Preface:
Human beings are the most intelligent species on the earth. Many human behaviors will have a great impact on nature or other species. Therefore, this also makes many people feel that compared with other animals, human life is supreme, but in fact, every creature should be equal and cannot rely on humans' own ideas to harm other animals at will. Today we will introduce a story about elephants. I believe everyone will have a deeper understanding of this matter.
Fierce Elephant
In mid-2021, 15 Asian elephants in Yunnan were moved northward in Xishuangbanna . As soon as this happened, it attracted the attention of many netizens. At that time, in order not to disturb their migration activities, the staff of the nature reserve were secretly protecting them silently. Netizens were also in the migration process of Yunguan elephants. It has to be said that these elephants living in China are very happy. However, more than 100 years ago, it was also an Asian elephant, whose name was Mary, but its final fate was extremely tragic.
At the beginning of World War 1, the United States did not choose to participate in the war. Other countries were in the midst of war, but the American people lived very peacefully. And in the middle of Naxi, USA, there is a special circus. He is very famous locally. The main reason is that there is a celebrity animal, which is the elephant Mary we are going to introduce today. This elephant has been following the circus leader since she was a child to perform around the country. It has a very docile personality. Whenever the leader teaches it something new, it will learn it very seriously, such as riding a bicycle, walking tightropes and other performances, which is not too difficult for it.
Although people often see animals performing acrobatics, they also met large animals like this for the first time, so every ticket for Mary's performance was stolen, and she also became a local star. However, it is still difficult for large animals to learn acrobatics. Although they learn a lot of new knowledge very quickly, they are still doing things over and over again, so the residents of the town soon lost interest, and the circus was once in a crisis. The leader was also very helpless and didn't know how to continue teaching. If he whipped it with an ordinary whip, it would not feel the pain at all. The actions that the leader of the circus taught Mary before were also completed through continuous induction.
Later, because the circus had a serious shortage of staff, they recruited a group of animal trainers from the outside. At that time, there was a homeless man named Walter. When he saw the recruitment advertisement, he wanted to give in. He thought it was very simple to train animals, and he could just use violence to make him surrender, so he successfully became Mary's trainer. Since then, Mary's painful life began.
Mary's Death
In order to let Mary learn some new movements, he also knew that the whip was useless for it, so he directly used an iron rod to hit Mary hard. Mary is very painful, but after all, she is an animal and can't speak, let alone express her emotions. And during each training process, if Mary didn't learn new movements or did not reach the expected level, Walter would choose not to give Mary food and constantly abuse it.
When encountering such a trainer, Mary has no choice. One day, the circus received an invitation from people, hoping to invite Mary Elephant to perform the "Elephant Parade", which is a program they are very good at. At that time, there were many pedestrians on the street. In order to watch this performance, they stood up early. Everyone still liked to watch Mary's performance. Especially after the performance started, everyone greeted Mary very enthusiastically, and Walter sat on Mary's back, but when he was halfway through, Mary suddenly stopped.
It turned out that in front of Mary, there was a piece of watermelon peel that had been gnawed. Maybe because she hadn't eaten for too long, Mary was very hungry, so she rolled up the watermelon peel with her nose and was about to eat it. Walter was very angry when he saw this scene, so he directly tapped Mary's back with a stick. Mary screamed in pain and rolled Walter up directly with her nose, threw it on the ground and stomped him to death. This scene really scared many viewers present. Although Walter deserves to die, everyone does not know what Mary has experienced before, so everyone thinks that the animal elephant is harmful and decides to kill Mary.
On the day of the execution, it was raining lightly in the sky. Poor Mary was trapped in the crane, but because the elephant was too heavy, the rope that bound the elephant was broken directly, and Mary was also dropped heavily to the ground, and it made a very painful howl. But the people at that time were very cruel. After preparing the rope again, they immediately hung it up again. The execution time lasted for more than an hour, and Mary was finally hung. The cruelest thing was that many people took photos with his body at that time.
Mary's anniversary
However, later, I don't know whether people discovered their conscience or began to realize the importance of protecting animals. They understood that killing Mary was a wrong thing and held a special anniversary for Mary. In September 2016, it was also the 100th anniversary of Mary's death, when people raised a lot of donations to the nature reserve. But if you think about it carefully, what an ironic thing is. It was here at that time, in this nature reserve, people once spent more than an hour to brutally kill an innocent elephant.
Humans are the most intelligent creatures on the earth. We always like to call ourselves the rulers of nature and constantly conquer various species, especially every year, there are some hunting activities, which cause huge harm to nature. They often ignore it. In fact, these animals living on the earth are our closest families. If humans continue to do this, they will only vent their anger on nature in the end.
However, most humans do not understand this truth at all, but continue to commit cruel evil deeds to nature and some animals. In the end, these evil deeds will definitely backfire on humans themselves. We must always remember that humans and nature should be in a harmonious symbiotic relationship, and it should definitely not be such hostile relationship. We are just a member of nature.
