尽管遭到批评,但是正如亚洲动物基金创始人兼CEO谢•罗便臣所见,越来越多的中国人开始关心动物保护。
“When I first began working in the country from 1985 there was one welfare group in Beijing and now there are over 100 spread across every province,” Robinson said on the website of Animals Asia. “Today, we work with them to give a voice to wild and companion animals and provide a convincing argument as to why they should no longer be exploited as entertainment, ‘medicine’ or food.”
她在亚洲动物基金网站上写道,“1985年,我刚来到中国工作时,只有北京一家动物保护组织,而现在全国的动物保护组织已经超过100个,覆盖了全国各省。我们现在与这些组织一道努力,为野生动物及宠物发声,告诉人们为何不应将其作为娱乐的对象、‘药材’或是食物。”
But a lack of knowledge about animals’ habits and needs may lead to some wrongs.
但是,不了解动物的习性与需求,也可能导致一些错误的做法。
“Many people may think getting cuddly is an expression of love. What they don’t realize is wild animals need space,” Xie Yan, a zoologist and China director of the US-based Wildlife Conservation Society, told The New York Times. “Putting clothes on chimps is not as adorable as you may think from the animals’ point of view.”
解焱是总部位于在纽约的国际野生生物保护学会的动物学家与中国项目主任,他在接受《纽约时报》的采访时说:“很多人觉得爱抚是爱的表达,但他们不知道野生动物更需要空间。人们觉得给猩猩穿上衣服很可爱,但是在动物眼中却是另一回事。”
