Recently, Hong Kong and Taiwan star Chen Qiaoen spoke out for the baby elephant Molly, calling on everyone to refuse animal performances.
Animal performance refers to the use of human training to make movements and behaviors against the natural nature of animals in order to achieve the purpose of entertaining the audience. Animal performances are just tools for people to have fun.
The baby elephant Molly was bred at the Kunming Zoo, left her mother at the age of 2, and was exchanged to Qinyang, Henan Province, to become a performance elephant.
如今，它的身体早已伤痕累累。 它不仅要承受练训的伤痛，拴上铁链失去自由，就连休息睡觉的地方也是满噪音和粪便。
在还是一个胎毛还未退去的小象，就被残忍的“训象师”要求做一些背违自然的物动表演训练，并受到“训象师”那根锐尖的象钩折磨。
It shouldn't be a squeezed money-making machine!
Not just this baby elephant, please refuse all animals to perform, they should have a natural environment. Humans should be their friends, not slaves.
Have you ever wondered how these animals have been tortured to present a wonderful picture of watching the performance? How much insider do you know?
The behavior behind animal performances is extremely inhumane, and watching animal performances is abetting abuse!
Humans sell for money, for animals to perform for money, to train animals, which is cruel and destructive to animal nature.
The object of the falcon must be a small elephant, and the elephant is already an adult and difficult to tame. So the elephant trainer would go out into the wild to catch the wild elephant, and within a few months of birth, he would separate it from his parents.
In order to tame its untamed wild nature, the baby elephant is first put into a small cage just enough to accommodate its size, with the aim of preventing it from sleeping on its stomach for several days.
When baby elephants are restless or trying to break free, ruthless elephant trainers will tie their limbs and necks with chains, then whip their sensitive noses with sticks, or stab them into their thick skin with high-voltage electric shocks, elephant hooks, spears, knives, and even axes to make them miserable. In this way, they become docile and well-behaved, so that they can obey the series of performance movements that the elephant trainers need.
Speaking of just a few lines, it may be that this process is really like a year for the baby elephants, and many baby elephants are tortured to death in the process.
Animals have no personality and no idea what they are thinking. But it depends on the position and angle.
Human perspective, animal performance, being able to earn money, gaining a sense of accomplishment, self-confidence, superiority. Reducing animal mortality, at least there is a zoo pension, in the empowerment of animal personality, can be seen as deprivation of animal will, enslavement, exploitation.
From the animal point of view, if you do not do it honestly, you will be severely punished, and there will be a reward for cooperation. In this way, he will only cooperate, lose the nature of animals, and willingly become a captive animal. What is freedom after all? I can't imagine it.
Rejecting animal performances starts with me.
Of course, there are also harmonious animal performances, basically the natural side of animals, similar to the pandas in douyin nibbling on bamboo, should not need to train much, put it on their own performance, at most lure it. I find this animal-like performance much more interesting than a bear wearing a top hat, a clumsy scholar riding a trolley, or a lion and tiger drilling a fire ring.
Animals should be free to run and forage for food in their own colonies. Instead of being locked up in a cage and whipped, disciplined. Maybe we can't help animals, but at least we can refuse animal performances and not be accomplices in animal cruelty.
"Little Elephant Molly" incident, we will continue to pay attention, please expose the truth, give us an explanation! If not, we'll keep it accountable!
If you don't love, please don't hurt, I hope that there will be more perfect supporting measures related to the law in the future instead of simply saving Molly.
Carnegie said, "Personalities must be equal." From the perspective of life, there is no difference between humans and ants. I don't think that because some animals have a short life, they must be inferior to humans and respect life.
When you start using them for your own benefit and no longer have an emotional need, you're out of the category of treating animals as family, friends, and companions.
We will eat other animals in order to survive, but it is despised to hurt animals for fun.
Be kind to the earth, be kind to the creatures on the earth, and hope that there will be no more "Molly" in the future.
Like can give a attention, Xiaobian will continue to share a different entertainment perspective, pay attention not to get lost.
