"World Animal Day" originated in13rd century, and the festival was set in19th century. Originated from the initiative of Italian monk Saint Francis. Francis set an example for establishing a normal and civilized relationship between humans and animals. In order to commemorate him, later generations designated 65438+10.4 as "World Animal Day". Since the 1920s, various commemorative activities have been held all over the world on this day every year.
Two. Principles of the World Society for the Protection of Animals
The ethical cornerstone of the world's animal protection policy transcends the protection of specific species and pays attention to the welfare of individual animals. The World Society for the Protection of Animals believes that every animal has its own unique intrinsic value and should be respected and protected.
Animals have inherent characteristics, interests and nature determined by physiology, and can feel pain. Therefore, the World Society for the Protection of Animals believes that animals have the right to live in human hands in a way that is far away from avoidable pain, not just as raw materials for the benefit of mankind. The World Society for the Protection of Animals believes that human beings have the responsibility to provide welfare for other species.
The World Society for the Protection of Animals believes that all animals owned or controlled by human beings should be placed in an environment suitable for the survival of this species, and if the physiological and behavioral needs of a species cannot be met, then this species should not be mastered and controlled by human beings.
The World Society for the Protection of Animals believes that when there is a problem with the welfare of animals under human control, there is no doubt that human beings must provide help to such animals, and the purpose of using different animals must be reassessed regularly.
What can we do to protect animals?
"Please stay, the core area is our last home!"
At present, there are 1 146 nature reserves in China. Like the global protected area, its function is divided into experimental area, buffer area and core area. The core area is the core area of protection, the best place to preserve various primary ecosystems, and the last refuge for animals and plants. Therefore, any logging, hunting and browsing activities are strictly prohibited in this area, so as to maintain its biodiversity as much as possible without human interference. In fact, the core region plays the role of a species genetic gene bank.
Now, many nature reserves are open to the public, and some of them have become eco-tourism attractions that people yearn for. However, any opening activities must be carried out outside the core area, with the aim of giving priority to protection. The core area is not only a place for species protection and water conservation, but also the last home for animals. If this house is trampled again and people "break into houses", the animals inside will fall into a desperate situation of "family destruction"

"If you love birds, please go bird watching and don't turn off your phone."
There are more than 9,000 species of birds in the world, and there are more than 200 species of birds in China. No matter what kind of birds are unique in charm, gorgeous in feathers, beautiful in singing, graceful in posture, or charming, they are all popular animal groups. However, how to express this way of loving birds? It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of members of the Royal Society for Bird-loving, all of whom are birdwatchers, and there is a bird-loving and bird-keeping association in Beijing, which is made up of bird people.
Keeping wild birds in cages satisfies individuals' possessiveness, but deprives them of their freedom, making it difficult for them to fly with their wings, and even leading to the rupture of the ecological chain in nature. Because most birds (about 60%) are insectivores, after birds are killed by people, insects will flood and cause harm by pushing natural enemies. In order to control pests, people have to spray all kinds of pesticides with higher and higher concentration and greater toxicity, which not only poisons all kinds of creatures in nature, but also causes malignant tumors and other diseases of human beings.
"Your buying and selling behavior will drive animals to the wall."
Maybe you have never slaughtered animals yourself, but if you buy wild animal products, you may become an indirect butcher. Many wild animals, such as bison and pigeons, are killed at will because people think that their skins can be worn, their feathers can be used, their meat can be eaten and their organs can be used as medicine, which leads to extinction.
