Gentleness is the cage of imprisonment. The animal kingdom's survival rules have never taught animals habits

Imagine that you are now in a place where you can rest comfortably by the pool, do spa treatments, Have fun in the recreation room. At night, you lie on a luxurious king-size bed with premium linens; the waiters are always on call and courteous to meet any of your requests at any time; the hotel even offers state-of-the-art medical services. You can bring the whole family to the hotel to enjoy all this, socialize and meet lots of new people. If you're single, you might find your significant other here. Best of all, everything is free! But there's one thing: once you're in a hotel, you can never leave.

Some people may feel good and want to stay in it all the time, thinking that this is not a bad thing. Compared with the unknown challenges and crises of the outside world, this place seems to be a fairyland on earth. But the animals in the park don't think like this. The animals in the zoo lose their wildness and at the same time endure being surrounded by people that their parents did not accept.

Of course, animals have no way of knowing whether tomorrow's food will appear as naturally as today, but the daily feeding of food causes animals to lose their survival instincts, even if they are used to it now. In the grasslands or other wild environments, they may not be able to continue to adapt to survive, because they have long forgotten the feeling of hunger, and only know that there may be food tomorrow, which is similar to boiling frogs in warm water.

In 2008, Bruno, a 29-year-old chimpanzee at the Los Angeles Zoo, slashed a hole in the mesh around its enclosure, but eventually found itself just running into another enclosure . Before managers managed to appease Bruno, 3,000 tourists were evacuated, but fortunately no one was injured.

In 2007, at the San Diego Zoo, a 4-year-old Siberian tiger named Tatiana crossed a 25-foot [illustrated] ditch, killing one visitor and injuring two. Tatiana was eventually shot dead. In 2004, at the Berlin Zoo, a bear named Juan dug out of the enclosure. Using a log as a skateboard, he successfully slid out of the deep ditch around the enclosure, gained freedom, and played a lap on the zoo's merry-go-round. , but was eventually sedated and brought back by zoo staff.

But this is a process. If the pressure is always there, because the environment is never the one they are familiar with, and they are surrounded by creatures they don't know, their lives are threatened, and their bodies There will be constant tension, physical and psychological crisis, until exhaustion. Although the facilities and conditions of the zoo are very good, the animals in the park still have to worry about their basic survival needs and feel anxious because they are afraid of being chased by predators, because they know that they are not surrounded by their own guardian angels, and their guardian angels are only themselves.

Do you know what this means for us? In fact, it is not a revelation. Compared with wild animals, we are only rich in wisdom and can create with both hands, but we are also living in a competitive society. The level of crisis is comparable to that of the wild world. getting weaker.
