如果你对"青龙白虎"的文身花臂已不再感到惊奇，那么，如果是花背呢？ 如果这个花背出现在狗的身上呢？ 第27届亚洲宠物展览会（以下简称"亚宠展"）上就出现了这样一只小狗——通背的"青龙白虎"，红色、绿色、白色等花纹交织、叠加，从颈椎一直铺到尾 巴。它的脖子上还挂着"大金链子"，右前肢戴着"金手表"。 苏林夏正好看到了这只小狗。 8月20日，上海最高温39度，苏林夏刚从深圳落地上海，下午便赶往展馆。 她在各大展位间穿梭，走到E区的一个展馆前，遇到一只小狗。灰棕色、无毛，像她在电影《寻梦环游记》中看到的墨西哥无毛犬。 作为一个有文身的人，苏林夏的第一反应是难以置信。"是文身贴吧？"她心想。多看了几眼，她发现光泽度和颜色晕染，都不对劲。 "这是真的文身吗？"她开口问宠主。 "是啊。"宠主站在一旁，笑容满面。 苏林夏读懂了它的恐惧，人群越聚越多，她默默地转身离开了。 晚上回到酒店，苏林夏翻出照片，反复滑动屏幕，小狗的眼神总是让她不安。最终，她将那段经历发到了小红书上："……在小动物身上施加如此大的痛 苦来取悦自己和旁人，还要在展会上博眼球……只能说希望不要有别的小狗有这样的遭遇吧。" 笔记发布2天后，突破2万点赞，50 ...

Core Viewpoint - The global egg-laying hen industry is transitioning from traditional caged systems to cage-free models, driven by consumer concerns for animal welfare and food safety, government regulations, and corporate sustainability strategies. Group 1: Commercial Factors - Over 2,500 cage-free commitments have been made globally, with a transition rate of 75% in 2023, particularly notable in Europe (80%) and the U.S. (73%) [1][19][27] - The EU and several countries have banned or plan to phase out caged systems, while 10 states in the U.S. have prohibited battery cages, necessitating proactive planning by companies in regions without such legislation [1][30] - Transitioning to cage-free systems requires capital investment, with lower stocking densities impacting profitability and increasing feed and labor costs. Strategies to mitigate these costs include phased transitions, raising prices, securing contracts, and employee training [1][40][41] Group 2: Animal Welfare - Cage-free systems significantly improve the living conditions of hens, with no significant difference in mortality rates compared to enriched cages, and health issues can be managed through better design and management [3][61] - Cage-free systems allow hens to express natural behaviors such as flapping, dust bathing, and perching, which are severely restricted in caged environments [3][65] - Psychological well-being is enhanced in cage-free systems, with reduced fear and stress levels, leading to increased positive behaviors like exploration and dust bathing [4] Group 3: Human Factors - Consumers are increasingly concerned about hen welfare and are willing to pay a premium for cage-free eggs, believing them to be more nutritious, safe, and natural [5][6] - The nutritional quality of cage-free eggs can be superior under good management, and food safety risks are more related to management practices than the type of system used [6][7] - Farmers face challenges in transitioning due to costs and labor, but consumer demand and market access opportunities drive the shift, with professional training improving success rates [7] Group 4: Environmental Impact - Cage-free systems increase feed, electricity, and land use, with feed being the primary environmental impact source, particularly due to land use changes from soybean and palm oil production [8][9] - Strategies to mitigate environmental impacts include using alternative feeds, optimizing formulations, selecting specific breeds, and adjusting consumption patterns, as demonstrated by companies like Barilla and Kipster [9]

春末夏初，"去动物园"是许多人休闲放松的保留项目。红山动物园是近几年的网红动物园，好几次因为动物园里的"丑猴子"冲上热搜。 居住在此的动物们，常常乐于与人互动，但更多呈现出一种"想吃就吃，想睡就睡，想藏起来就藏起来，爱谁谁"的松弛感——你常常没法很快找到想看的 动物。这和动物园特别的设计有关，它以动物为中心营造了一个相对完整的生态，动物展露出的是相对自然的行为。 在红山动物园里面，我和每一个物种都对视过 段志鹏：沈园长，你第一次在动物园工作的时候是怎么跟动物交流的？怎么去看完全陌生的动物？ 沈志军：小时候我父亲带我去过动物园，我为人父的时候也带孩子去过动物园，但是那时候看动物真的就是一种娱乐。 等我真正到红山动物园当园长之后，我更多的是去看动物的状态，这个状态不仅仅是它们的行动，如踱步、跳跃、游泳、攀爬等表达出来的状态， 更多 的是通过它们的眼睛流露的状态。 在红山动物园里面，我和每一个物种都对视过。 时间久的话， 真的能从它们的眼神里面读出它们的内心世界，是欢快，还是有点恐惧、有点窘迫，抑或是有点烦躁。尤其是跟饲养员在一起了解更多 后，就会知道动物饿了会是什么状态，吃饱了、满足了是什么状态，它在不同状态的时 ...

【环球时报驻韩国特约记者 黎枳银】综合《韩民族日报》《京乡新闻》等韩媒22日报道，在韩国第21届总统大选进入白热化阶段之际，主要政党 候选人李在明与金文洙不约而同地打出"宠物牌"。分析认为，在老龄化与单身人口持续上升、孤独问题日益凸显的背景下，"宠物政策"正成为候 选人争取选民支持的重要筹码。 据韩国农林畜产食品部今年2月发布的《第三期动物福利综合计划》，截至2024年，韩国饲养宠物的家庭占比已达28.6%，相当于约650万户。韩 国统计厅数据显示，独居人口比例已超过三成，社会结构正加速迈入"宠物家庭时代"。另据韩国消费者联盟2021年调查，单次宠物诊疗费用平均 为8.4万韩元（约合438元人民币），82.9%的受访者认为相关支出"有负担"。在此背景下，动物医疗、福利和文化设施逐渐成为重要政治议题。 而国民力量党候选人金文洙则侧重"实用主义路线"，重点提出降低诊疗费、提升价格透明度。他主张将动物医院的所有服务项目标准化，并强制 公开收费标准，方便监护人对比选择。 不过，李在明和金文洙关于宠物的竞选承诺也引发不少争议。有动物保护组织称，虽然候选人均强调推动诊疗标准化，但考虑到动物品种与个体 差异，实际操作难度颇 ...
