Do We Have Priorities?
As we all know, there are many kinds of species living on the earth including human beings. Under the protection of the fantastic planet, we are breathing the clean air, tasting the delicious food and enjoying the numerous natural resource, which the planet providing for us, to improve ourselves physically and intellectually. Although we have got the power to reach the top of the food chain, do we have priorities over animals and other life-forms, or even have the right to sacrifice lives of other species to obtain our own benefits?
I think the answer is NO because each life-form occupies a special place equally and plays an important role within its ecosystem like human beings. Once human beings break the balance of the food chain, there may be unrecoverable destroy to the nature, which consequently punish ourselves in return. For example, the Sanxia Project does bring a lot of benefits to Chinese such as power generation and flood prevention, meanwhile, it also cause the extinction of many ancient animals and the dramatically change of world climate. People around have already been drought for several years since the Project is built. Human beings are too eager to get short term benefits to ignore what the damage will bring in a long term.
It seems that it is paradoxical to meet the needs of both animals and human being at the same time. What we should do is not concerning on ourselves’ endless ambition, then taking a consideration of the nature when there is a conflict. For our own sake, human being had better protect the nature as well as making
use of it. In a word, all species are equal to exist on the earth and human beings do not have priorities.
