Being named as inspirational and moving, humans have interfered with them to an outrageous level...
Not long ago, a video of a bear mother and her son climbing a snow-capped mountain went viral, with over 10 million views in 2 days.
In the icy and snowy Siberia, a mother bear tried to lead her cub over a steep snowy mountain. The young bear was unable to hold on to the mountain and slipped down again and again and got up again and again. It was heart-wrenching and touching to watch.
Seeing that they were about to reach the top of the mountain, they could see their mother with only half a meter left...
At this time, the mother bear stretched out her hand to the little bear. Unexpectedly, the little bear suddenly fell and slipped directly. To the foot of the mountain. But the little bear still didn't give up and continued to climb over the mountains.
In the end, the mother and son were reunited and jumped into the distant forest together...
Isn’t it very cute? Isn’t it inspiring? Are you moved to tears by the great maternal love?
But is this really the case?
If you watch the video carefully, you will find that at 1 minute and 16 seconds, when the cub is about to reach the top, the mother bear does not want to help the baby at all, but deliberately slaps the cub in front, causing it to slide to the bottom. .
Why?
Because there is an uninvited guest following them along the way - a roaring drone.
Throughout the entire video, the mother bear is extremely anxious. She looks around and frequently looks up to the sky.
Scientists believe that when the cub was about to reach the top, the mother bear probably mistook the approaching drone as a raptor attacking the cub and pushed her child away. And under normal circumstances, mother bears rarely climb such dangerous snow slopes with their children.
We are always the ones who are moved. The whole mountain climbing process is anxiety, fear and panic for the mother and child of the brown bears...
Human beings’ naked interference with animals is criticized by us. In the name of inspiration and inspiration. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of how humans, from God’s perspective, wantonly influence, control, abuse, and even mutilate animals.
In recent years, due to the development of shooting technology and tools, I have seen many extremely "amazing" animal images. But you have no idea how some of the photos were taken.
In a video, the photographer titled it "Animals vs. Drones" to impress the public, but I saw the fear and helplessness of the animals. When they angrily hit the hard machine, they were subjected to How much unnecessary harm.
Even in non-extreme circumstances, the misuse of drone photography can affect the lives of animals.
Wildlife biologist Mark Ditmer found through research: When the drone is too close, the heart rate of the brown bear suddenly increases from 41 beats per minute to 123 beats per minute, a full increase of three times. They may even suddenly start running aimlessly out of panic, which is very dangerous.
Large mammals are affected, not to mention birds.
The People’s Daily once reported that drones were used to take pictures of a large number of swans resting on the shores of Qinghai Lake in winter. The originally peaceful swans were frightened and fled in all directions. The number of habitats dropped sharply, and there was even a drone incident. The tragedy of injuring a swan's wing.
Behind the stunningly beautiful pictures is the destruction of the normal lives of animals, and even cost them their lives.

Because the photographer kept chasing me while driving
Tired to death

Along the way
Falling off due to hasty escape Feathers can be seen everywhere

In order to take a close-up shot
an uncle actually strangled the neck of the bird with a smile
Are you shooting birds?
You are a bird abuser!
▼
Who dares to believe that behind some seemingly peaceful, warm and beautiful pictures are inhumane abuse and imprisonment.
This photo is very touching at first glance
But what you don’t know is that under normal circumstances
a baby bird that is not fully feathered will never leave. Nests
They were probably captured by humans
Or even fixed on branches
▼
I have lamented photography countless times The people are highly skilled
I admire the beauty of creation
But I don’t know that there are two words in this world
They are called “studio shooting” and “decoy shooting”
▼
What is studio photography?
All kinds of rare birds are kept in a small space
They are frightened and taken off in various ways
The photographers use long guns and short cannons to catch them. Capture "beautiful" moments
▼
And the bait is to use food as bait
Let the birds continue to eat in order to achieve the purpose of shooting
For example, fix mealworms to lure birds
Take a photo of the appropriate pose and then remove the wire and bugs
Sometimes birds will swallow the bugs and pins together

Another example is to stuff foam into the belly of a fish
so that the fish can always float on the water
This will attract endangered gray animals. A fishing eagle hunts for food
The bait and foam went into the bird's belly

For one's own greed and selfish thoughts
Humans can do whatever they want
Who dares to believe
The funny Cure Frog that once hit the Internet
This is how it was filmed
Thread the fishing line through your fingertips
Remove the fishing line after taking the photo

This little tree frog was captured by the photographer
Position yourself and fix it here
The lower limbs are red due to congestion

The snail crawled across the back, and the frog remained motionless
Because it is stuck and cannot move at all
It will remain in this position until death
This is the warm encounter between the frog and the snail

Fishing line fixation, wire binding, and glue sticking
All these cruel tricks
Just to make a satisfying blockbuster

Is this the love that many sanctimonious people say? Can humans be more cruel?
Sadly, you can.
A real circus performance scene: The tiger was unable to continue due to physical discomfort. The trainer used a whip, poured cold water, and pulled its tail to stimulate it. Even though the tiger kept twitching and collapsed, it was still forcing it. It completes the show.
It was sickly and collapsed on the stage, which made people feel distressed. Is this still the majestic king of beasts?
Such cruel treatment in public, what will happen in invisible places?
The animals are smart, flexible and happy in front of the stage, but what awaits them behind the scenes is a bloody whip.
The reason why bears in circuses can stand for long periods of time is because they have been hung up with chains around their necks since childhood. Their feet just touch the ground. If they do not maintain an upright position, they will suffocate to death.
The animal trainer uses intimidation and violence to keep the animal balanced on the shaking board, jumping obstacles, rolling balls, doing handstands...? It's all like this.
Many of them began to undergo devil training when they were less than 1 year old. They were enslaved, shackled, and whipped all their lives, until they finally became old, weak, sick, and disabled, and died in pain.
In Thailand, elephant painting is a popular project. With the instructions of the trainer, the elephant will stick the paintbrush with its trunk and draw baby elephants, trees, etc. Viewers praised him for his intelligence, and the circus made a lot of money.
But you know what? The brushes used by elephants to paint are forced into their trunks, and are pinned to the mouth of the elephant's trunk with cross-tied wooden sticks to prevent them from falling off. There are faint traces of blood on them.
The trunk is the most sensitive part of an elephant’s body. It’s hard to imagine the pain they endure every time they pick up a paintbrush.
No elephant is born with the ability to draw, they just have to.
In Thailand, baby elephants are forced to be separated from their parents when they are about 2 years old. They are driven into cages that are difficult to turn around and learn various skills to please humans.
Once they are disobedient and want to resist or escape, there will be this kind of barbed tool that penetrates their hard skin and pierces into their flesh.
People who have witnessed the training process of elephants described this scene like this: You can even hear the sound of skin cracking, accompanied by dripping blood and indescribable screams of pain.
There are only two endings to this kind of training:
1. The helpless and fearful baby elephant gradually gives up resistance and becomes obedient under the double torture of body and mind.
2. Continue to resist until you are beaten to death.
A baby elephant that has been successfully trained will then go through a cycle of performing and being beaten until it can no longer jump, draw, or walk...? Then it will be disposed of.
The elephant named Nandan below has been chained for 20 years and cannot even lie down properly to sleep.
Seeing this, do you still think that animals are looking forward to hearing applause and praise from humans?
They always need only one thing - freedom.
Don’t disturb, that’s the best kind of gentleness.
Animals on land are controlled, suppressed, and abused, and animals in the ocean cannot escape their fate.
In June this year, a video of a trainer putting lipstick on a beluga went viral. The beluga was pinned in place, dumbly at the mercy of the trainer, looking funny and helpless.
The animal trainer gained attention and the onlookers laughed, but this seemingly beautiful red lip is very likely to cause skin infection in the beluga whale.
Whales and dolphins always seem to be smiling, gentle and healing, but if you understand the process of their capture and training, you will know that this smile is wrapped in endless pain and sadness.
Tilikum, a male killer whale, was captured in the Atlantic Ocean when he was 2 years old and was subsequently sent to an aquarium for training.
During the day, it was forced to do various fixed actions, and if it couldn't do well, it wouldn't be given food.
At night, he was locked up with two adult killer whales in a pool that was 30 meters long, 15 meters wide, and less than 5 meters high (an adult killer whale was about 10 meters long). Because of his weakness, Tilikum was often bullied Got scarred.
Soon after, like many orcas in captivity, Tilikum developed a collapsed dorsal fin, a condition that is rare in wild orcas.
The high-intensity training performances and the bullying caused Tilikum to suffer from gastric ulcers, and his anger and hatred grew day by day.
In 1991, the long-simmering hatred broke out. Tilikum dragged the animal trainer to the bottom of the pool and caused him to drown.
Immediately, Tilikum was put up for sale.
As time passed, Tilikum slowly grew up and became the most popular person in the new "family" and the most profitable "star".
Tilikum, who should have been swimming freely in the ocean, now performs 8 times a day, 1 hour each time, 7 days a week, without rest.
At the same time, his depression became more severe, sometimes gloomy, sometimes irritable, and he was often injected with sedatives.
In 1999, Tilikum committed his second murder. One early morning in June, people found the body of a man on Tilikum's back, covered with scars.
In a performance in 2010, Tilikum dragged Dawn into the water, which he had been with for 10 years, and almost tore Dawn into pieces, as if he wanted to vent all his hatred for mankind.
A few minutes later, Dawn stopped breathing.
Dawn and Tilikum
Do you think killer whales are born cruel? So far, there has never been an unprovoked attack on a human by a wild killer whale. Zoologists believe Tilikum was not murderous, but simply insane.
Driven crazy by humans.
After this incident, Tilikum was placed under house arrest. In this small pool with his head and tail touching the wall, Tilikum often floated motionless on the water.
Sadly, in captivity Tilikum still demands to contribute to the good of humanity.
Until Tilikum's death, it was harvested for sperm to reproduce. Tilikum gave birth to 21 baby killer whales in her lifetime, but she never saw her own babies.
Performing during the day and returning to the dark "bathtub" at night, with difficulty breathing, lung infections, gastric ulcers and depression all year round, Tilikum lived this way for 34 years until 2017. , Tilikum ended his painful life at the age of 36.
At about the same time, a wild killer whale passed away. It had been swimming in the Pacific for 105 years.
The suffering Tilikum suffered throughout his life also happens to other imprisoned marine creatures.
A dolphin in Japan was killed when it was only four days old. It was found covered in injuries, and the murderer was actually the mother of the calf.
In order to prevent their children from making the same mistakes, dolphins with strong maternal instincts would rather choose to end their children's lives with their own hands.
When you pay for animal performances, the aquarium will not tell you that in captivity, the mortality rate of killer whales and dolphins is three times that of the wild, and their life span is only one-third.
These animals use their tragic fate to accuse human beings of cruelty.
So, stop giving their "smiles" the name of happiness. Being forced to leave their parents at a young age, living in a small and closed space for the rest of their lives, with endless training and performances, no companions and no children... How can such a life be happy?
All things are animistic, and they are also someone’s children, someone’s lover, and someone’s parents.
Their destination should be mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, not narrow cages. The meaning of their existence is the sacred and beautiful freedom of life itself, not to make mankind smile.
A killer whale named Keiko was resold many times
The moment he returned to the sea
It happily jumped out of the water repeatedly
▼
The seals in the aquarium returned to the beach for the first time
The moment they opened the cage
They rushed to the shore excitedly
< p> ▼The tiger returned to the forest
The first time he really stepped into the river
It stayed in the water for a long time
Feeling That strange and comfortable coolness
▼
If you can't save them from fire and water, at least don't be an accomplice in killing them, stop buying tickets for animal shows, and tell your children how precious life is.
Every time you forward it, every appeal is a bird, a grizzly bear, a dolphin, a killer whale...? The hope of returning home and living a happy life.
I hope that one day, all free souls will no longer be trapped in cages, the chains will be smashed, the pools will be destroyed, and their home is the sea of ????stars.
