Show caught in crosshairs 1

李星玥

Wonderful Friends, a 3-month-long reality show on Hunan TV, came to an end on March 28th. But the debate it aroused is far from dying out.
湖南卫视真人秀节目《奇妙的朋友》历时三个月，已于上月28日完结。但是，因之而起的争论却从未停歇。

The weekly show features interactions between animals and six celebrities working as zookeepers in Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou. The show is a programming success for Hunan TV.
这档周播的真人秀节目聚焦动物与人类的交流，邀请了六位明星担当广州长隆野生动物园的（实习）饲养员。节目由湖南卫视制作，可谓大获成功。

“People are more interested in TV shows with celebrities than in documentaries,” animal protection expert Deng Xuejian told Netease News. “The program is a good way to get people closer to animals.”
动物保护专家邓学建在接受网易新闻采访时表示，“较之纪录片，人们更喜欢看有名人参与的电视真人秀。这档节目有助于人与动物建立更加亲密的关系。”

However, animal welfare advocates say that is exactly what should be avoided.
但是，动物保护主义者们却认为，这恰恰是应当避免之处。

“It is hugely misleading to the public about the needs and welfare of captive animals,” Dave Neale of Animals Asia, an advocacy group based in Hong Kong, said in a statement.
戴夫•尼尔来自总部位于香港的亚洲动物基金，他在一则声明中表示：“这档节目严重误导大众，让他们对圈养动物的需求与救助产生误解。”

In one scene, celebrities took two baby chimps out and competed to buy the best clothes for them. One of the two chimps suddenly became restless and bit Myolie Wu, one of the star zookeepers.
节目中，明星们曾带着两只猩猩幼崽去（游客区）买衣裳，比赛谁买得衣服更好。其中一只黑猩猩突然变得焦躁不安，并咬伤了明星饲养员胡杏儿。

In another scene a baby chimp was placed near its father to demonstrate that the older animal would treat the infant as a stranger. The baby becomes distressed and the chimp’s father appears anxious and throws a rock at the TV crew.
节目的另一幕中，为了证明成年黑猩猩会对自己的幼崽置之不理，小猩猩被放在了父亲的身边。小猩猩变得紧张不安，而大猩猩父亲也变得焦躁、并向电视台的工作人员扔石头。

The TV company created “stressful and harmful situations” to provoke entertaining storylines, said the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
世界动物园和水族馆联合会认为，节目方为了制造娱乐性的故事情节，将动物置于“有巨大压力和有害的场景”之中。

Despite the criticism, Animals Asia founder and CEO Jill Robinson has witnessed a significant rise in the number of Chinese citizens showing concern for animal welfare.
尽管遭到批评，但是正如亚洲动物基金创始人兼CEO谢•罗便臣所见，越来越多的中国人开始关心动物保护。

“When I first began working in the country from 1985 there was one welfare group in Beijing and now there are over 100 spread across every province,” Robinson said on the website of Animals Asia. “Today, we work with them to give a voice to wild and companion animals and provide a convincing argument as to why they should no longer be exploited as entertainment, ‘medicine’ or food.”
她在亚洲动物基金网站上写道，“1985年，我刚来到中国工作时，只有北京一家动物保护组织，而现在全国的动物保护组织已经超过100个，覆盖了全国各省。我们现在与这些组织一道努力，为野生动物及宠物发声，告诉人们为何不应将其作为娱乐的对象、‘药材’或是食物。”
