Su Nian sighed, crossed her index fingers, and then slowly spoke, "Humans are at the top of the food chain on Earth, but in recent years, humans have consumed too much of the Earth's resources. There are many things that can actually be preserved by nature!"
The botanist's eyes lit up. He usually heard that everything should serve humanity, but theories like Su Nian's were rare. "I think so too. Can you be more specific?"
Su Nian nodded. "We raise livestock, use their fur and eat their meat. Originally, there was nothing wrong with this behavior."
"But now that medicine and technology have advanced, human life expectancy has increased significantly. This means that the Earth, which originally could support one billion people, will have to support two billion people!"
"These extra people also need meat to eat and clothes to wear. Where can we find food and clothes for them? The Earth has to provide all these resources!"
"It's like a family that can only accommodate 10 people suddenly has 20 people living in it,"
"To feed these extra 10 people, livestock are forced to mature faster and are killed for meat at a very young age," he said.
"Such meat is naturally not nutritious. You have to know that these animals themselves may still be calcium deficient, and because of the premature ripening, they will be injected with a large amount of hormones and drugs."
"The same goes for other resources. In order to produce enough resources for human use, plants and animals are forced to grow faster, but this goes against the laws of nature!"
Su Nian said confidently, "I've already done some research on nearby farms, and everyone says that because the meat market has been tight in the past two years, cattle and sheep have basically been slaughtered earlier than expected!"
The botanist's eyes lit up. "So?"
Su Nian smiled bitterly and pointed at the vast grassland. "I guess the genetic mutations in these animals and plants are an attempt to escape human slavery!"
The word slavery may not be appropriate here, because even slaves have to be on the same level as humans.
However, on Earth, humans are truly the masters of all things. These animals and plants are regarded as food by humans, and they are not even slaves.
However, this is exactly what Su Nian wanted to express.
The botanist nodded, indicating that he understood. "To be honest, Miss Su, I completely agree with your point of view. However, this view is truly incredible. Apart from anything else, this view spans the plant and animal kingdoms, and even includes humans. This means that no single discipline can independently explain this view!"
Su Nian slapped his forehead with a headache. "You're right. I'm a doctor, and you're a botanist. Even if we work together, we can't prove our professionalism!"
"So our opinions can only be guesses!" The botanist's face darkened. They have realized the consequences of over-exploitation of the earth's resources, but neither of them can do anything about it.
"It's not that there is no solution at all. We can try our best to promote our views, hoping to attract people's attention and save the earth's resources," Su Nian expressed his views.
The botanist nodded approvingly. "You're right. I originally just wanted someone to accept me, but there weren't many key people like that. Now that I think about it, if I could just have one person accept me, that would be a success for me. Even if the progress is slow, it's better than doing nothing!"
