我们越是了解非人类动物的真实本性,尤其是那些拥有复杂大脑和相应复杂社会行为的动物,就越会对它们在为人类服务中的使用产生伦理上的担忧——无论是在娱乐、作为“宠物”、用于食物、在实验室中,还是我们施加给它们的任何其他用途。
The more we learn of the true nature of non-human animals, especially those with complex brains and corresponding complex social behaviour, the more ethical concerns are raised regarding their use in the service of man—whether this be in entertainment, as ‘pets,’ for food, in research laboratories or any of the other uses to which we subject them.
我们生来心中都藏着一份疯狂,是释放还是压抑,全凭我们自己抉择。
一个幸福晚年的秘决不是别的,而是与孤寂签订一个体面的协定。
