The value of wild animals

The relationship between humans and animals actually went through several stages: early, all animals are to eat object; people other than their own, all objects are to be eaten, available. Such as the introduction of a species that can not be separated from the "meat is delicious to eat," and "fur precious," and "bone can be used as intermediate expressions such as".

But man cannot simply to satisfy appetites to treat everything from nature, you may eat eat, delicious and not good to define. In doing so, the description of the culture of mankind is still at a very low level of instinct, as other human desires, eating and sexual desire, just instinct, humanity is emerging from the Animal Kingdom, the most important thing is to have a unique culture, can be on your own judgment and behaviour. If you meet this instinctive desire to do whatever they want, is to reduce human moral standards to and other animals without distinction of any level.

Wild animals in human culture in addition to the diet, as they also have multiple values:

The food value

Food value-wildlife was once the main protein source for mankind, even today, it's this kind of value still exists. — Indeed absolutely forbidden to eat any kind of wild animals is not possible, if the protection of wild animal population enough, not a threat to its reproduction, the right to hunt food and too much. But the problem is not promoted.

Discussion:

The value of the animals, meet only the human animal. Because animals are hunted between feeding itself. If meat animals and eating animals. Understand the value of such animals, the slightest explanation what mankind. Just born kitten knew mice can eat.

Practical value

Practical value — the frog at the end of the day and night to help us eliminate the insects in the field, the OWL from dusk until dawn, in hunting in satisfying their, also in the objective to protect crops. While these see touch utility functions, often all mankind are far behind in technology. Some of the mystery of the plant species is relying on some of the birds of goofy, will carry on to remoteness of seeds that can be saved.

Scientific merit

Scientific merit — through them, we are able to observe the natural functioning of the process, understand the functioning of the ecosystem, they contain a variety of genes that make our lives are full of the world. At the same time we also learn that the development of our culture and technology, in the absence of intelligent APE, crane's elegant, how can the Chinese ancient gymnastics – natural remedy if bats are already extinct, our radar was invent how to? if the Dragonfly very early extinction, our modern helicopter technology could be extremely low ...

Ornamental value

Ornamental value — Eagle shallows, fish flying on the base, we have to bring endless imagination; and songs of birds in the mountains, Asakusa in stealth reptile, the wild beasts in the forest, they mcg's attitude, their voices, their colour is the most perfect natural masterpiece, few of them, our world will become extremely silent, pale and boring.

Aesthetic value

Aesthetic value of the action, wild kongque gorgeous, bailing travellers, the Nightingale's singing; Butterfly roams the Zhuangzi's prose out fantastic wings, empty, full of paintings of the human sciences, and arts and variety.

Discussion:

Several values described above is real. In fact, they are human-centric ecological values. A world everything as I all for ideas. This idea from the Bible's Genesis began to be established, and thus with the Western Christian culture, instrumental rationality, capitalism, Western science and technology spread all over the world. Its really deep is a natural part of human arrogance idea driven.

Today, mankind if still holds the idea that inevitably nature ruthlessly mocking, retaliation.

Ethical value

Ethical value — from small species classification, we and wildlife disparities, an outline of different subjects, each other mutually heterogeneous. But from the Earth's ecosystem, we are like brothers and sisters. This years ago on mouse genes and genome sequencing of control can be seen, in fact, appears to be enormous disparities and rat, human and chicken, differences in gene sequences, less than 5% on, we were knocking at suppressing Crown abuse eat monkeys, owned by some as a great ape lip chimpanzee their genes and our human differences are very small. Through their research, we found that they may however be on their way in our evolution is behind the original forest of a distant relative, although appearance and habits and our huge disparities, but their hearts as possible and we have mixed feelings, fear of death, the family of love, the joy of playing, collective joint none less than we humans, except that expression is different from us.

See them, we realize that in the vast universe, and they, together with the beautiful celestial bodies, Earth, and they exist between natural interdependent relationship. As part of nature, although we currently do have ratio they have greater survival advantage, but we think once ruled the Earth millions of years of dinosaurs, think about a human appear in more than 4 billion years of the planet, but millions of years, millions of years and billions of years, but compared to 1/4000, if the Earth life than done 24 hours a day, we are the first 23 hours 45 minutes later a species occurs, if the further calculation of human civilization began, we humans of small and short is better than a bubble in the air of time Hydromatic more long.

We now

Have the advantage of the poor be anything!

What's more, our progress in the vast majority of knowledge is what comes from their ability to adapt to the environment of the enlightenment. If the world is not enough, we'll lose the reference in the world, we would lose the possibility of self awareness.

The value from any perspective, we human beings are the species with the other dependency exists, if we only know that blindly killing, child abuse, food, colorful and vivid comedy life through our outrage into food and faeces, we will not forgive sin, peril!
