Chapter 521: Gao Ming
Richard's move was not directed at Ben.
In Florida, Norway, and Iceland, he was active, and was even arrested and imprisoned for it, and spent almost a period of time in detention centers every year.
"A dolphin in the right place can help them make a million a year, and if you interfere, they will break your hand."
"My colleagues, Jane Tipson and Jenny May, were all killed, and we were protesting hunger strike to stop the dolphin trade in Norway, and on the tenth day I fainted and ended up in the hospital, and then Jenny became their target, followed her to the beach, and strangled Jenny to death with her belt."
"Oh my God."
Mu Garun was speechless, but only in awe of the old man in front of him.
As in previous street interviews, in Richard's view, Ben's slaughter of dolphins was just the work of a few small towns and governments.
This is not always the case with wild animals, which are much smaller than the river, but the large mammals alone have 800,000 wild boars, more than 4 million deer, 30,000 bears, and 150,000 monkeys.
Bi Fang explained to Mu Jialun: "There are not 20,000 black bears in the entire Chinese population, but in the island country, there are more than 30,000, so many that they need to be controlled by humans, so there are many deeper reasons for the slaughter of dolphins." ”
With so many black bears, killing a hundred may not be enough.
He said that his eating habits are a bit different in the major developed countries, most of the other developed countries are continental countries, and the central country also has large pastures, and the meat in these countries is mostly based on cattle, pigs and other livestock as the main source.
Since the country is small and volcanic, it is an inevitable choice to ask for food from the sea.
Even after the economy developed and the number of imported meat increased, the proportion of fish was much lower than before modern times, but it still played a more important role in the composition of one's diet than in other countries.
In such an environment, the behavior of catching sea fish and sea beasts is different from that of most people.
If you want to fish, there are fishermen, and you and dolphins are like hunters and wolves.
It's even a little different, in the past, hunters killed wolves to protect deer, and now they kill dolphins, what is it to protect?
Do they protect the seas that they fish in their own dry waters?
Obviously, he killed all the deer himself, and then turned his head to kill the wolf, saying that the wolf killed all the deer, so it is a bit immoral to control the number of wolves?
Richard felt that he did not recognize this, like a child who broke a vase, but refused to admit it, not because his own cat broke it.
"Some people say that if you eat beef and mutton, you have no right to blame killing dolphins or other animals, which is not right, after all, livestock and wild animals are different."
"Human beings breed livestock, make contracts with them with feed, collect their meat, and even solidify to the extent that one pound of meat is equal to several pounds of feed, which is a kind of equivalent exchange in the form of planting."
"But wild animals don't owe you anything, there are always those animals that are not suitable for eating due to various reasons such as population, and now humans have the responsibility to take the initiative to maintain the ecological balance, because human abilities have evolved too quickly in the past hundred years."
I drove into the mountains along the winding mountain road, and saw something that was shot down and pulled back.
Wild animals can no longer rely on mountains and dense forests to protect themselves.
It's the same at sea, "Moby Dick" knows that in the past, catching a whale was a life, which was a hymn to human hunting, a proof of courage, and a game between creatures.
This is the normal hunting relationship on the real food chain.
Now with a big steamer, it is easy to catch up, kill with one shot, and the crane will be hoisted up. Not to mention disemboweling, if necessary, it is possible to install a production line on the ship and make it into canned food directly.
As Denmark's largest fishing area, the Faroe Islands live a comfortable life of 70,000 yuan per capita by relying on commercial fishing fish such as herring and mackerel.
But even so, the locals still did not give up the tradition of killing whales, and carried out a large-scale hunting of cetaceans and dolphins under the gimmick of training the courage of teenagers, and instead of eating the meat from the massacre, they would rather throw it in the trash.
Almost every year, there are news reports condemning it, and the year before last, because the whaling was too noisy, so more dolphins were killed in retaliation······
In 12 years, Iceland and the Faroe Islands raised their mackerel catches from 630,000 tonnes to 800,000 tonnes despite ICES' advice, dissatisfied with the EU's mackerel quota.
It's the same thing this time. The slaughter of a few hundred in previous years suddenly soared to 1,428 dolphins this year, and a large number of dolphins that could not be eaten in time were thrown into the trash for no reason.
If humans let themselves eat whatever they want, it will be easy to kill all species.
In the past, you could eat food with a mouthful, but now that my per capita annual income is 40,000 ugly yuan, I still want to come from cetaceans, and I want a little more.
The change in food ethics is a long-term process, and there are always foods that we took for granted that we take for granted will slowly be removed from our recipes.
Foods that are not prohibited by law can be selected according to personal perception, and it does not have to be one-size-fits-all, and there is no need to force others to be consistent with oneself.
However, as a member of human beings, when enjoying meat stuffed with feed and chemicals made by polluting nature, we should be kind to nature within the scope of what we think is reasonable and within our ability.
Mu Galun understood it: "One is greed, the second is unwilling to admit mistakes, the third is the destruction of nature, and the fourth is bloody massacres, strange monsters, they are quite capable." ”
"That's right." Richard affirmed.
"If it were illegal to kill me, they would do it."
Thinking of the two companions who were still lying in the hospital, everyone couldn't help but nod.
Richard sighed: "Maybe everything is my fault, because the show "Dolphin Story" has created this multi-billion dollar industry, and the show has inspired people's desire to swim, touch, and kiss with dolphins. ”
"Nope." Bi Fang shook his head, "If you don't learn from Ma Zhe at first glance, according to historical materialism, as long as dolphins are still smart and have performance value, this industrial chain will appear sooner or later, and the difference is only sooner or later." ”
The car quickly drove past the town hall and after making sure that no one was following them, they came to the foot of a remote barren mountain.
Mandy opened a black bag, which neatly stacked dozens of raincoats of different colors, picked out camouflage raincoats and distributed them to everyone, taking advantage of the rainstorm and no one went out, all of them went up the mountain.
The torrential rain made the mountain road very muddy, and Jarrett almost slipped when he got down, but fortunately he was helped by Mugallen behind him.
"You two, you're too old to stay in the car." Mugallen pointed to Jarrett and Richard.
Richard shook his head, how could he be absent?
Jarett is not good either: "We have limited equipment, and I have to look at the whole bay to decide where to place the camera, otherwise I won't be able to make a good documentary." ”
The dirt on his feet grew and everyone felt that their shoes were at least twice as heavy, and Mandy accidentally stepped into a mud puddle and when he pulled them out, his shoes were gone.
Bi Fang poked the way-finding stick for a long time before fishing it out.
"Oh my god, I don't want to wear it anymore." Mandy was carrying sneakers covered in mud.
Bi Fang said: "If you don't want to wear it, you can be barefoot, if you don't want to be bitten by some strange insects, or scratched by sharp stones, a large area of blood flowed, and finally invaded by germs, first the wound began to suppurate, and then the entire ball of the foot began to swell, and finally became bloated, full of bruises, and finally had to amputate the entire calf is really a thigh......"
“okok..... Excuse me, I still want my legs. ”
Mandy begged for mercy again and again, washed the mud from her shoes with mineral water, put it on her feet, and helped each other to move on.
Not long after walking, a yellow iron sign blocked everyone's way.
It reads: "Attention Falling Rocks. "Beasts of prey. ”
The iron sign was so large that it blocked the entire way, and next to it was a barbed wire fence full of iron thorns, which spread all the way to the edge of the cliff next to it.
Richard smiled wryly: "If it doesn't rain, there will be fishermen patrolling the mountains here with knives, and this is a national park, and those fishermen told me, 'If things get out here, we'll be finished.'" That's what they said. ”
Bi Fang touched the iron thorns, walked to the cliff next to him, and then pulled everyone over the line of defense one by one.
After passing through the layers of trees, everyone could finally see a bay surrounded by mountains on three sides through the gaps in the trees.
"Is this Dolphin Bay?"
Bi Fang and Mugallen looked at the shallow bay below the mountain, the coastline was only tens of meters long, and there were low mountains on both sides, but it was such a narrow coastline where thousands of dolphin carcasses lay down.
Dolphins always follow their migratory route to Taiji, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and fishermen just have to wait for them to throw themselves into their nets.
More than a dozen fishing boats lined up in a row, and they put some long poles into the water with flanges at the ends, and then hit the heads with hammers, creating a wall of sound.
They take advantage of dolphins' sensitivity to sound and drive hundreds of dolphins to shore.
They were all running for their lives, from the wall of sound.
Once you enter the bay, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, as long as you stop the last exit with fishing nets, no dolphin can escape.
Every year during dolphin season, this shallow bay turns blood-red.
It was a real blood red, without any exaggeration, and from the satellites, it was even clear that the bay had turned into a red spot.
Dolphins that were not selected by the aquarium, no matter how big or small, were killed.
The massacre at Dolphin Bay was a masterful massacre, and its brilliance lies in the fact that it was a massacre that severed its heritage.
It kills all the frightened dolphins, who realize the cruelty and evil of humans, so that they still naively think that humans are their friends, and thus fall into the trap again and again.
