You Are My Entire World

"It's about sixty to seventy years." Shen Mochen replied lightly, and then asked: "Then do you know how long the dolphins in the aquarium can live?"

"Fifty years?" Taozi thought for a while, then looked at him uncertainly.

Shen Mochen shook his head lightly, his black jade-like eyes stared closely at Tao Zi's innocent eyes, and said in a distant voice as if floating from the sky: "Wrong, about eight years or so. "

"So short?" Taozi's eyes were full of astonishment, "Why?"

"Because the smile of a dolphin is nature's best camouflage." Shen Mochen sighed deeply, looked at Taozi with some unbearable heart, and continued: "When we watch dolphin performances in the aquarium, most people are attracted by it. They are deceived by their smiles, but in fact they are not happy."

"Dolphins are animals with very sensitive hearing. Their auditory system is very developed and can distinguish various sounds from low sound waves to ultrasonic wide-band sound waves. Therefore, their hearing is a thousand times sharper than ours. It is precisely because They are extremely sensitive to sound, so when dolphins are captured by humans and imprisoned in an aquarium for entertainment performances, the sound of music, cheers from the audience and various small noises are an auditory continuation for them. torture."

Shen Mochen paused, glanced at the noisy crowd around him, frowned and continued: "The huge pressure of the performance and the harsh sound caused most of the dolphins to suffer from stomach ulcers, and they had to rely on medicine for treatment. Holding bottles of antacids and stomach tyrants keeps them alive, so that they can continue to show the most gentle and beautiful smiles. Even a normal person will go crazy in a highly noisy environment, let alone dolphins .”

"..." Taozi was silent. She never knew that the dolphins were performing with their lives, and she didn't even know that such a performance was a kind of pain for the dolphins. She raised her head and looked at Shen Mochen. The eyes slightly blocked by the hair on his forehead contained deep pity. No wonder he frowned when he said he was going to see a dolphin show. She thought he hated crowds. When he clapped and shouted vigorously, his face was expressionless. It turned out that he knew that this was hurting the dolphins.

When life becomes so heavy in captivity, when they can no longer swim in the vast ocean at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, when they can no longer dive to the depths of 300 meters to play and play, They can also be down, depressed, depressed, and defiant to the death.

Richard Oberry, who was once the world's top dolphin trainer, saw one of his domesticated dolphins choose to commit suicide. The dolphin, named Casey, swam into Richard's arms, looked him straight in the eyes, took a breath, and then took no second breath...

Unlike humans, dolphins and other cetaceans do not breathe automatically. Therefore, every breath is a conscious effort for them. Therefore, when they no longer want to bear the pressure of survival, they no longer take in the next breath of air, which is dolphin suicide.

After Tao Zi knew all this, she suddenly became very depressed.
