Chapter 341: Wolves, Deer, and Humans
Zhou Bichang shook his head after hearing this and said.
"This should have something to do with the character of the tiger, as you said, fighting bravely. It's nature, it's because they don't become our pets. Therefore, they retain this layer of nature, which is why they sometimes make mistakes. ”
After hearing this, Liu Chang shook his head with a smile.
"Brother Zhou, I don't think what you said is right, not at all. It is the nature of tigers to fight bravely and ruthlessly, but in my personal opinion, this is not the category of fighting bravely and ruthlessly! What do you say? Could it be that the performance of fighting bravely and ruthlessly is hurting human beings? Brother Zhou, I think your statement is a little far-fetched, right?"
"But why doesn't that count?"
"Of course not. What does it mean to be brave and ruthless? What is a person who is brave and ruthless? What is he doing to deal with those powerful and evil forces. At least, it's against opponents who are stronger than you, or about the same. Don't admit defeat and have the courage to fight. It's a spirit of fighting hard, but I don't think it's a derogatory term on some levels. If a person knows how to pretend to be a man every day, he bullies those beggars on the side of the road every day, bullies those who are disabled, the elderly, the young, the sick, and the pregnant. Do you think this person is called fighting bravely and ruthlessly? Personally, I think that this is not fighting bravely and ruthlessly, but it is completely a perverted psychology of bullying people. In the same way, do you think it is difficult for a tiger to bite someone to death?"
"This..."
Zhou Bichang shook his head.
Liu Chang smiled and continued.
"Since it is not a difficult thing, then in other words, human beings, when they have no weapons, are absolutely vulnerable in front of tigers. It's not even as good as those sika deer. They can still run, and we humans -- can you run against a hungry tiger? It's absolutely impossible. Therefore, I think that when a tiger hurts people, it is not a fight for courage at all. In my opinion, this is an inevitable event, not an accident. It seems to me that the tigers here are not happy and not happy. I said a long time ago, I said that although tigers hurt people, it is not the nature of tigers to hurt people. Everything has a cause, and the reason why a tiger hurts a person, in my opinion, has two reasons. ”
Looking at Zhou Bichang, who was listening carefully, Liu Chang smiled and said.
"The first reason is that the tiger hates humans. Of course, I'm not talking about a group, I'm talking about a group. Specifically referring to the tigers that hurt people, they are hateful to humans. Perhaps, they feel that they have been violated. I can't control everything about myself. This is not the life of a king, who should be in control of everything. Of course, most of the people who have this reason are not the kind of tigers who grew up here. And the second reason, in my opinion, maybe the tiger has forgotten that he is a tiger. They are born with food and clothing, so they don't need to hunt by nature. They come to reach out for food and open their mouths, and they don't need to run around for food. You don't need to fight for turf, or even worry about other animals invading your territory while you sleep. They live very, very comfortably every day, and they become lazy, they lose the interest in life. Slowly, they even forget that they are a tiger and that they are a king. ”
Liu Chang smiled and said.
"For example, I think you should understand what I mean. You've probably heard the story of wolves, deer, and people, and a meadow, a herd of wolves, a herd of deer, and a herd of people. Deer eat grass, wolves eat deer. And because wolves sometimes hurt people, while deer do not attack humans. So, the people there see the deer as a friend. As their own friends, they have to run every day to avoid the pursuit of wolves, and humans feel that this is a very unhappy thing for them. So, one day, the people decided, picked up the shotgun, and carried out a wolf slaughter operation. Overnight, all the wolves in the steppe were killed. Deer no longer have predators, they don't need to sleep standing up, they don't need to sleep with one eye open. Since then, they have lived a life of food and clothing. In people's eyes, this is a very, very good thing. And at first, they were convinced that they had made the right decision. Because there is no wolf predation, the number of deer is slowly increasing. They also live and seem to be a lot happier. However, the good times were short-lived. Without the wolf's pursuit, the deer would no longer need to run. They slowly became lazy, and they began to get comfortable. They don't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, because humans have helped them settle everything. However, as the number of deer grew, the grasslands slowly turned into wasteland. At first there were only seventy or eighty deer, but slowly, it became four or five hundred. However, what has not changed is the amount of grass on the grassland. Under the consumption of deer, there is not much grass left in the grassland. At this time, the deer was not full of food and had nothing to eat. They began to slowly emaciate and slowly become civil strife. Then, the grass became scarce, and the deer began to die in large numbers because they did not have enough food. From four or five hundred, it eventually became forty or fifty. People begin to reflect on themselves, and they discover something. Without the restraint of wolves, it is absolutely impossible. Limited resources will be slowly consumed by deer. In the end, there was really no way, so people had to get three wolves somewhere else. However, these three wolves can easily prey on these deer. Because these deer can't run, they're too comfortable. However, with the wolf's re-restraint, the deer began to run again. The deer population slowly stabilized after another sharp decrease. Finally, it was back in equilibrium again. ”
Looking at Zhou Bichang, who nodded silently, Liu Chang smiled and said.
"What does this story illustrate? It's a question of balance, it's a law of nature. Human beings are not qualified to change this. Once human beings want to forcibly change, then the result will definitely not develop towards human imagination. In the end, help also turns into harm. That's what I'm trying to say. It's a no-brainer. ”
"Ah Chang, do you mean that our appearance has changed the balance of tigers? However, if we don't, the damage to tigers will be even greater, right? After all, even tigers have become world-class endangered and protected animals. However, the high price of tiger skins and so on will still attract a large number of illegal hunters. This is a problem that is not uncommon and has not been corrected. What do you say?"
Liu Chang waved his hand after hearing this and said.
"Now that I'm done with the story, I'm going to change it again, it's a very interesting thing..."10
