Maybe you don't have the same view as me, but please read the whole article and argue with me again
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > First of all, we have to know how the name "Chinese Pastoral Cat" came from</h1>
The "Chinese Pastoral Cat" is generally used to describe all cats living in this part of China except foreign breeds of cats. But to be honest, this name did not appear for a long time, and in just a decade or so, it became popular all over the country, subtly becoming a collective name for small domestic cats, small earth cats, and small wild cats. At the beginning, there was no name of "Chinese Pastoral Cat", and its appearance was accurately to follow the trend of "Chinese Pastoral Dog", so let's first talk about the origin of "Chinese Pastoral Dog".
I was the first group of people to devote myself to promoting the "Chinese Pastoral Dog", because there were many breeds of dogs in China at that time, such as the Sharpie, Jingba, Songshi, Shandong, Tibetan Mastiff, etc., but the most common rhubarb and small black living in the vast rural areas did not have a breed name, obviously Japan's Shiba Inu is similar to the Chinese rhubarb bloodline, and the Chinese rhubarb and the little black are genetically stable and fully meet the conditions for becoming a breed, so everyone in order to give the rhubarb uneven, "Chinese pastoral dog" This is where the name was born. We were committed to promoting the name and justifying Rhubarb.
Then, cat lovers found that there are so many small earth cats in China. Isn't it... Therefore, the name "Chinese Pastoral Cat" was born according to the translation of "Chinese Pastoral Dog".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" >why do people who promote the "Chinese Pastoral Dog" oppose the title of "Chinese Pastoral Cat"? </h1>
Some people will ask, you said that you are committed to promoting the title of "Chinese Pastoral Dog", so why tell everyone that there is no "Chinese Pastoral Cat"?
This is because the "Chinese Pastoral Cat" not only did not inherit the original intention and advantages of the "Chinese Pastoral Dog", but inherited its shortcomings and magnified it.
Now I am not willing to mention the name of "Chinese Pastoral Dog" again, because the original intention is to correct the name of Rhubarb, who knows the development of development, many marketing numbers use everyone's love, gradually in addition to rhubarb, small black, as long as they live in this part of China, do not know the dog, hybrid dog, and even some other breeds of local dogs are collectively called "Chinese Pastoral Dog", and this wind is getting more and more intense.
Some people say, aren't they all dogs? Life is equal, should breeds be noble?
It is equality, but is it really fair to the rhubarbs and blacks living on the land of China? Now instead of becoming breeds, no one wants to keep them, and their social status is getting lower and lower.
Let's take the simplest example
Two years ago, a rhubarb hit the breed dog circle and won the championship, everyone instantly boiled, all kinds of media reports, what "Chinese pastoral dog rises" "who said that the Chinese pastoral dog is not advanced" The call is getting higher and higher, but the face punch also comes so fast, the participating kennel immediately issued a statement - sorry, we are not Chinese pastoral dogs, we are "Chinese Tang dogs".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > the name "Chinese Pastoral Cat" actually harms the native Chinese breed of cat</h1>
"Chinese Pastoral Cat" inherits the shortcomings of "Chinese Pastoral Dog", but because at the beginning "Chinese Pastoral Dog" was a name specially prepared for rhubarb, and China's native breed dogs have been benignly developed, and China's native cats are in internal and external difficulties, and the name "Chinese Pastoral Cat" makes them worse.
China's native cats include the natural tanuki cat, the wilderness cat, the Jianzhou cat, and the artificial Shandong lion cat.
Wild cats are national second-level protected animals, and there is no way to keep them as pets.
After the unremitting efforts of the Great Wall Cat House, the Tanuki Cat successfully entered the breed cat preparatory list, but unfortunately it was suppressed and difficult by various foreign countries, and had to give up, and also withdrew from the breed cat preparatory list.
Although the Shandong lion cat has been jointly maintained by the local government of Liaocheng City, Shandong, it has achieved certain results and has also become a geographical indication of Shandong, but the cat who obviously does not lose the appearance of the muppet is "isn't it a Chinese pastoral cat" and "what is the original name of Oda", whether it is for this breed or the people who are protected, it is a blow.
As for the Sichuan Jianzhou cat, hehe, may I ask you who are watching have anyone seen it?
Our varieties are not recognized by foreign countries, and some people will comment: our own varieties, why should foreigners recognize them?
But dear, did we admit it ourselves?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="26" > the same as the world's small earth cats, the British earth cat and the Chinese soil cat is no different</h1>
When many marketing numbers are talking, they like to shout the Chinese Tanuki Cat as the Chinese Pastoral Tanuki Cat, and the Shandong Lion Cat as the Chinese Pastoral Shandong Lion Cat, which must be added to the word pastoral.
What's more, when introducing Chinese cats, it will be said: There are many breeds of cats in China, such as Sanhua, Xuan Cat, Tortoiseshell, Shandong Lion, Dark Cloud Treading Snow... Please big brother, sanhua, xuan cat, hawksbill turtle, cow cat is talking about the color, not the breed. Dark clouds and snow, golden tiger are also the ancient people's description of the flower color, nor is it a breed. Put the variety and the color together, there is no one who is true or false.
Why? Because there are still many small domestic cats and small earth cats in China, to win their favor, there will be traffic.
Some people have asked, why can't our little earth cat be called "Chinese pastoral cat", while foreign earth cats can become noble breeds / such as English short?
Then I can only tell you a cruel reality, the small earth cat is not unique to China, the British short is the breed cultivated by the British artificial intervention, but the British small earth cat and the small domestic cat are no different from the Chinese big orange, three flowers, and cows.
Don't say that the small earth cats and small domestic cats in Asia, Europe, America, Australia and other places are exactly the same, there is no difference, and it is very irresponsible to hastily name this kind of kitten "Chinese Pastoral Cat". This is also the most essential difference between "Chinese Pastoral Cat" and "Chinese Pastoral Dog".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > love is good, don't let love become a sharp blade of harm</h1>
Of course, out of the consideration of love and other aspects, people like to name the small earth cat "Chinese pastoral cat" and there is no problem. But what we should pay attention to is that we must protect the positioning and value that our local breed of cats deserves.
Some people will ask, why do you have to distinguish between varieties? Aren't kittens all the same and deserve equal love?
Obviously, it is an excellent breed, but because of the flooding of the Virgin's heart and the so-called "equality", it will slowly disappear and assimilate, and China will no longer have its own cats.
Although the Chinese tanuki failed to enter the CFA variety list, it is not because we do not work hard, but because of the unequal treatment and deliberate suppression of some foreign organizations.
Shandong lion cat there are many people fighting for conservation, in order to keep this breed and work hard, if according to personal opinion, I think Shandong lion is the most honorable cat in the world, but the current network public opinion environment to position it as a pastoral cat is extremely unfair, to improve its popularity and conservation work have become irreversible harm.
Sichuan Jianzhou cat was once popular in ancient times, the legendary "four-eared" cat is known as the god cat, and now it cannot be asserted that it has completely disappeared, but how many people have seen it? How many people will pay attention to it when it is classified as a pastoral cat? Although the Sichuan Jianzhou cat was eliminated by society due to wars and other factors, the artificial factor is not insignificant, after all, the Shandong lion cat that has the same encounter can occasionally see its figure...
So the name "Chinese Pastoral Cat" is to learn the name of "Chinese Pastoral Dog", the original intention is good, but in fact it does not bring any benefits, and scientifically it is very imprecise, and the kitten does not play a protective role, but the small cats and small earth cats have changed a nice name, and did not play a protective role, but hurt the chinese breed of cats. The only good thing is probably to satisfy the vanity of those of us shovelers who raise small domestic cats.
Finally, I rescued 4 small domestic cats, and I still have a big orange that is still being raised.
Our cats don't need to be recognized by foreigners, but first we have to recognize and protect ourselves
