fly in the sky don't eat airplane wings, those who run on the ground don't eat car tires, those with four legs don't eat tables, and those with two legs don't eat the same kind", which was once a great pleasure for Cantonese people. According to the rough statistics of wildlife protection organizations, Shenzhen people eat nearly 20 tons of more than 30 kinds of wild animals every day on average. The daily trading volume of snake meat in Guangzhou is as high as 10 ton. In Shanghai, nearly 1000 tons of wild snakes, more than 50 tons of wild frogs and more than 50,000 wild birds become a "delicious feast" on the plate every year. The direct consequence of eating game is that the number of wild animals is decreasing rapidly. According to statistics, Hainan Province, known as the "bird kingdom", had 350 species of birds 20 years ago, and now there are only less than 2 10 species left.

Although medical scientists have always suggested that wild animals may carry harmful substances, this will not hinder people's persistent pursuit of their delicious food. There are even "nobles" who are proud of eating rare animals in order to show their taste and status. However, related experiments have confirmed that the outbreak of some epidemics is related to the bad habit of killing wild animals. When people indulge in games to satisfy their appetite, the magic bottle of virus is opened again and again. Nowadays, I don't know how many animal species are on the verge of extinction or even extinction under human teeth. Natural scientists estimate that dozens of species are extinct every day, and this process is greatly accelerated by human activities. The World Conservation Union (IUCN) has listed 5,205 species in the "Red Warning List" 1996. Are facing the fate of extinction. There are many reasons, including the destruction of natural habitats, introduced species and the destruction caused by human hunting. Many species, such as elephants, rhinos, wild tigers, giant pandas, birds and other animals, will face a similar fate to dinosaurs if no protective measures are taken. According to the latest statistics, there are currently 180 species of mammals in an endangered state, of which 1/4 is extremely endangered; 182 species of birds are also endangered, and one eighth of them are endangered. Because birds and mammals are huge and eye-catching, their endangered state is more easily noticed, but in addition, a considerable number of fish, insects and plants are quietly extinct around us ... According to the statistics of the United Nations Environment Programme, among the existing 6,543.8 billion species, birds are extinct every two years, and mammals are extinct every year. The future trend is that plants will be extinct at the rate of one species per hour, and animals will be reduced by one species every day. At such an amazing speed, people can't help asking, how long can this last 654.38 billion species survive on the earth? It is reported that dinosaurs lived on the earth for 70 million years, while humans only lived for 3 million years. According to the current resource utilization rate, the current underground energy is only enough 170 years. /kloc-what will happen to mankind in 0/70 years? Is there 3 million years left?

Of course, "coming back from the dead", the tragic story of animals will never be finished. In addition, many rare animals and plants are about to leave mankind. For example, there are only about 1000 pandas left in the wild; No more than 100 baiji; White-armed apes, 50 ~ 70 in the wild; South China tigers, there are only 50 in the zoo; Finger monkey: 1966 I have seen 9 monkeys, and their fate is unknown. It is worth reminding that the number of Tibetan wild camels in China is less than that of giant pandas! When all animals and plants are artificially extinct, can lonely humans survive? When the last tiger searched for a mate in the forest in vain, when the last eagle without offspring fell from the sky to the earth, shouldn't human beings see their own end?
