A video, possibly from India, went viral on social media. A goat about to be sold on Eid al-Adha embraces its owner, crying like a man, crying like a man.
The video was posted by an account called Ramasubramanian V. Harikumar. In the video, the goat seems to have its eyes half-closed, its mouth closed, crying happily, as if she were very reluctant, as if crying for its future destiny.
Then the buyer reached out and touched its mouth, as if to comfort it. The cutter will be faster, so there will be no pain. Holding it, the owner was full of sorrow and speechless.
The next second the camera turns, the owner starts counting the money. Although you cried so badly, I still wanted to sell you.
The goat looked at the money transferred from the buyer to the owner, and seemed to understand that things were irreversible and helpless.
Netizens are not calm, many netizens left a message saying that they really cried after watching the video.
A netizen said: Even if they can't speak, animals have feelings and emotions, and they love their masters. If they are separated from their masters, their souls are harmed.
It is also said that a goat that was pulled to Eid al-Adha looked at its owner and cried like a human. One day, humanity will be held accountable for all this, and one day, nature will brutally attack us.
Some people understand the owner of the sheep, saying that although they do not want the goat to be sold, but the person who wants to buy it will always keep it, but the owner seems to need money, there is no way.
One immediately rises to the moral heights and responds that animals are not commodities. Will the owner sell his children because he needs money?
A woman said, tears down! Hope you don't sell.
It is also said that to understand the owner of a goat, he may need money to support the family or buy a dowry for his daughter.
One netizen was more realistic, saying that although animals have feelings, they are not so exaggerated. This call is just the usual cry of goats. Then I added, yeah, I'm just so heartless and lungless, because I have to live too.
But another man told him at once that I heard the sound of goats. They are not usually like this, and ruthlessness is not the only option.
In fact, the real netizens may be right. The goat's watery eyes, which look half-closed, are actually its pupils. The goat's pupils are rectangular, which can increase the depth of field of the object in the horizontal direction, making the front and back ground images clearer. This is the result of the long-term evolution of some herbivores. The transverse pupils and the eyes on either side of their heads give them a very wide field of vision and a very clear lateral panoramic view, and they can spot predators from different directions in time.
Plus, I felt like the cry of a goat. Just accompanied by sad music, coupled with the host's comforting action and helpless eyes, it really feels like I am in "Where Are You Going", and my days are numbered.
In fact, human beings are quite helpless, more and more civilized, more and more unwilling to hurt other lives. However, there are 7.5 billion people in the world, far more than many animals on Earth. They need billions of tons of food to feed every year, so they have to raise hundreds of millions of livestock and poultry. Every day is a massacre.
According to statistics, there are more than 20 billion chickens alive at any time on the planet. Humans don't know how many animals to kill every year to fill their stomachs, but what can we do? Life is about grabbing energy from the other person. Every protein is precious. It can only be said that encountering is misfortune. Just don't waste too much.
