内容简介 · · · · · ·
这本发人深思且令人惊叹的作品,探索了如今人与驯养动日益深刻的关系。对动物的驯养改变了人类发展的历史轨迹。但是,动物抛弃原来的野生生存环境,换得人类的驯养与保护,又是这样一种发展和情景?归顺人类的驯养令动物大大增加了生存的成功率,但这种成功也有它的弊端。一只乳牛每天产奶消耗的能量相当于一位环法自行车赛选手;野猫数量众多,挤满了城市地区;我们对马或狗的育种方式,会导致其先天体质虚弱,有时甚至会导致致命的基因疾病。但是,只要我们有信心和同情心,这些问题都可以被解决。人类价值观和所做出的选择,在很大程度上决定了一只动物的一生,这种决定甚至发生在动物出生之前。就如同雕塑家的双手塑造一块黏土,人类价值观塑造了存在于我们身边的动物——这种塑造,有好有坏。在这本令人大开眼界的书中,作者加文·艾林格(Gavin Ehringer)主要关注了动物育种这一普遍存在却少有人仔细审视的行为。你将在书中读到,从牛排提取物中被克隆出的奶牛,一匹价值750万美元的夸特马种马(一种短程赛马),一种在黑暗中会发光的中国犬,一场专门展示无毛猫和其它可爱变种猫的丹佛猫展……千万年前,动物远离荒野,循着火光走入人类世界,而如今这一结果,是否是它们所希冀的?
