RELEASE

Story

A little girl got a little red fish on her birthday, and one day, she watched an animation of a little fish being imprisoned in a fish tank on TV. When she saw the fish hit the glass, she felt she had deprived the little fish of her freedom. Finally decided to set it free. When the little fish entered the river, he changed his appearance. It ate the aborigines and destroyed the original ecological environment. When the little girl passed by and saw this news, she walked away as if nothing had happened.

Is releasing animals the right thing to do?

I used to take it for granted, to bring animals back to nature, to their original homes. However, it was only in Urban Zoology class that I realized that brainless release could lead to serious consequences. Rascal the Raccoon (this animation also became one of the reasons why Japan's raccoons are infested). Whether it is an Australian rabbit or a Japanese raccoon, it is because of the release of animals that biological invasions eventually endanger the ecological environment. I have also released a lot of fish in the past, but I don't know what happened to them in the end. Animation greatly influences people's cognition and society, so I want people to be aware of this problem. From another perspective, this can also be regarded as an approach to animal and ecological protection. This warns people not to release them at will. I sought to add innovation to animal protection by approaching it from a new angle. By doing this, I also attempted to answer the question of the purpose of art in a societal context. Art should act as a mirror reflecting society; in this respect, animation can be a powerful and influential form of communication.
