It wasn't easy for Richard to muster up the courage to speak up for the birds, but before it could finish, Fina and the others glared at it. Its courage was gone, and it quickly used Zhang Zian's head to cover its body to avoid their sight, for fear that it would be attacked and retaliated.
After waiting for a while, the retaliation it expected did not come, so it cautiously poked its head out from behind Zhang Zian's head.
To its surprise, Vladimir, who had been furious just a moment ago, had calmed down and said, "Richard is right. When I was in Binhai City, I also tried to restrain the stray cats from hurting small animals, at least not hurting small animals that are beneficial. Of course, we can't let go of mice and the like, and we don't have to worry about the danger of mice going extinct, but we can't prey on birds. Using materialist dialectics to analyze things, everything is the unity of opposites. Without black, where would there be white? Without the existence of mice, where would there be modern house cats? "
As it spoke, Vladimir seemed to be immersed in philosophical speculation. "Humans, of course, including cats, as a part of nature, can't be above nature and take unlimited things from nature. We must constantly adjust our relationship with nature, make it harmonious and unified, and meet our own needs under this premise."
It glanced regretfully at the bodies of the cats, but they could no longer hear the philosophy it was talking about.
Zhang Zian felt that these words were familiar, as if he had returned to the fear of being ruled by political textbooks in middle school.
Old Time Tea nodded slightly and reflected in its heart. Just now, even it had almost thought it through. Now, it had a new understanding of righteousness and justice. Perhaps there was no absolute justice in this world, only relative justice. It depended on whose perspective one looked at the problem from.
Fei Na sighed. "I'll say something fair."
Zhang Zian instinctively wanted to complain. When have you ever been fair? But when it glared at him, he swallowed his words.
"These birds are innocent. The fault is not with these cats, nor is it with the beasts that killed these cats, but with the people who brought these cats into the forest," Fina said.
Zhang Zian was surprised to hear this. This guy was actually very fair, and its technique of shifting the blame was also very skilled.
Fei Na seemed to know what he was muttering in his heart. She squinted at him and said, "I have always enforced the law impartially in public affairs. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Otherwise, how can I convince the public?"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Although Snowy Lionet didn't understand, it seized the opportunity to flatter him.
"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty will enjoy immortal blessings and live as long as the heavens! "Richard was a step too late. He secretly regretted it, but it was better to be late than never.
Did you see that? In ancient times, these two could have become first-class officials just by flattering people. Zhang Zian thought.
Despite complaining, Fina's words were still very reasonable.
For unreasonable animals, there was no distinction between good and evil, so humans had to restrain them. Whether it was domestic cats killing small animals, dogs biting people, or dogs disturbing people, in the end, it was all because humans did not play the role of discipline and restraint that they should.
It is the master's misfortune to raise but not teach; it is the master's fault to teach but not properly.
Pet cats didn't need to be trained like pet dogs, but as an owner, they should know where they could and couldn't take their cats, and if they didn't want to keep them anymore, could they just throw them out? Shouldn't they have a better idea of what to do?
Abandoning cats led to cats being taken away by stray animal shelters, and then euthanized because no one adopted them for a long time. Is there any essential difference between this and bringing cats into the forest and letting them prey on birds and be hunted by other beasts?
It is unfair to accuse the stray animal shelters of being irresponsible or cruel to the beasts.
Otherwise, who will pay for the endless breeding of stray cats, and who will maintain the ecological balance of this forest from being destroyed?
Isn't the lesson of coyotes overflowing and invading cities not enough due to wolves being hunted and killed?
Zhang Zian is not an extreme environmentalist like suspect Y, but at least he maintains the bottom line as a modern civilized person. He brought his own food into the forest, causing his backpack to be extremely heavy. Except for spraying a black bear and burning an American badger to protect himself, he has not harmed any animals because of his personal desire for food.
The precious mahogany forest not only belonged to the United States, but it was also the property of the entire human race. It was like traveling abroad. One could not carve "XX was here" just because the cultural relics were from a foreign country. That would be a disgrace to all Chinese.
Whoever brings these cats into the forest is at fault.
Fina remains calm and restrained. Of course, there are other reasons, but a very important reason is that it is reasonable.
The compassionate Old Time Tea sighed and said, "Richard is right, but I think that killing without teaching is called abuse …"
Old Time Tea couldn't go on because it thought about it. Different species, it seems that there is no way to teach. Do you want a tiger to guide a group of rabbits so that the rabbits can only eat carrots and not precious herbs?
Even if it can be taught, by the time the rabbits understand that they can't be eaten, the precious herbs have already been eaten. The theory is correct, but it is not practical.
To maximize the expulsion of foreign species and protect the ecology of this primeval forest, the simplest and most efficient way is to kill to stop killing. Just as the USDA killed more than 70,000 coyotes and 4 million other wild animals in 2013 to protect endangered species, similar killings are carried out every year.
What the beasts do is exactly the same as what the USDA did.
Of course, there is another way, which is to find the remaining cats that are still alive and let Fina lead them out of the forest. This way, they can look at the big picture and make up for it.
Vladimir is usually very reasonable, but it can't bear to see the cats suffer, so it was angry and impulsive. Now that it has calmed down, it can analyze the problem rationally.
"If the light is not turned on, the light will not be turned on. Arguing is a good thing. Only when there is an argument can there be a conclusion! " Vladimir firmly waved its claws. "Now we need to unify our thinking, build consensus, clarify the direction, and firmly implement it. We need to find a way to completely solve this problem! I think that we should follow the principle of 'whoever benefits, who is responsible.' No matter who brings these cats into the forest for whatever purpose, they must be responsible for this matter! "
Vladimir is good at summarizing. It is like a leader who is responsible for concluding a speech after a meeting. What he says is reasonable, far-sighted, and convincing.
Zhang Zian and the elfins listened and nodded. They have no objections.
So how do we find this person?
Famous suggested, "Since this is the scene of the killing, I think we might as well look around. Maybe we can find some clues."
The elfins followed the advice and split up to search nearby.
