长久以来,动物被看做人类的财产和工具,人们剥夺了动物享受生命的乐趣。比如牧场主故意让小牛贫血,单独监禁在无法转身的狭窄隔栏里,以便得到肉质细嫩的牛肉;屠宰厂里,流水线上的动物听着同伴的惨叫,看到同伴被肢解……然而随着口蹄疫、疯牛病、禽流感等疫情在全球范围内出现,人们意识到,关注动物福利,才能保障人类自身。 Animals have long been regarded as human property and tools, and people have deprived animals of their enjoyment of life. For example, the rancher intentionally made the calf anemic and was confined alone to a narrow fence that could not be turned around in order to obtain beef with tender meat. In the slaughterhouse, the animals on the assembly line listened to the screams of their peers and saw their companions mutilated... With the emergence of the epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease, mad cow disease and avian flu in a global context, people are aware that focusing on the welfare of animals can safeguard humanity itself.
