What is the purpose and significance of protecting animals?

The significance of wildlife conservation is that wild animals are the product of nature, and the natural world is composed of many complex ecosystems. If there is a plant that disappears, the insects that feed on this plant disappear.

If an insect is gone, the birds that prey on it will starve to death; The death of birds, in turn, has an impact on other animals. Therefore, large-scale wildlife destruction can cause a series of chain reactions with serious consequences.

1. Protect animals as resources.

The objects of this animal protection are mainly wild animals. The purpose of conservation is to ensure that humans can continue to use animals, and the biggest fear is the extinction of animals. This kind of thinking seems to have been widely accepted by the Chinese people.

If anyone is going to hunt or eat wild animals today, especially the state-protected animals, they will definitely be condemned by everyone. That's a big step forward from a few decades ago. Although in reality wildlife is still poorly protected; However, that was a problem in law enforcement and administration in the departments concerned, and the problem of concept was basically resolved.

This kind of animal protection pursues the sustainable use of animals, and if the number of animals increases and the economic benefits are increased, it is considered successful, and it does not have to be considered whether the animal has been mistreated. Like the live bear bile that everyone scolds, in the eyes of resource users, it is a kind of high-tech worthy of appreciation. It can be seen that this conservation idea of sustainable use of resources has serious shortcomings, and it is not real animal protection.

2. Protect animals as beings that can feel pain.

This kind of animal protection is not only for wild animals, but also for farm animals, laboratory animals, companion animals, working animals, and all other animals that can feel pain. The purpose of conservation is for the welfare of the animals themselves, not just for people. Although a society that treats animals well will have more harmonious relationships, less violence, and a lower crime rate, the primary purpose of animal protection is for the animals themselves, and the improvement of human society is a welcome by-product.

This line of thinking, to put it mildly, holds that humans have an obligation to animals to minimize pain and suffering, but animals themselves have no rights. That is to say, human beings treat animals well, and human beings take the initiative to assume obligations, and the benefits obtained by animals are given by human beings, and animals can only passively accept them, but cannot take the initiative to ask for them. Animal welfare theory does not oppose the use of animals to eat meat, do experiments, perform performances, etc., but requires that animals not be subjected to unnecessary pain and suffering.

Purpose of animal protection:

The aim is to maintain ecological balance.

It is impossible for organisms on the earth to live alone, and under certain environmental conditions, they are interconnected and live together.

Due to the destruction of human beings, and the loss of habitat and other factors, the proportion of endangered organisms on the earth is increasing at an alarming rate, the destruction of the balance of species, the deterioration of the human living environment, and the human race itself will suffer a great disaster.

Significance of protecting animals:

The protection of animal diversity, rich and colorful nature is the material basis for the progress of human society, animal protection helps to form a good social atmosphere, helps to establish a civilized legal society, it can be said that animal protection reflects the spiritual outlook and social order of human beings.

Nature is a rich gene pool, and protecting all kinds of animals is to protect all kinds of genes, understand the composition and function of various genes, and also help human beings understand nature and themselves from a deeper level.

To protect animals is to protect the interests of human beings. In fact, love and empathy are hypocritical, and the most fundamental reason is that species are an ignorant renewable energy source, and once a species is extinct, it is impossible to recover under the recent scientific level. In order to avoid the loss of this non-renewable resource to the detriment of human interests, it is very important to protect animals, especially endangered wild animals.

If nothing is done, then they will die faster. The very existence of some animals is a precious miracle to us. From the West to some romantic axiology, nature is the source of human spirit, and abandoning spirit and focusing solely on economic interests is a very narrow (mentally retarded) instrumental value.

Protect animals

Due to factors such as human destruction, and habitat loss, the proportion of endangered organisms on the planet is increasing at an alarming rate. Before industrial societies, birds went extinct every 300 years on average, one mammal.

one extinct every 8,000 years on average; But since the beginning of industrial society, the rate of extinction of species on Earth has exceeded the rate of natural extinction by 1,000 times.

1 8 of the world's plants, 1 4 of the mammals.

1 9 in birds, 1 in 5 reptiles.

1 of 4 amphibians.

1 out of 3 fish are endangered. Therefore, it is urgent to protect animals, and the whole world is calling for the protection of animals. The core content of animal protection is to prohibit the abuse and mutilation of any animal, and the prohibition of hunting and preying on wild animals.
