I would argue that people aren't necessarily more interested in animals now than before. Historically, animals were integral to daily life, serving as essential tools for work and transportation. Traditional societies, particularly those reliant on agriculture and hunting, maintained a close relationship with animals. In contrast, modern urbanization has created a disconnect, distancing people from direct interactions with animals. Furthermore, the allure of technology and digital entertainment often overshadows interest in the natural world.
我认为人们现在并不一定比以前更关心动物。历史上,动物是日常生活中不可或缺的一部分,是工作和交通的重要工具。传统社会,特别是依赖农业和狩猎的社会,与动物保持着密切的关系。相比之下,现代城市化导致了人与动物直接接触的疏离。此外,科技和数字娱乐的吸引力往往掩盖了人们对自然世界的兴趣。
