hunting license, too.

“I can't tell you how many people I talk to who view hunting as a part of a larger, personal goal of sustainable eating,” Shaw says.

Of course, characterizing hunting this way blurs many lines. To some, shooting animals cannot possibly be an environmentally friendly activity. The existence of “hipster hunters” is also limited by cultural attitudes toward guns. It's almost impossible to legally own a hunting weapon in Brooklyn. But hunting wild animals requires the preservation of wild land —certainly an environmental plus 一— and if you're going to eat meat, hunting has a lot going for it that industrial farms do not The animal lived a free and natural life, up to its last day.

Add to this the fact that some game populations have grown unnaturally large due to the lack of predators(食肉动物).The East Coast is filled with white-tailed deer. Geese take up residence on golf courses, and wild pigs wander through the woods. In his 2012 book Nature Wars journalist Jim Sterba argued that more humans live in closer contact with wild animals than at my point in history. Hunting can keep a check on that.

Hunting can keep a check on our appetites too, Susan Cameron Devitt, a biologist who recently moved from Florida to Texas, notes that one of the things you learn quickly from hunting is how much labor goes into producing a meal. ” If you buy meat at the grocery store, you can eat three servings a day, but if you imagine trying to keep that up with hunting, it just wouldn't be possible,” she says.

Which brings us back to holiday tables? In the original version of Thanksgiving and Christmas, these were special meals, based around dishes you wouldn’t eat frequently. These days, you can buy turkey whenever. A wild turkey, caught and then cooked, is a different matter. A speckle-belly goose elevates the Christmas dinner in a way a regular supermarket ham does not.

When you know where your food comes from, when you've labored to bring it to your table, you more naturally feel grateful for the amazing abundance of this planet.”There's no better way to engage with nature than to seek dinner within it.”says Shaw. 66. What can we learn about the trends?

Empathy is our inherent ability to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within the other person’s frame of reference. It allows us to connect with others who seem different, making us more aware of the things we have in common. When we tune in to cmpathize with others, we are more likely to act with sympathy to help reduce their suffering. And, when we increase our caring for the

environment, we are more likely to make choices that help preserve it for future generations.

Although empathy is a vital element of our nature, research suggests that empathy can be taught, and that contact with people who are different from us in a safe, empathic way is the first step toward reducing prejudice. This is where museums have a role to play. Museums are safe and informal learning platforms, uniquely equipped to encourage visitors to imagine, explore, and experience rich human heritage and the natural world firsthand. They have the capability to bring together arts, technology, sciences, and literature to show how all living things are linked to each other.

Museums inspire empathy in us in a number of ways. Through their social and educational mission (使命），museums can provide a safe space for experiencing our collective behavior, knowledge, complex histories, and values. By putting people in closeness to other people’s experiences, their cultures and stories, museums can help us awaken to different realities and multiple perspectives (视角）that exist around us. Personal and diverse encounters (意外的相遇） with people from other cultures —and their ideas, stories, and artifacts —create opportunities for authentic dialogue with“the other”： someone who is different from us, but shares our world. Also museums often present the stories of people and places far away. Telling stories from the point of view of the people and cultures featured can also increase our sense of shared humanity, as we see how others face fears, biases, and challenges similar to our own. More importantly, museums encourage contemplation (沉思）of our world by providing a space where we can slow down and be with what is before us. Unlike many everyday settings where the goal is clear, people explore in museums on their own schedule, moving from exhibit to exhibit as they see fit, following their own internal guidelines. This naturally allows for a more reflective experience. Through this reflection, visitors can acquire a deeper understanding of the viewpoints of others and recognize their own connection to all of humanity and the planet.
