动物保护人士竟倡议大家为蚊子献血？（双语）

An animal rights activist is facing unwavering ridicule for urging people to not kill mosquitoes, and instead give them the “blood donation” they need to nourish their future children.

近期，有一位动物权益保护者正在被毫不留情地群嘲，由于他居然倡议大家不要杀蚊子，反而要为它们“献血”，由于蚊子们需要血液来喂养蚊子孩子。

French TV presenter Aymeric Caron was answering questions for the animal rights channel Komoto.tv when he was asked: “What do we do if we are anti|special and we are attacked by mosquitoes?” Anti|specists are people who believe that all species should be treated equally.

法国电视节目主持人艾梅瑞克·卡隆，当时正在动物权益频道Komoto TV回答问题。他被问到：“假如大家是反物种歧视者，却遭到了蚊子攻击，大家该如何解决?”反物种歧视者觉得所有些物种都要被平等对待。

In an explanation that has attracted enormous criticism, Caron explained that mosquitoes who bite people are simply hunting "for protein to feed their developing eggs, and therefore their babies." The activist said the realization is“embarrassing for an anti|specist” because they are actually being bitten by a mother|to|be who has no choice but to risk her life for her future children.

卡伦随后的讲解也招致了猛如潮水的批评，他讲解说，叮咬人类的蚊子只不过在“探寻蛋白质来喂养它们发育中的卵子，从而喂养它们的后代”。这位动物保护活动者说，这一发现会“让反物种歧视者感到尴尬”，由于他们事实上是被一位准母亲咬伤的，这位准母亲别无选择，只能为了她将来的孩子冒着生命危险觅食。

“There is good reason to have a bad conscience if you kill a mosquito,” he said in the online video. “One can consider that a blood donation from time to time, to an insect who is only trying to nourish her children, is not a drama.”

他在网上的一段视频中说：“假如你杀了一只蚊子，你有充分的原因感到良心不安。”“大家可以如此想，你偶尔的献血，对一只想喂养孩子的昆虫来讲意义重大。”

Caron went on to claim that animal lovers should allow themselves to be bitten by mosquitoes, with the exception of people in Africa because of the risk of contracting malaria. He also suggested that people who don’t wish to be bitten should use natural repellents like citronella, lavender oil or garlic, and avoid wearing perfume.

卡隆接着说，动物喜好者应该允许自己被蚊子叮咬，不过非洲人除外，由于他们有感染疟疾的风险。他还建议，不想被叮咬的人应该用香茅油、薰衣草油或大蒜等天然驱蚊剂，并防止用香水。

Unsurprisingly, the suggestion was extremely poorly received and Caron was quickly branded a “fool”and

“dangerously irresponsible.” He was also the subject of a satirical article which claimed that he died of malaria and dengue fever after refusing to use mosquito repellent in an infested area.

不出所料，这一级建造师议反响极差，卡隆非常快就被贴上了“傻瓜”和“不负责任到危险的地步”的标签。甚至还有一篇专门讽刺他的文章，文章称，他拒绝在蚊子出没的区域用驱蚊剂后，会死于疟疾和登革热。

Other animal rights activists also rounded on the anti|specist. Toni Vernelli of Animal Equality said she would draw the line at “parasites that carry malaria and kill millions of people a year.”

其他动物权利活动人士也抨击了这位反物种歧视活动家。动物平等组织的Toni Vernelli说，她将对“携带疟疾并每年致使数百万人死亡的寄生虫”划清界限。

Following the backlash, Caron defended the comments to L’Express, saying the footage was only intended for an audience with an interest in anti|specism.

在遭到强烈反对后，卡隆在《快报》上为我们的言论进行了辩护，称这段视频只不过给那些对反特殊主义有兴趣的观众筹备的。
