According to the literature, in the pre-Qin period, there was a custom of releasing on the first day of the first lunar month. In the Liezi Sayings, it is recorded: "The release of Zhengdan shows grace." "After Buddhism was introduced to China, it vigorously advocated the release of life, and integrated with China's original release customs, and gradually evolved into a unique Buddhist festival, the release meeting, which became an activity for good men and women to accumulate merit and pray for blessings and self-preservation.
In recent years, I don't know if I really want to accumulate virtue and do good or bad things to do more than dark ghosts Anyway, more and more people have joined the group of release accumulation of virtue, and the animals involved in the release are all kinds of animals, from the common fish, shrimp, crab turtles, animal scale beetles to a variety of strange and strange foreign species that have traveled far and wide, and more pet players who are called releases are actually abandoned and also contribute to the rich species resources. In addition, a profession of hunting wild animals to meet the release needs of good people has also been bred.
The behavior of these great benevolent people is sometimes really admirable and hateful, some can add dishes to the locals and the indigenous people in the mountains and waters (such as releasing pheasants and hares bought from farms and other animals that have lost the ability to hunt in the wild), some have seriously damaged the local ecological environment (such as some predatory species that are not local species or have no natural enemies), and even more have brought direct harm to people (such as poisonous snakes, piranhas, etc.).
On the Internet, it is also often seen that the Yellow River of the Yangtze River or a certain river and lake finds that exotic species (as well as new species bred by mixed blood) flooding and destroying the native water environment and fish resources, the carp of the United States, the hare of Australia have become a disaster-level environmental problem known to the world, and the snails and crayfish are also flooded under the encirclement and suppression of Chinese foodies. In addition to the ill-conceived introduction of these problems, they are more caused by the ignorant release of "philanthropists" everywhere.
To this end, China's Wildlife Protection Law regulates the release of wild animals and other behaviors, requiring any organization and individual to release wild animals into the wild environment, should choose local species suitable for wild survival in the release site, and must not interfere with the normal life and production of local residents to avoid causing harm to the ecosystem.
The State Administration of Religious Affairs also demanded that the Buddhist and Taoist circles should further standardize the release activities, guide the religious believers to establish the concept of protecting the environment, and resolutely prohibit all kinds of release activities that violate laws and regulations, damage the ecological environment, and endanger personal safety.
Therefore, people who hope to participate in the need to participate in the release of blessings and accumulation of virtues must consider it carefully, and do not let those animals that carry their "virtues" become "killing" acts of the natural environment and the original ecological chain due to their own blindness and ignorance.
