关于保护动物的一篇英语作文(汇总20篇)

人们都认为老虎只不过是一种动物，是没有感情的。但是，这个暑假里，我看了一本名叫《虎娃金叶子》的书。动物小说大王——沈石溪用拟人的手法，淋漓尽致地向我们展现了一段感人心肺的人虎之情。

在老挝、缅甸和泰国的三国交界处有一个名叫郎雀的爱尼族小寨，有一个名字叫做“六指头”的婴儿就出生在这里。一般的人都只有每只手五根手指头，而他却有六根手指头。也正是这个原因，使得他迫不得已逃到深山老林里隐居。从此，他就一个人孤苦伶仃的靠打猎谋生，成了一个“野人”。他捡了一只小老虎，把它当做自己的女儿来养育。她名叫金叶子。六指头和金叶子整天形影不离，就好似一对好朋友似的。在金叶子小的时候，六指头天天用新鲜的肉来熬成粥喂它；金叶子长大了，就外出帮六指头捕捉活的野兽来报答六指头的养育之恩。每当六指头锁定了猎物，只要一吹口哨，金叶子就会“速速领命”，前去捉拿猎物。一眨眼的功夫，金叶子就满载而归回到六指头身边了，真是默契无比啊！在六指头身陷危难的时候，作为女儿的金叶子，及时“舍命相救”，保住了六指头的命，可自己却在发出一声惊天动地的啸声后中弹倒地身亡了。

明静的夜空上，一轮皓月已渐渐攀高了，震耳欲聋的虎啸声早已挥之远去。

“金叶子”这个响亮的名字已经在我的脑海中留下了深深地烙印，这对人虎情深的“父女”向我们诠释了亲情的力量是多么伟大,也告诉了我们：人类应该和动物们和平共处。

现在，已经有很多动物们受到人类的伤害了。它们常常被我们捕杀，有好多的珍稀物种也已经濒临灭绝，一旦动物都灭绝了，那么，人类离死亡的距离也不远了。所以，我们的命运和动物们是紧紧相连的，让我们不再杀戮，保护动物们，就是在保护我们自己。

我的梦想就是能够成为一个有爱心的人，保护动物，就像六指头一样，去阻止那些试图捕杀小动物的人，让那些小动物们安安全全、快快乐乐的生活着。我呼吁“保护动物，从我做起！”从现在开始让我们，行动起来，保护动物，不再让它们受到伤害。我的梦，中国梦！相信只要经过努力我的梦想一定能够实现！

Today, we read a lot about the passage to protect the environment. I recall ever happened in my side.

Remember last years summer vacation, my father and I went for a walk EHu edge, a way, Im kind of shouted thirsty, so my father on the side of the road store bought me a Popsicle. I ate and go, soon finished eating, carelessly threw the ice sticks into EHu. Dad saw, reminded me immediately; "Coco, cant litter oh! If everyone like you to throw garbage in the lake, the beautiful EHu lake becomes waste." Im ashamed of say: "know, next time I must not litter." Dad smiled and stroked my head and said: "the earth is our home, we should protect it, cherish it, let the sky bluer, the water cleaner, the grass is greener." I naughty to say: "oh, that is, everybody has said, the city is my home, clean environment depends on everybody. I understand." From then on, I no longer throw garbage.

I want to take care of the environment is closely related to everyone, so lets start from everyone!

今天，我们读了很多关于保护环境的小短文。我想起曾经在我身边发生的事情。

记得是去年的暑假，我和爸爸一起去鹅湖边散步，走了一段路，我就一个劲的喊口渴，于是，爸爸就在路边的小店给我买了根冰棍。我边吃边走，一会儿就吃完了，随手把冰棍棒往鹅湖里一扔。爸爸看见了，马上提醒我说;“可可，不能乱扔垃圾噢!如果每个人都像你一样往湖里扔垃圾，这美丽的鹅湖不就变成了垃圾湖了。”我羞愧的说：“知道了，我下次一定不乱扔垃圾。”爸爸微笑着抚摸我的头说：“地球也是我们的家，我们应该保护它，爱护它，让天更蓝，水更清，草更绿。”我调皮的说：“噢，那就是大家一直说的，城市是我家，环境清洁靠大家。我明白了。”让从那以后，我再也不乱扔垃圾了。

我想爱护环境与每个人息息相关，所以要从每个人做起!

埇桥马戏有着200多年的历史，从动物展示到动物一般表演，再到动物综合能力展示，形成了埇桥区独特的马戏文化和马戏产业。目前，埇桥区有200多家马戏民团，从业人员2万多人，常年活跃在全国各地，不仅丰富了人民群众的文化生活，也对人们认识动物、了解动物提供了帮助。

埇桥马戏各种动物的综合能力展示，源于受人类杂技表演的启发，并根据各种动物的性能，形成了埇桥马戏特有的“食物引诱，感情驯化”的驯化方式，驯化师驯化动物，都是从小就开展感情培育，像对待宠物一样精心饲养，并在饲养过程中，以递进方式进行逐步驯化。

埇桥马戏在发展过程中，十分重视对各类动物的保护，特别是国家级 一、二类保护动物，就是在各民团的保护下，有效地扩大了种群数量。

本着对社会的负责，加强对动物的保护和关爱，埇桥区马戏协会提出如下倡议：

一、严格遵守《中华人民共和国野生动物保护法》和一切与野生动物保护、驯化、繁育、演出等相关法律法规，真正做到善待动物，关爱动物，保护动物，和谐相处，文明演出。

二、在饲养过程中，严格按照各项规定，保证食品安全，笼舍宽敞，干净卫生，防病防疫。

三、在驯化过程中，要按照各种动物的习性和性能，在食物引诱，感情驯化的基础上，达到科学驯化、文明驯化。

四、在演出过程中，准确把握各种动物的习性和情绪，适时调整演出内容和场次，做到文明演出。

五、在运输过程中，要保证动物的合理活动空间，尽量避免长途运输，利用团队优势，就近演出。

埇桥区马戏协会希望各马戏民团进一步探索和提高科学驯化的水平，让关爱动物、保护动物表现在今后的每一言、每一行中，让埇桥马戏艺术为群众带来更多的快乐与享受。

When winter comes, the topic of haze will never be ignored. When it comes, many pictures will be showed. People make fun of these pictures and they actually laugh at themselves, living with these poison air. Even in the daytime, people can’t see their faces beyond 10 meters. Many schools choose to stop the class and let the students stay at home. It is obvious that haze is a great threat to people’s health. This new type of destruction is the result of polluted environment. Businessmen chase for the profit and take the cost of polluting the environment. Now their offspring have to suffer from it. It is never too late to do something to protect our earth.

当冬季来临的时候，阴霾的话题永远不会被忽略。当雾霾到来的时候，人们会为它拍摄很多图片，之后再取笑这些照片。但是他们实际上嘲笑的是他们自己，因为他们生活在这些有毒的空气里。即使在白天，如果超过10米的话，人们都会看不见他人的脸。许多学校选择停课，让学生呆在家里。很明显，雾霾严重威胁到人们的健康。这种新型的破坏是环境污染的后果。商人们追求以污染环境为代价的利润，现在他们的后代都得遭受到恶果。现在为保护我们的地球付出努力还为时不晚。

Boundless sea to look forward to, give people the beauty, give a person warm motherly love.

The sea is like a poem; it jumps; like a picture, rich in meaning; and like a symphony, vast and mighty...... It is like a mirror; sometimes calm, sometimes filled with rage, overwhelming, to sail the boat overturned. In my mind, the sea is blue world, is also the cradle of life. Pregnant with many free and small life. The sea is so mysterious, so charming!

Now the sea has changed. The sea is no longer clear, it becomes muddy and dirty. Washed up on the beach, left is no longer alive and kicking the fish shrimp, instead of the piles of rubbish, but also mixed with a lot of dead fish shrimp, stinking. Why is that? Its all because of us. When people admire the beauty of the seaside, they throw the foul rubbish into the sea. There are also people living on the beach, the toilet drain pipe to the bottom of the sea. Whats worse is that the factory waste water flows into the sea in large stocks, and the sea is dyed in a strange color. Led to the birth of a lot of lack of brains, low IQ infants, our next generation - bright eyes [voice tender], the face of the next generation of red, will never see the beautiful blue sea.

Someone once did an experiment. He compared a basin of water to the ocean, and dropped a drop of ink into the sea. Immediately, the ink slowly spread out, became shallow and disappeared. The sea water was almost as clean as ever. If the ink kept dropping, the color of the sea would be deeper and darker, and eventually it would become a basin of black water. 6 billion people on the earth produce large quantities of living waste water and industrial pollution every day. Like ink, it has been injected into the clear sea water. It has become a polluted lake.

To the health of our human beings, to see the beautiful blue sea for our children and grandchildren. Let us act now, love the ocean as much as we love life, and love the common blue home of mankind.

Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is shown in the chart, we can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least 1 million animal species have disappeared. Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece of sensational news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not see these animals in the near future.

From the second picture, we can find some reasons. Why is the number of animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes sell at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity. This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.

As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal action. We believe "no buying, no killing". First, we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our environment. Third, we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and our environment. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development.

我家有只小狗，是我妈妈在我生日的时候送给我的生日礼物，我很喜欢它，妈妈给它取了个可爱的名字叫旺旺旺。

My family has a puppy. Its my mothers birthday present to me on my birthday. I like it very much. My mother gave it a lovely name.

每天我放学回来第一件事就是拿东西去喂旺旺，我妈妈说过，要和小狗做朋友，就必须要好好的对它。

Every day I come back from school, the first thing is to take things to feed Wangwang, my mother said, to be friends with the puppy, it must be good to it.

所以，我平时还会帮它洗澡和带它出去玩。旺旺可调皮了，一开始每次帮它洗的时候，它总是不愿意，每次都会把我的衣服弄湿，但我也没生气，妈妈说过，多帮它洗几次它就会习惯了。

So I usually shower it and take it out to play. Want to be naughty, and at the beginning of each time to help it wash, it is always reluctant to, every time I wet my clothes, but I did not angry, mother said, and more help it wash a few times, it will get used to it.

每天晚上吃完饭，我就会牵着小狗和妈妈一起到外面散步，带它到公园和其他的小狗仔一起玩，可是旺旺太淘气了，整天欺负隔壁的阿王，妈妈就说，以后不带它出去了。旺旺虽然有点淘气，可是我还是很喜欢它，我要永远和它做朋友。

Every night after dinner, I will be holding the dog and her mother went to the outside for a walk, take it to the park and other puppies playing together, but I was too naughty, bullying next O king, mother said, dont take it out. Wangwang although a little naughty, but I still like it, I will always be friends with it.

Although people are now said to protect animals, but there are a lot of people wrong-headed, continue to hunt animals, cause many animals to the road to extinction. Humans and animals to see, sold at the same time, made from animal skins coat... But these people ever think, if you are an animal, are hunted by humans, what would you think? Some people say: "Im not a animal." But now hunted animals, animals would like to have? No, never. Although some people know how to care for the animals, but they will only pretending to go to the education of others, and themselves but also damage the environment, killing animals, so enthusiastic tasting animal meat is delicious. Take the puppy around us, for instance, although not a national secondary other rare animals, but also our good partners, whether master how to use it, it still is very dedicated, but humans find dog meat is delicious, began to kill the dog.

Now, some animals have almost extinct, take the crocodile, for instance, although it is very fierce, but humans are more fierce. And in the eyes of human beings, crocodile skin can be made into the luggage, handbags, wallets, shoes and other goods. Because of some organs from animals has the prominent economic value, thus become a subject of human plunder use, become the main factor of extinct animals. So the crocodile, has now become almost extinct animals.

Animal friends, a lot of destruction of human will have serious adverse consequences, ecological environment caused by serious imbalance, so that the human living environment is destroyed. Eliminate animal, is to eliminate human oneself, if one day the animals in the world are gone, that human can survive? To protect animals, cherish this nature of every creature! Let us start from now, to protect animals, make the world a better place!

虽然人们现在都说要保护动物，但是还有很多人执迷不悟，继续猎杀动物，导致许多动物都走向了灭绝的道路。同时人类还拿动物来观赏、卖钱，用兽皮做大衣……但这些人有没有想过，如果你是一只动物，却遭到了人类的猎杀，你会怎么想?有些人说：“我又不是动物。”但是现在人类大量捕杀动物，动物会愿意吗?不，永远不会。有些人虽然知道怎样去爱护动物，可是他们只会假惺惺地去教育别人，而自己却照样破坏环境，猎杀动物，照样兴致勃勃的品尝动物鲜美的肉。就拿我们身边的小狗来说吧，虽然不是国家一二级别的珍贵动物，但也是我们身边的好伙伴，不管主人怎么使唤它，它仍然很兢兢业业，可是人类发现狗肉鲜美，就开始捕杀小狗。

现在，有些动物已经快要灭绝了，就拿鳄鱼来说吧，它虽然很凶猛，但人类更凶猛。而在人类的眼中，鳄鱼皮可以制成行李箱，手提包，钱包，鞋等物品。就是因为有些动物身上的器官具有突出的经济价值，由此成为被人类掠夺利用的对象，成为动物灭绝的主要因素。所以鳄鱼，现在已经成为快要灭绝的动物了。

朋友们，动物的大量毁灭对人类将产生严重的不良后果，造成生态环境严重不平衡，从而使人类的生存环境遭到破坏。消灭动物，就是在消灭人类自己，如果有一天世界上的动物全都消失了，那人类还能生存吗?要保护动物，珍惜这自然界里的每一个生灵吧!让我们从现在做起，保护动物，使世界变得更加美好吧!

As we all know,the number of Siberian tiger is becoming smaller and smaller. The appearances of Siberian tiger is terrifyingly.They are with an red-brown colour and brindle on their furs.They are mainly inhabit in forests and mountain area of the north by east in China.Their favourite food is fresh meat,especially the small animals.Their habitual behavior is to hide by day and come out at night. And we should try our best to protect them.

Orcas are not related to whales at all, other than being ocean-dwelling mammals. Rather, they are close kin to dolphins. While it was believed that they were a single species, recent research indicates that they may, in fact, be comprised of several different species of Orca. You can find them in every ocean in the world, though they tend to favor the colder waters around Antarctica and the North Atlantic or Pacific. The only predator they possess is humankind. While theres a deadly standoff between the two species, Orcas proliferate in the wild, and have an incredible life span. The males usually live as long as sixty or seventy years, while the females—who are excluded from the sometimes-violent competition for mates—may live a hundred years or more in the wild.

虽名虎鲸，但不同于海洋其他哺乳动物，非鲸目，海豚科的近亲。此前一直认为虎鲸只有一种，但最近的调查显示虎鲸种类繁多。部分虎鲸会终年停留于南极、大西洋北部和太平洋等温度较低的海域，但总体来看，它们的活动范围几乎覆盖全世界水域。它们堪称海上霸王，唯一的天敌也只有人类了。虎鲸全年都可以交配，数量庞大，雄鲸的平均寿命在60到70年左右，野生雌鲸不同于雄鲸经常参与猎杀食物，寿命可达100年甚至更长。

Theyve been observed reaching speeds of around 30 miles per hour, although some Orcas may utilize much greater bursts of speed, based upon their favored prey. Resident pods in the Pacific Northwest have shown a decided preference for salmonids—specifically, Chinook salmon. This presents a conflict with the goals of companies that rely on high yields of salmon for profit. Several communities of killer whale seem to favor beach and ice floe ambush approaches, snatching seals and walruses or even sea birds from their resting places. Others, located in the Southern Hemisphere, take up the challenge of hunting sharks in the open sea, as well as feeding on species of rays and other fish abundant in the cold southern waters.

虎鲸约时速30英里，当然也有爆发力更强的，为了追捕中意的猎物，时速可以更快。太平洋西北海域的虎鲸族群偏爱三文鱼，尤其是大鳞三文鱼。这就和沿岸经营三文鱼生意的公司产生一定的利益冲突。虎鲸族群喜欢在浮冰区伏击猎物，捕杀海豹、海象或者在这里歇脚的海鸟。在南半球海域里，有些虎鲸还会在公海里捕杀鲨鱼，也会以鳐和其他鱼类为食。

My hometown is a beautiful small village, my father said that the original home of hanging about the village, is full of trees behind the house, lush and green all the year round, there is a small river east village, the water crystal clear, fish, the sky was crystal clear.

The few families lived in the village, the life is comfortable, but I dont know since when, the environment began to deteriorate. Say we river first, she was now the sewage river, there is a paper mill in the waste water into the river, the river with a layer of white foam, stinking, former aquatic plants and the fish disappeared, flowers reflection of the river was gone. Dad said the river but he was a child often play place, now people here to hurry past, wu hold its mouth. The river when you are sad all the day.

The earth is our home, a good environment is the premise of our happy life. In order to our survival homeland to sweet and comfortable, I put forward three Suggestions:

The industrial wastewater emissions dont, best can recycle after unified handling.

Second life garbage recycling, in order to reuse. Called on people to care for the environment, and in some poor hygiene area eye-catching warning label.

Three to supervision and control of air pollution, especially for those emissions exceed the chimney rectification within a time limit.

Around us there are many people environmental protection consciousness, I hope more people join the ranks of environmental protection, let the home environment is becoming more and more good.

我的老家是一个美丽的小村庄,听爸爸说，原来的老家村前村后、房前屋后到处都是树，一年四季郁郁葱葱，村东头有条小河，河水清澈晶莹，鱼翔浅底，天空湛蓝深远。

村里住着百十户人家，日子过得都还舒适，可是不知从什么时候开始，环境开始恶化了。先来说说我们的小河，她现在简直成了污水河了，岸边有家造纸厂在往河里排放废水，河面上泛着一层白白的泡沫，臭气熏天，昔日的水草和鱼儿不见了，鲜花倒影的河面不见了。爸爸说河边可是他小时候经常玩耍的地方，现在过往这里的人行色匆匆、捂嘴掩鼻。小河终日愁眉不展。

地球是我们的家园，美好的环境更是我们开心生活的前提。为了我们生存的家园能够温馨舒适，我提出三条建议：

一工业污水不要随意排放，最好能够统一处理后循环使用。

二生活垃圾要分类回收，以便再利用。号召人们爱护环境，并在一些卫生状况较差的区域贴上醒目的警示标志。

三对空气污染进行监督和治理，尤其是要对那些排量超标的烟囱限期整改。

在我们身边还有许多人环保意识淡薄，真希望有更多人加入到环保行列当中，让家乡的环境变得越来越好。

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment。

There were few people on the earth， and natural resources seemed to be

unlimited。

Today things are different。 The world has bee too crowded。 We are using up

our natural resources，and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals。 If

we continue to do this， human life on earth will not survive。

We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea， there will soon be

none left。 Yet，with modern fishing methods， more and more fish are caught。We

know that if too many trees are cut down， forests will disappear。 Yet， we

continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees。 We see that

if rivers are polluted with waste products， we will die。 Yet， waste products

are

still put into rivers。

We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate， in a

few years， there wont be enough food。What can we do to solve these

problems?

If we eat more vegetables and less meat， there will be more food available。

Land for crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are

kept。

Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycie them。

The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods

of birth control。

Finally， if we educate people to think about the problems we shall have a

better and cleaner planet in the future。

Excuse me waiter, there’s a shark in my soup

Some 200m years before dinosaurs made their appearance on earth and thus quite some time before Homo sapiens began celebrating nuptials at extravagant wedding banquets, sharks swam the oceans. Sharks are older than trees. They have survived at least four planetary mass extinctions.

在恐龙在地球上出现之前两亿年左右，也就是在现代人(Homo sapiens)开始举办奢华婚宴之前相当久远的时候，鲨鱼们就已经在海洋中游弋。鲨鱼比树还要古老。它们至少经历了四次地球物种灭绝，一直活到了今天。

The link between these ancient predators and contemporary wedding receptions is that, among Chinese people, it is a sign of generosity and prestige to serve guests shark-fin soup. Since there are more than 1.3bn Chinese people, and since they are getting more affluent by the day, that is of no little consequence to the shark population. Some 70m sharks are killed each year for their fins. Much of the time, the fins are sliced off with a blade at sea and the bloody shark torso thrown back in the water to die.

这种古老的食肉动物和当代婚宴之间的联系在于，在中国人眼中，请客人吃鱼翅羹是慷慨与体面的标志。由于中国有13亿多人口，并且中国人一天比一天富裕，吃鱼翅对鲨鱼数量可谓影响重大。为了获取鱼翅，人类每年要捕杀约7000万条鲨鱼。大多数时候，人们在海上用刀把鱼鳍割下来，然后便将血淋淋的鲨鱼躯干扔入海里，任由它们死去。

The California state legislature is debating a bill co-sponsored by Paul Fong, a Chinese-American Democrat, to ban the sale, consumption and trade of shark fin. Hawaii, Oregon and Washington state already impose similar bans. California accounts for 85 per cent of shark fin eaten in the US. The bill sailed through the lower house assembly, but is being held up in the state senate because of concerns it discriminates against Chinese Americans.

加利福尼亚州立法机构正在讨论由民主党人、美籍华人方文忠(Paul Fong)联合提议的一项旨在禁止贩卖、消费和交易鱼翅的议案。夏威夷州、俄勒冈州和华盛顿州已经实施了类似的禁令。加州的鱼翅食用量占到美国鱼翅总食用量的85%。州众议院会议已通过了此项议案，但因担心法案有歧视美籍华人的嫌疑，州参议院还未对其投票表决。

What people eat is, indeed, a sensitive topic and one that generates much hypocrisy. Different cultures have formed their own taboos about what is proper, and not proper, to eat. Muslims and Jews don’t eat pigs, Hindus don’t eat cows and most Americans don’t eat snake or whale. Jains, and vegetarians of all cultures, don’t eat any animals at all.

人们吃什么确实是一个敏感的话题，也会催生许多虚伪的作风。对于可以吃什么、不可以吃什么，不同的文化有着各自的禁忌。穆斯林和犹太教徒不吃猪肉，印度教徒不吃牛肉，而大多数美国人不吃蛇肉或鲸肉。耆那教徒(Jains)和各种文化中的素食主义者都不吃任何动物。

Westerners are particularly prone to turning up their nose at what other people eat. Their position is mostly illogical and sometimes offensive. They tend to mentally divide animals into those you eat (like pigs, sheep and chickens); those you cuddle or stroke (cats, dogs and horses); and those too ugly, unusual or intelligent to eat (say beetles, zebras and dolphins). Many profess to loathe barbarity – think clubbing seals – yet are happy to eat veal or to ignore what goes on in their friendly neighbourhood abattoir.

西方人尤其看不惯其它文化社会的人们所吃的东西。他们的出发点大多不合逻辑，有时可能还会触犯众怒。他们往往在心里把动物分为好几类：吃的(如猪、羊和鸡)、搂抱或抚摸的(猫、狗和马)以及太丑、太怪或太聪明而不能吃的(比如甲虫、斑马和海豚)。许多人都公开对残暴行为表示憎恶——例如用棍子猎杀海豹——但却爱吃小牛肉，或佯装对自己居住的友好社区的屠宰场里发生的一切毫不知晓。

Michael Moore, the American documentary film-maker, brilliantly – if possibly inadvertently – exposed this self-delusion in Roger & Me. In a scene that was meant to highlight the poverty of Flint, Michigan, a woman selling rabbits is shown asking customers if they want “pets or meat”. If the answer is “pet”, the cuddly bunny is handed over to a delighted child. If “meat”, the hapless creature is clubbed to death with a lead pipe and skinned on the spot.

美国纪录片电影制片人迈克尔?摩尔(Michael Moore)在《罗杰和我》(Roger & me)中绘声绘色地(也可能是不经意地)披露了这种自欺欺人的行径。在展现密歇根州弗林特(Flint)贫困状况的一个场景中，有个女人在卖兔子，她问顾客要买“宠物还是兔肉”。如果答案是“宠物”，她就把小兔子交给一个满心欢喜的孩子。如果答案是“兔肉”，她便当场用一根铅管把这个可怜的动物打死并把皮剥下来。

The richer societies get, the more finicky they tend to become. Many (including myself) waste half the animal they have had killed on their behalf, refusing to consume its organs, intestines, brain and so on. These parts are often eaten, and sometimes prized, in non-western societies, particularly in Asia. In their willingness to consume almost all the animal, both China and Japan score far better than most western countries.

社会越是富有，往往就会变得越挑剔。许多人(包括我在内)会浪费掉因为他们而被杀死的动物的一半，我们拒绝食用它们的器官、肠子和脑子等等部位。但在西方之外的社会、尤其是亚洲，人们通常是吃这些的，而且有时还会将其视若珍品。就吃下动物所有部位的意愿而言，中国和日本要远远排在大多数西方国家的前面。

Surely, then, one can’t object to eating shark fin? Yet one can and one should. The reasons are to do with conservation and our broader ecosystem. Some species of shark have been depleted by 70 per cent and a few, such as smooth hammerhead, bull sharks and tiger sharks, by 90 per cent or more. Sharks are the ocean’s top predators. Their absence causes havoc. Off the east coast of America, sharks used to eat bottom-feeding rays. With shark numbers massively depleted, the rays have had a field day devouring scallops, clams and oysters, rapidly reducing stocks.

这么说来，想必我们不能反对吃鱼翅了?不，我们可以反对，而且也应当反对。因为这关系到环境保护以及更广泛生态系统的保护。一些种类的鲨鱼数量已减少了70%，少数几个种类的数量减少了90%，例如平双髻鲨、牛鲨和虎鲨。鲨鱼是位于海洋食物链最顶端的捕食者。若没有它们，生态系统会发生混乱。在美国东海岸附近，鲨鱼通常以在水底觅食的魟鱼为食。由于鲨鱼数量急剧减少，魟鱼就会趁机吃掉很多扇贝、蛤蜊和牡蛎，使这些物种的数量迅速减少。

Once shark fins are dried and in jars, it is all but impossible to tell what kind of shark they came from or whether they were finned. At one store in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong, a city where half the world’s shark fin is traded, a salesman admits he has no idea whether the fins come from endangered species. His shop does not sell shark meat, and he says it could be true that the carcase is simply tossed into the sea. As well as the cruelty, there is also the incredible waste. The average shark stretches to about 10 bowls of soup.

鲨鱼的鳍一旦被晒干并放入罐里，便几乎无可判断它们来自哪种鲨鱼，或者是否是被割下来的。在鱼翅交易量占全球一半的香港，上环区一家商店的一位销售人员坦承，他不清楚店里的鱼翅是否来自濒危鲨鱼。他的店里不卖鲨鱼肉，并且他表示，鲨鱼的尸体被直接抛回海里可能是真事。岂止是残忍，这也是一种巨大的浪费。平均每条鲨鱼只能加工出大约10碗鱼翅汤。

Certainly, shark fin is traditional. As one writer points out, to ask people to stop eating it is the equivalent of suggesting Americans give up turkey for Thanksgiving. There is doubtless a case for banning other types of food, such as some types of caviar and some species of whale. But cultures are not immutable. Traditions change, especially when they are unsustainable.

不错，鱼翅是一种传统食物。正如一位作家所指出的那样，要求人们不吃鱼翅就好比让美国人过感恩节时不要吃火鸡。我们无疑有理由禁止食用其它食物，比如某类鱼子酱和某些种类的鲸。但文化也不是一成不变的。传统会发生变化，尤其是当它们难以为继的时候。

Fortunately, many of the most prominent campaigners against shark fin are Chinese, with Yao Ming, the recently retired basketball sensation, among the most passionate. In Hong Kong, where shark fin used to be de rigueur at Cantonese banquets, many young people refuse to eat it. Besides, sharks have less cachet now they are siphoned from the oceans on an industrial scale.

值得庆幸的是，在反对吃鱼翅的最著名活动人士之中，许多都是中国人，比如近期退役的篮球明星姚明，就是行动最积极的人士之一。在香港，鱼翅曾是粤宴上的必备菜肴，但如今许多青年人拒绝食用鱼翅。此外，在捕杀鲨鱼实现工业化规模的今天，鱼翅的身价已大不如前。

In Canada, more than a few ethnic Chinese couples have made a show of not serving shark fin at their wedding. Judy Lao recently told the Vancouver Province why she didn’t have it at her reception. “We don’t really care, our friends don’t care, and shark fin has no nutritional value anyway,” she said. “So why should we serve it?” Why indeed.

在加拿大，许多对华裔夫妇已做出表率，在婚宴上不供应鱼翅。Judy Lao最近向《温哥华省报》(Vancouver Province)解释了，为什么她的婚宴没有上鱼翅。“我们并不介意这些，我们的朋友也不介意，再说鱼翅根本也没有什么营养价值，”她表示。“所以，我们为什么要上鱼翅呢?”确实，这有什么必要呢?

在这个世界上，每一分钟都会有许多动物由于人类的捕杀而失去了生命。

无论天空、陆地还是海洋，只要有人类到达的地方就会有杀戮。人们为了一碗美味的鱼翅汤而大肆捕杀鲨鱼，使鲨鱼的数量急剧减少。但据科学家说，鱼翅的营养成分还不如一个鸡蛋高。不仅如此，人们还会用一种极端残忍的方法来捕杀它们。人们把鲨鱼打捞上船，用铁棒将它们打晕，割下鳍后，又会被无情地丢进大海，被人割了鳍的鲨鱼，由于无法游动，鲨鱼也没有鱼鳔，只能沉入海底，孤独地死去。当我看到那些没有了鳍的鲨鱼用尽力气，用自己仅有的尾巴拼了命地左右摇摆时，我情不自禁地想问：这些渔民还是人吗？动物也是一条生命呀！这些人怎么能如此残忍地杀害它们呢？

对于我们人类来说，看可爱的海豚表演是一件愉快的事情，可是在这精彩的表演背后，却是一幅血腥的景象。由于海豚对声音极为敏感，很小的声音对它们来说已经是震耳欲聋了。人们就利用这一点来捕杀海豚。人们故意在海中制造出很大的声音，把几百只海豚逼到一个岸边，然后放一张大网把上百只海豚困在里面，让驯养师来挑选海豚。如果被挑选上了就会被驯养师带走，而没被选上的海豚则被罪恶的鱼叉叉死，眼前是一片血海。人们为了赚到钱又把杀死的海豚送到海鲜市场去卖，供人们享用。被挑选上去演出的海豚也会很痛苦，在它们表演时，听到人们的掌声和欢呼声时会让它们产生极大的心理压力，最终它们会由于心理压力过大而选择死亡，所以人们会在表演过后给它们打针，让它们缓解压力，而海豚表演不是为了食物而是为了一针药剂。

鲨鱼游过了五湖四海，也没游出人们的餐桌；海豚翻过了惊涛骇浪，却没能翻过人们的渔网。通过这几件事我知道了，其实最残忍的动物就是人类。动物的今天也许就是人类的明天。我们不仅要热爱自己的生命，也要关爱动物的生命。我们应少喝一碗鱼翅汤，就能多救活一条鲨鱼；少看几场海豚表演，就能使海豚减轻不少压力。动物也有生命。请记住，这个蔚蓝色的星球不单单属于人类。
