Wild Animals Need to Be Respected | CBCGDF BCON

For the sake of human entertainment, it is not worth it to disturb wildlife. Recent incidents such as tourists touching tiger heads, leading red-crowned cranes through the streets, and repeatedly chasing young swans on ice at the Yuanmingyuan Park to take photos, have made people rethink about this issue.

Wildlife plays a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity. These animals require undisturbed habitats for their survival and reproduction. By intruding into their natural environments, humans disrupt their feeding, mating, and migration patterns, causing stress and hampering their ability to thrive.

The act of touching a tiger's head or leading a crane on a leash might seem harmless to some, but it has severe consequences for the animals involved. Tigers are wild and powerful creatures that should be respected from a safe distance. Forcing them to interact with humans can lead to stress and potential harm to both sides involved. Similarly, taking a wild bird to a strange environment full of people not only disrupts its life but also poses risks to its health and safety.

The incident at Yuanmingyuan Park, where tourists continuously chased young swans on thin ice, is equally concerning. Such behavior not only endangers the lives of these birds but also compromises their ability to fly and survive. Gaining a few moments of excitement and a good photo is not worth the potential harm inflicted upon these vulnerable creatures.

It is crucial for individuals and authorities to recognize the importance of respecting wildlife and their habitats. Education and awareness programs can play a vital role in promoting responsible tourism and encouraging people to appreciate wildlife from a safe distance. Additionally, strict regulations and penalties should be enforced to discourage such disruptive behavior and protect wildlife.
