This week, Canadian singer Bryan Adams took to Instagram to encourage his fans to better understand the extent of human exploitation of animals in every industry. Adams shared a popular animated video created by United Kingdom-based illustrator Steve Cutts and captioned it “the most dangerous creature on earth.”

加拿大著名歌星布莱恩·亚当斯（Bryan Adams）在本星期到照片墙（Instagram）上发贴，鼓励他的广大粉丝们更好地了解人类在各行各业剥削压榨动物的严重情况。亚当斯分享了英国插画家史蒂夫·卡茨（Steve Cutts）制作的一部广为流传的动画视频，并为之配上文字“the most dangerous creature on earth”（“地球上最危险的生物”）。

The video depicts a human dropping down onto the earth 500,000 years ago and carelessly walking through various scenes where innocent animals greet him before he turns them into commodities—a moving depiction of how humans casually exploit reptiles for their skins, seals for their fur coats, elephants for ivory piano keys, wild animals for entertainment, and farmed animals for food, while polluting the planet along the way.

这个视频描绘了五十万年前一个人（人类）降临到地球，大摇大摆、随心所欲地走过一系列场景；一些天真无邪的动物在欢迎他（那个人），而他却（冷漠无情地）将那些动物变成了商品──视频内容生动刻画了人类肆无忌惮地剥削压榨爬行动物（制造皮革）、海豹（制造裘皮大衣）、大象（制造象牙钢琴键）、野生动物（进行娱乐表演）和农场动物（生产食品），同时一路上还到处污染地球环境。

Adams has been vegan for 30 years and after turning 60 in 2019, credited his plant-based diet for his youthful appearance.

亚当斯本人奉行纯素食主义长达三十年之久。2019年庆祝60岁生日之后，亚当斯将其常驻的青春容颜归功于自己的植物性饮食方式。

“When I first stopped eating animal products, everyone thought it was a phase,” Adams said in a recent Instagram post. “That was 30 years ago. And in the beginning I wasn’t sure I’d get everything I needed from plants. I’d been brainwashed like most of society to believe that we needed to eat animals. But we simply don’t.”

“我第一次停止食用动物制品的时候，所有人都觉得我撑不了多久，”亚当斯最近在照片墙发帖吐露心声。“那可是30年前的事了。刚开始的时候，我也不确定从植物中是否能获得自己需要的一切（营养）。（因为）当时我跟社会上大部分人一样被洗脑了，都以为我们需要吃动物。但是（实际上）我们完全不需要。”
