Yesterday I saw the video on the Internet, a mule carrying a large amount of weight up the mountain, coughing up blood while climbing. Tourists took pictures of mottled blood stains on the ground and reported them to the official of the scenic spot, which also resonated with many people on the Internet.
"Many" is certainly not all, because behind people's comments that "it's not a mule but a mirror", there are also others who retort that "this is animal protection propaganda with ulterior motives, and it's ridiculous that the media and people are not aware of it." If a mule does not carry heavy loads up the mountain, people will carry it, sympathizing with a mule, but not sympathizing with their fellow citizens. ”
Sympathy is just an instinct, and there are not so many assumptions at all. Just like people who eat meat, they will also have their true feelings about what happened to mules, which is many times more normal than those who say "only vegetarian" and "good for you".
Of course, I sympathize with the mules who coughed up blood, including the horses that had been scarred on their legs, with tears in their eyes, and trembling on the steps of the mountain road. This is not the "Virgin", this is a perfectly normal human nature.
Unable to do anything about suffering, it is not cruel. He who creates suffering should be ashamed.
To tell the truth, many times when I swipe the video of "how difficult people's livelihood is" posted by others on the Internet, and I know what the picture is at a glance at the cover and accompanying text, I will not and can't bear to click on the video to watch it. After reading it, it will only be uncomfortable, but there is nothing you can do.
But is this kind of "not clicking" cruel?
It is a natural law that human beings eat meat in order to survive. But inflicting harm and causing bloodshed outside the laws of nature is naked inhumanity. Is it "pretending" to condemn the cruel and evil devil who can make peace even though he wants to create wars, which will cause countless deaths, countless wives lose their husbands, and their children lose their fathers?
Of course not, it's just a normal human cognition, which has not been brainwashed yet, and has a view of right and wrong, and has its own cognition.
As for saying that if the mule does not carry heavy objects up the mountain, people will have to carry it, so it is a dilemma, and the mule can only be packed.
This is also the most hypocritical, like "you deserve to starve if you don't work hard."
I chatted a few words with the eldest brother who carried the burden up the mountain in a scenic spot in Anhui, I couldn't climb and sat down on the stone steps, he put down the burden and rested a little. "The small shop on my own mountain, I can afford to eat, and I only make two trips a day, and I don't climb if I don't climb more", "Those who are engaged in sanitation are hard, and I don't know how many trips they make, but it can be solved, and it would be good to recruit more people to share it"......
The eldest brother is very talkative and understands very clearly, it is nothing more than a matter of "degree".
People are supposed to work, and that is to be responsible for their own livelihood. But how long does it work? What works? Is there an income that matches the job? It's another question.
It is convenient for humans to carry things up the mountain by mules, and they are optional, but how much to carry is a matter of human nature. Let the mule bear the weight to the point of coughing up blood, and say "it should be like this", where does the "it should be"? Do you think you are the Creator?
In fact, many people really think of themselves as Creators, so they can squeeze donkeys and horses without restraint until they fall.
Later, I swiped the video again, and it was said that the mule coughing up blood was finally exhausted.
Just like I resist opening those videos of "life is difficult", I am not willing to write such "sensational" manuscripts, even if I write, I can't write anything, I can't incite feelings. At most, it's like writing an essay, saying two words that can't be more shallow.
"Look at the mule coughing up blood, compassion is nothing more than the most basic human nature. This is the most basic human nature, and it doesn't even need any resonance. ”
A European photographer, Anil Prabakar, has captured a series of photographs in the Borneo forests of Indonesia showing an endangered orangutan reaching out to help a geologist who has fallen into the mud. At the time, the geologist accidentally got stuck in the mud while cleaning up snakes, and the orangutan showed great compassion and reached out to try to help him.
Prabakar took those photos and capitated them with text. "In an age when the concept of humanity is dying, animals lead us to the principles of humanity."
I'm not 100% sure if it's a 100% real event, it's just been reported by the media abroad. But I think the accompanying text is quite right, in front of animals, many people, even unworthy of people.
