別人都在網上追劇的時候,小高迷上了兩只小猴紙情侶couple,天天追看它們衣食住行的視頻,這是兩只被營救下來的豬尾猴,目前和它們動物保護者的主人一起住在馬來西亞…人類不僅喜歡飼養貓狗等常規家寵,有些人亦會在偶然的機會下選擇飼養一些“ exotic pets" ( 非同尋常的寵物),它們可能是鼠鳥猴龜,也可能是獅虎豹熊蛇,動物和人類一起生活,當然不止是做伴那么簡單,有些人甚至要通過與寵物交流獲得心理療愈,并重新學習有效融入人際社會。而人類做為自然界高級生物如何與動物保持和諧友愛的關系,愛護動物并不任意虐待濫殺是一個艱辛的主題。動物的存在某種程度上幫助人類開啟愛心,學會公平尊重,培養對自然的慈悲。它們是人類的朋友,而不應是餐桌的美味和謀取暴利的來源。
Dialog
JJ:Hey, Xiao Gao. What did you do this weekend?
XG:I bought some clothes for some monkeys.
JJ:For some what?! Did I just hear you say… you bought some clothes for some monkeys? Like… real monkeys?
XG:That’s right! I have been watching some videos online about a man named Jamil who lives in Malaysia. ————————————————And he even rescues monkeys. In fact, he has two pigtail macaques and he treats them like his children.
JJ:So you bought clothes for them? I didn’t know monkeys wear clothes.
XG:Well, they don’t, ————————————— I hope that the two monkeys will like the clothes I bought for them and I hope to see their new outfits online soon.
JJ:Wow, I guess man and animal have a special connection.
XG:Yeah, he often takes his monkeys out for lunch and dinner. They are so cute!
JJ:Hey, remember 小黃豆 and 美美? I really miss them!
XG:Yeah. You were a great mother to them. I’m sure they are grateful to have been rescued by you.
JJ:Well, they also brought joy to my life. You know what they say: Dog is man’s best friend.
XG:Hey, where did that saying come from?
JJ:Well, before wolves evolved into dogs, it is said that humans and wolves worked together hunting game. The wolves would track the pray, and the humans would kill it. The humans would leave some meat for the wolves. This is how man and wolf’s relationship is said to have formed.
