许其正：台湾黑熊

台湾黑熊已经少到快绝种了

全身布满漆黑绒毛

雄壮硕大，体力超强

看似愚拙，却富于生命活力

老实忠厚，不主动攻击人

猎人却贪婪，昧着良心

千方百计设下陷阱

让忠厚无戒心的它们误闯

而加以捕捉、杀害

或直接喂以猎枪

以致相继折损，数量越来越少

甚至几乎濒临绝种……

它们是台湾的珍宝，台湾的图腾

是亟需保护的稀有保育类动物

不能让它们绝种呀！

这可怎么办呢？

寄望那些猎人良心发现恐怕不易

最好还是回到山林里去

它们本来就该深居在山林里

只是台湾的山林还有多少

保持原貌，没被入侵？

它们的命运和台湾黑熊

又有什么不同？

Black Bear of Taiwan 　Hsu ChiCheng

The black bear of Taiwan is on the edge of extinction

Covered with inky hair

It is strong and sturdy, of unusual physical strength

Seemingly awkward, it is full of vim and vigor

Loyal and faithful, it never takes the initiative to attack people

But greedy hunters, careless of their good conscience

Set up traps and snares to catch it

And the naïve black bear

Is thus caught and killed

Or fed with the hunting rifle

The number of black bears is accordingly reduced

Sharply to the edge of extinction…

It is the treasure of Taiwan, as well as the totem of Taiwan

It is the rare animal to be closely protected

Its extinction shall be prevented!

But what to do?

It maybe difficult for hunters to find their good conscience

It is better for it to return to the mountain forest

Which is its ideal place and shelter

But the mountain forest in Taiwan is also endangered

To keep the original status, free from any invasion?

Between the fate of the mountain forest and the black bear

What is the difference?
