Pigs can talk
Tell everyone a story, Lao Wang suddenly wanted to eat pork, so he went to the pigsty to choose, just when he was ready to choose, the pig told him that he did not want to die, could he change it to chicken or duck and so on.
Lao Wang was stupid, and the pigs could talk. You might think it's a story, but this story could become a reality in the future.
Research reports
A study brought by an international team revealed that they were collecting 411 pig calls, and the more calls they made, the deeper the understanding of pig emotions, when scientists collected 7414 pig calls.
Through big data, we can know the entire process of pigs from birth to death, and the study has been published in Scientific Reports.
The researchers also said that we are actually doing this for the benefit of pigs, so that they can communicate and communicate with humans earlier. You heard that right, if people can understand what pigs say, what should we do when we eat meat in the future? So is this study good or bad?
The history of people eating meat
We humans have survived on the earth for 3 million years, from the very beginning of the Paleolithic Age, the weapons in the hands of human beings have undergone earth-shaking changes, the previous human beings hunted with wooden sticks and stone tools, and ate raw meat without any seasonings.
But with the advancement of science and technology, the way of life of human beings is getting better and better, and there is more emphasis on eating. After talking about people, let's talk about pigs, in fact, pigs were domesticated by ancient humans, and the ancient ancestors of domestic pigs were actually wild boars in ancient times.
Evolutionary history of domestic pigs
As we all know, wild boars have extremely strong aggression, but wild boars have complex feeding habits and eat everything, which eventually leads to their gradual hunting by ancient humans. With the increasing number of hunting, coupled with the instability of the climate and temperature at that time, the remaining pigs after hunting could not eat all, and could only be kept in captivity.
Gradually, wild boars also began to relax their vigilance, began to eat food fed by human ancestors, due to the factor of non-movement, pigs grow very fast, so humans gradually from killing pigs, slowly become pigs, after millions of years of evolution, active wild boars, gradually become do not love sports of domestic pigs.
It has become what it is now, if you let the human ancestors know that the human beings after the development of science and technology, before eating meat, you have to ask whether the pig agrees, I don't know whether the human ancestors will climb out of the ground and smoke him a few big mouths.
Empathize
As the masters of the earth, we have the ability to dominate this planet, and human beings will take good care of other creatures out of species synchronization. Imagine if we humans lived in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods full of behemoths, and we were reduced to food, we would still have the opportunity to help others.
At that time, you were counting on communicating with the T-Rex and changing food to eat? This is absolutely impossible. So the universe believes that pigs are originally human captive animals and food, do we have to ask them if they are willing before eating meat? I don't think it's necessary!
This article summarizes
Secondly, the study is not useless, as it is well known that farmers only know if pigs are sick or injured when they learn that they have abnormal behavior. And this study, through the sound of pigs barking, can fully identify the pig's emotions, the way of expression brought about.
For example, when a pig is sick, its call is like this. Farmers can then reduce more unexpected losses in a way that fully understands pig behavior. Do you think we should know what the pigs are thinking?
