A 45-year-old chef, in the old Tang
Inflatable Christmas Shen last year because of the way of natural water catchment area of the central park, with bread to feed the monkeys, the Park Board inspectors found that, controlling the court, was fined 4,000 yuan. Recently, the appeal of the accused, after the plea, the judge Gunian his misconduct in the not serious - he is not the bait to capture animals for food, the fine reduced to 1,000 yuan.
This case caused public concern, first of all in the natural law: Many people will ask, the park is also illegal to feed the monkeys? » How much can a fine »
Indeed, to the extent of punishment, this is not the case trivial. According to Park and the relevant provisions of the trees Act, any person who did not receive the permission of the national park or nature reserve in the capture, migration and feeding animals, use or possession of explosives and other hunting equipment, a fine of up to 50,000 yuan, or long jail Up to six months, or both.
However, from the social welfare and protection of the natural point of view, the park to feed the monkeys really is not appropriate. This is the "love you into harm you," the classic example of one.
In fact, the natural park inside the monkeys and other animals to survive and multiply, the purpose is to make this zone forms a complete biosphere, not only of plants, birds and other insects are also animals, including primates and Inflatable Christmas even the monkeys. However, in the natural ecology of monkeys living there, it must proceed from the food, access to natural ecosystem. To the human food may not be suitable for them, and used to feed the monkeys eat the food, then gradually lost in the wild foraging instincts.
Even more serious situation is that the monkeys will be hungry to residential areas looking for something to eat, resulting in harassment, annoying. In other words, they are unaware of the circumstances "crime", was arrested after the face of the fate of humanity is destroyed. This is not "love you into harm you"? »
In the Buddhist Vesak Day is approaching (on the 19th of this month), we can think of another similar misconception is "released." Buddhists believe that some of the original, was released with compassion for the practice. But the past two or three years, the local Buddhist justify Lin Buddhist bodhisattva before the arrival of Christmas Day, in the Federation, "Lianhe Zaobao" newspaper and other media advertising to remind everyone should "instead of nursing students to release", "to replace the released vegetarian" . In other words, should not be a further "release" of such customs.
Of course, from a legal point of view, secretly released back to nature in the region, it is a serious offence. Since August 1, 2005, released in the park, the maximum penalty had been changed to a fine of 50,000 yuan or six months in jail, or both. But more importantly, this approach is not humane, "released" the result is often "put death."
According to the National Park Board Inflatable Christmas estimates that in the past during the Day of Vesak was released the animals, 90 percent less than a week on the death. The zoo's experts also pointed out that these animals are usually released to the artificial breeding, or capture from the field, they do not in feeding the local environment and wild life. Therefore, released after the capture of animals, often with dermatitis, lack of calcium, loss of limbs, or bodily injury.
"Released" approach also contributed to capture the animal industry, have led to more walking in the fields of natural game animals Dayton as "Jie Xiaqiu" for the sale of people. Such animals, of course, has no dignity.
