新冠肺炎疫情视野下人类食用野生动物的道德反思

Moral Reflection on the Consumption of Wild Animals in the Context of COVID-19 Epidemic

新冠肺炎疫情全球暴发引起了人们对食用野生动物的反思和追问。远古人类因环境恶劣导致食物极度缺乏,捕食野生动物具有道德正义性。但随着人类社会的不断发展,禁食野生动物应当成为必然趋势。其道德依据和原则有三点:一、人类与野生动物共生共荣,应当遵循生态整体性的道德原则;二、人类与野生动物应属"同类",应当遵循生态公正性的道德原则;三、人类对野生动物负有最高道德责任,应当遵循辩证生态主义的道德原则。而只有摒弃极端个人主义和极端国家利己主义、抑制人类贪欲才会迎来人与野生动物和谐共处的未来,否则只会给人类带来伤害。

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has prompted some reconsidering about the consumption of wild animals. As a result of the bad environment led to the extreme lack of food, ancient humans have a moral right to eat wild animals. However, with the development of human society, it should be an inevitable trend to fast wild animals. There are three points of moral ground and principle: 1. Humans beings and wild animals have a symbiotic harmony relationship, we should follow the moral principle of ecological integrity;2. Human beings and wild animals belong to the same species, we should follow the moral principle of ecological justice. 3. Humans beings bears the highest moral responsibility to wild animals, we should follow the moral principle of dialectical ecologist. Only by rejecting extreme individualism and extreme national egoism and curbing human greed can we usher in a future of harmonious coexistence between human beings and wild animals. Otherwise, human beings will only cause self-harm.
