Pet King

In recent years, with the improvement of people’s living standards, and people generally eating well and moving less, more and more people are getting obese, and there are also more and more obese cats. However, fat has different meanings for humans and cats. For cats, as long as they are not overweight, storing some fat is a good thing, so Zhang Zian has always just verbally reminded Fina not to eat too much, and has not taken any preventive measures…to avoid being killed.

Not all customers have the patience to slowly adjust the cat’s food intake, especially those who are not lacking in money and always use canned cats to feed their cats. Each time they feed the cats canned food, they think that reducing food intake by 1/2 or 1/4 of the can is too troublesome, and they might as well reduce the entire can.

A cat is a sensitive animal. When they notice an abnormal decrease in food, they will have a physical and psychological stress response—similar to “Why do you starve me when you have something to eat? Did you deliberately target me? To think that yesterday, I still caught cockroaches for you! “… The result is a fatty liver.

It is not a big problem for people with mild to moderate fatty liver, but fatty liver is very dangerous for cats. It is often too late when symptoms are found, which is cumbersome to treat, and success cannot be guaranteed.

Zhang Zian wasn’t sure that suspect Y has fatty liver, but when he heard that she eats vegetables and fruits as a staple food, he naturally associates it with the cat’s fatty liver. So he merely tried his luck. Besides, they didn’t know each other anyway, and It’s okay to say something wrong. However, he was really right.

There is no problem with vegetarian food. For example, some athletes are also vegetarians, as long as they have money. If ordinary people can spend 50 yuan a day and have balanced nutrition, vegetarians may have to double it because the calories in vegetarian foods are low and so they will have to eat more. However, it’s a problem just eating vegetables and fruits.

“Don’t you drink milk or take milk powder?” Zhang Zian asked.

The suspect Y replied subconsciously: “Of course not. Cows have been locked up in the bullpen since they were young. They lost their freedom. They are also injected with various drugs and growth hormones. When they grow up, they are forced to continue to conceive to give milk in exchange for money for the owner. This is tantamount to the abuse of cows. If you drink milk, you will become an accomplice to the abuse of cows. I don’t know if you heard a phrase before: no trade, no harm?”

There is no harm without trading … Zhang Zian is familiar with these words, like the mantra of the girl who strongly advocated adoption instead of purchase. It seems that this sentence can be used not only for pet adoption but also for animal consumption, at least for most aspects of it.

Suddenly, the girl in front of him seemed like the upgraded version of the previous girl.

Aunty Li listened to these words as if she were listening to two different sides of a coin. In her simple thinking, animals are animals, there are good animals and bad animals, there are useful animals, there are useless animals, and it is natural for people to drink milk. They can make your body strong and not sick. How can you say it is abuse? Besides, isn’t the medicine given to cows a vaccine to prevent them from getting sick? Rumors of injections of growth hormones seem to be rumors without evidence? Others also say that chickens sold in the market are grown up by injecting hormones …

She just didn’t understand the lifestyle of young people anymore…

She didn’t plan to argue with the customer, sighed, and was about to return to the kitchen when suspect Y called her again.

“Ma’am, may I ask if these cats belong to your shop?” Suspect Y pointed at the cat.

“Yes,” Aunty Li nodded.

“Will they be kept in a cage after closing?”

“It will be closed in a few hours … My husband and I will pack things up when we are done. My son is still at school. It will be a hindrance if they are going back and forth. It will also affect his learning. When we finish packing, we will put them back out and let them roam on the second floor.” Li Auntie answered truthfully.

Suspect Y regretfully said, “Don’t you think this is against the nature of a cat?”

“Nat… nature?” Aunty Li was stunned by what was asked to her.

“Freedom is the nature of animals. Although I also understand that many pet cats cannot live outdoors without humans today, even so, they should not be kept in cages!” Suspect Y’s tone slowed. “Of course, I took a look. The cats in your store are not bad. They are not forced to do some inexplicable performances to please humans. ”

Zhang Zian seemed to feel that she was talking about him and then saw Snowy winking at him. He knew in his heart what was coming–is this extreme vegetarian coming to my shop?

If you can relate the cat to a performance, then that’s his shop.

Snowy supported the phone on the dining table and hid her hands under the table. She placed both palms together and continued to apologize to him, saying that she could not help it and had to bring the girl.

Zhang Zian thought of the messages sent by the sand sculpture netizens, and roughly guessed the cause and process of the incident.

People do not eat vegetarian food for no reason. It is either because of some very rare illnesses or health needs, or because they are related to religion, or they are related to environmental protection and animal health. Generally speaking, these are the main three possibilities.

Listen to the tone. This aggressive girl is the third.

Adoption instead of purchase is not wrong, and environmental protection and animal health are certainly not wrong. No matter in the country or in society, environmental protection and animal health awareness are strengthening, but this should obviously be a long-term process. It takes hundreds of years of hard work. After all, even western countries with per capita income that are several times that of China have failed to achieve these objectives. In the current situation in China, promoting extreme environmental protection and animal health protection can only prove that you have nothing else that is better to do. This cannot prove how high your level of thinking is.

“Do you think that humans should not ride on the coattails of other animals? Also, unless absolutely necessary, they should not be detained or eaten?” Zhang Zian asked.

She immediately agreed: “You can say that people are part of nature and should live in harmony with other animals, so I refuse to eat any animal meat, eggs, and dairy products.”

Zhang Zian nodded, “Since man is a part of nature, and as I understand it, man is also a high-level animal, then the man should also follow the natural laws given by nature. Do you think people are omnivores or herbivores?”

She paused, frowning imperceptibly, “Although she is an omnivorous animal, she can restrain her desire and eat vegetarian food …”

“You see, when talking about animals, you talk a lot about not violating the nature of animals, letting animals enjoy the freedom and letting nature take its natural laws. However, when you are talking about humans, you said that you want to restrain your desires-as you said, ‘Human beings force other animals to change their nature is called abuse, but forcing themselves to change their nature is a virtue?’ Correct me if I am wrong, but does this not seem like a double standard?”
