【Reordered article】A wild wolf in Hoh Xili, Qinghai, because it is often fed by passing tourists and drivers, has changed from messy and skinny to shiny coat and round body, which can be described as "judging two wolves". "Feed" the wolf out of kindness, right? In the vast no-man's land, I encounter a lone wolf begging for food, and I believe that many people's first reaction is "It's very pitiful and cute, feed some". However, with the increase in the number of tourists and the increase in the number of feedings, wolves that are supposed to survive in the Gobi Desert may become more dependent and less wild, and even seriously affect the cultivation of their natural foraging ability. Experts point out that well-intentioned feeding is also a violation of the animal's rules of survival. From helping butterflies break out of their "cocoons" and causing them to "can't fly", to blindly releasing exotic species such as alligator gars and scavenger fish, to zoo-living animals such as the orangutan "Sentai" that suffer from diseases and even die due to frenzied feeding, past cases have all reaffirmed the iron rule of following the laws of nature and prohibiting improper intervention. Kindness that lacks the support of reason is sometimes not as good as imagined. It is important to recognize that feeding wild animals also poses a significant risk to the safety of individuals.
Wild animals that survive in the wilderness, especially injured animals, may carry pathogenic germs, and the "kind-eyed" wagging tail wolf is a beast of prey after all, and the possibility of attacking people cannot be completely ruled out. Therefore, we should keep our mindset, limit our behavior, and avoid blindly intervening in an already balanced ecosystem. There is a tendency to entertain the interpretation of such phenomena on the Internet, which is obviously not conducive to the dissemination of correct concepts. Some netizens ridiculed when expressing their surprise and novelty, giving people the feeling of deconstructing serious topics and covering up the real problems behind them. We must guide the public correctly, help the public see the essence behind the phenomenon, see through the reasons behind the problem, and then regulate our words and deeds, and reduce or even put an end to uncivilized practices, so as to ensure that our good deeds can really play a positive role. From a policy perspective, the relevant departments have been working hard. For example, the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base prohibits tourists from re-entering for life to curb the uncivilized behavior of feeding apples and other foods to giant pandas. In summary, the act of feeding wild animals, although well-intentioned, may cause damage to the survival rules of animals and even bring hidden dangers to the safety of individual humans.
We should recognize this, keep our mindset, limit our behavior, and avoid disturbing the balance of the ecosystem. At the same time, we should also correctly guide the public, help them see the essence behind the phenomenon, regulate their words and deeds, and reduce uncivilized practices. Government departments also need to strengthen management and supervision, and regulate public behavior by formulating relevant policies. Finally, I would like to ask readers, what are your thoughts and suggestions on the topic of feeding wild animals? Shanghai's wildlife protection regulations prohibit the feeding of wild animals, a measure to draw public attention to ecological balance. However, the act of feeding wild animals has become a habit, and some even see it as a sign of caring for wild animals. However, this kind of behavior is actually potentially risky and can upset the ecological balance, so we need to pay attention to this issue. From many people's perspectives, feeding wild animals is an act of love and care. However, this behavior can actually often have negative consequences. For example, in some scenic areas, wild animals such as monkeys and deer have lost their ability to find food in the wild and have become dependent on human feeding.
In this case, wild animals may lose their nature, leading to physical and psychological problems. Therefore, prohibiting the feeding of wild animals is a way to protect wild animals. We must recognise that banning the feeding of wild animals is not about starving them to death, but about restoring their natural instincts and allowing them to naturally find food in the wild. This requires people to understand the laws of survival of wild animals and respect their nature. If we throw food at wild animals, it can disturb their ecological balance and cause wild animals to lose their natural ability to find food in the wild. The prohibition of feeding wild animals is not only a moral and ethical issue, but also a need to protect the ecological balance. Wild animals coexist with humans and are part of the natural ecosystem. If we intervene in natural ecosystems at will, we may disrupt the ecological balance and lead to the collapse of ecosystems. Therefore, prohibiting the feeding of wild animals is an important measure to protect the ecological environment. Before the implementation of the Shanghai Wildlife Protection Regulations, some scenic spots had already taken measures to prohibit the feeding of wild animals, and achieved certain results.
For example, wild animals in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries have been able to get enough food through artificial feeding. In addition, some scenic spots have begun to carry out education and publicity activities to guide the public to understand the survival rules of wild animals and remind the public not to feed wild animals. These measures help to raise public awareness of wildlife conservation and promote harmonious coexistence between man and nature. With the continuous development of society, people's understanding of nature has gradually deepened. The prohibition of feeding wild animals is a way to promote the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and it is also a way to protect the natural ecological environment. Therefore, we should take the initiative to learn and publicize the knowledge of wildlife conservation, enhance our own awareness of conservation, and jointly maintain the ecological balance. In short, the prohibition of feeding wild animals is an important measure to protect the ecological balance and promote the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. We should respect the nature of wild animals, protect the ecological environment, and jointly maintain the harmonious development of human beings and nature. At the same time, the government, social organizations and the public should also participate in wildlife conservation and strengthen the popularization and publicity of wildlife conservation awareness. We believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, we will be able to establish a more harmonious and beautiful natural ecological environment.
