Today, all of us who have service learning went to the Singapore zoo. This is my first time to go there. It is different from the most of the zoos in China. In China, except some modern big zoos , others are just like big cages. All the animals are be limited in cold cages. However, the Singapore zoo is totally different. When I went into the Singapore zoo, it is just like I was visiting these animals' home instead of watching in a distance. One of the Xiangyu's blog showed an idea that "Living in harmony with nature". So I cannot stop keeping thinking. Sometimes we treat animals just like we are their masters even sometimes we act just like the master of the Mother Nature. In my opinion, we are all the same another animals. We all the part of the nature. Mother Nature gave humanbings best talent. We should try our best to make all the animals's life better instead of meaning to them just for a temporary comfortable life. Too some degree, other animals are kind of our sisters and brothers. When we pay more and more attention to human rights, should we care more about other animals. It is that we borrow the places of other animals instead of aggress them. Not only other animals but also the nature environment is also a matter which we should care more. The area of city is growing bigger and bigger while the forests are becoming smaller and smaller. We should not ignore the importances of any part of nature. So do not be a master any more, we are a part of nature. Do not regret before it is too late.
In fact, what Singapore Zoo did is also a kind of mastering. We catch animals and put them in the zoo, they are sort of prisoners no matter how great the environment of the zoo is.
ReplyDeleteI agree that we should respect all the species, but it is sad to see that humans have done too much damage to the nature. Development and environment are two issues that we cannot pay attention to at the same time. So the only way is to find the balance.
Thanks for your blog.
We are destroying biodiversity by our actions in encroaching on natural habitats
