Chapter 1559
Richard had finally mustered the courage to speak up for the birds, but before he could finish, fina and the others glared at him, and his courage disappeared. He quickly used Zhang Zian's head to cover his body and avoid their sight, for fear that he would be retaliated against.
After waiting for a while, the revenge it expected did not come. It then nervously stuck its head out from behind Zhang Zian's head.
To its surprise, Vladimir, who had been furious just now, had calmed down and said,""Richard is right. "When I was in Binhai city, I also tried to restrain stray cats from hurting small animals, at least not to hurt beneficial small animals, such as mice. Of course, we can't let go of them, and we don't have to worry about the danger of the mice going extinct, but don't go hunting for birds. Using dialectical materialism, everything is the same. If there is no black, where is the White? if there are no mice, where is the modern house cat?"
As it spoke, Vladimir seemed to be immersed in philosophical thinking."Humans, of course, including cats, as a part of nature, can not be above nature and demand from nature without limit. Instead, they must constantly adjust their relationship with nature, make it harmonious and unified, and meet their own needs under this premise."
It glanced at the dead cats with regret, but they could no longer hear its philosophy.
Zhang Zian felt that these words were familiar, as if he had returned to the fear of being ruled by political textbooks in high school.
Old time tea nodded slightly and reflected in its heart. Even it had almost failed to think it through just now. It now had a new understanding of justice and righteousness. Perhaps there was no absolute justice in this world, only relative justice. It depended on whose perspective one was standing on.
Fina sighed."I'll be fair."
Zhang Zian instinctively wanted to say,"when have you ever been fair? However, he swallowed his words after being glared at by it.
"These birds are innocent. It's not the cats 'fault, nor is it the beast that killed these cats. It's the person who brought these cats into the forest." Fina said.
Zhang Zian was surprised to hear that. This guy was really fair, and he was also very skilled at pushing the blame.
Fina seemed to know what he was mumbling in his heart. She glanced at him and said,"I have always been fair in Public Affairs. Right is right, wrong is wrong. Otherwise, how can I convince the public?"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Although snowy Lionet didn't understand, it didn't miss the opportunity to flatter him.
"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty, please enjoy your immortal blessings and longevity!" Richard was a step too late. He regretted it, but it was better to be late than never.
Did you see that? in ancient times, these two would definitely be able to become first-rank high officials by flattering, Zhang Zian thought.
Although she was complaining, Fina's words still made sense.
For unreasonable animals, there was no distinction between good and evil, so they needed humans 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 have.
Raising without teaching is the master's fault, and teaching without proper guidance is the master's fault.
Although pet cats didn't have to be trained like pet dogs, as the owner, he should know where he could and couldn't take his own cat, or if he didn't want to keep it anymore and could just throw it out.
Abandoned cats, causing the cats to be taken away by stray animal shelters, and then euthanized because no one had adopted them for a long time. Was there any essential difference from bringing the cats into the forest, letting them feed on birds and then be killed by other beasts?
Therefore, it was unfair to accuse the stray animal containment Center of being irresponsible or the beasts were cruel.
Otherwise, who would pay for the endless raising of stray cats, and who would maintain the ecological balance of the forest from destruction?
Wasn't the lesson from the capture and killing of wolves, which led to the proliferation of coyotes and even the invasion of the city, enough?
Zhang Zian was not an extreme environmentalist like suspect Y, but at least he maintained the bottom line of a modern civilized person. He brought his own food into the forest, causing his backpack to be extremely heavy. Other than spraying a black bear and burning an United States Badger for self-protection, he had never hurt any animals because of his personal desire for food.
The precious mahogany forest didn't only belong to the United States, but also to the entire human race. Just like when you were traveling abroad, you couldn't just leave the words "XX is here" on it just because the cultural relics were foreign. It would be a disgrace to all Chinese.
It was the fault of whoever brought these cats into the forest.
There were other reasons for Fina's calm restraint, but the most important reason was that it was reasonable.
"Richard is right," old time tea sighed,"but I think that killing without teaching is torture ..."
Old time tea couldn't continue, because it thought about it. They were different species, and it seemed that there was no way to teach them. Should it let a Tiger guide a group of rabbits step by step, so that the rabbits could only eat carrots and not precious herbs?
Even if he could really teach them, by the time the rabbits understood that they couldn't be eaten, the precious herbs would have long been eaten up. The theory was correct, but it wasn't practical in reality.
The simplest and most efficient way to expel foreign species and protect the ecology of this primitive forest was to stop killing by killing. Just like the United States Department of Agriculture killed more than 70000 coyotes and 4 million other wild animals in 2013 to protect endangered species, similar massacres were carried out every year.
The beast's actions were exactly the same as the United States Department of Agriculture.
Of course, there was another way, which was to find the remaining cats that were still alive and let fina lead them out of the forest. This way, they could take the overall situation into consideration and make up for the lost sheep.
Vladimir was usually very reasonable, but it couldn't bear to see the cat suffer, so it was a little impulsive in its anger. But since it had calmed down, it could analyze the problem rationally.
"If you don't turn on the light, it won't light up, and you can't explain it! It's a good thing to argue, there's only a conclusion when there's argument!" Vladimir waved its paw firmly."Now, we need to unify our thoughts, gather a consensus, have a clear direction, and firmly grasp the implementation. We need to find a way to completely solve this problem! I think that we should follow the principle of 'whoever benefits is responsible'. No matter what the purpose of bringing these cats into the forest is, whoever it is must be responsible for it!"
Vladimir was good at summarizing, just like a leader who was responsible for giving a summary speech after a meeting. He spoke in a set of words that were reasonable, far-sighted, and convincing.
Zhang Zian and the Elfins nodded without any objection.
How could he find this person?
"Since this is the scene of the murder," famous suggested,"I think we should look around. Maybe we can find some clues."
The elves followed his advice and split up to search the nearby area.
