板鼻效應

[2013-08-17] “The Bambi effect” is a term used anecdotally or in editorial media that refers to objections against the killing of animals that are perceived as “cute” or “adorable”, such as deer or dolphins, while there may be little or no objection to the suffering of organisms that are perceived as somehow repulsive or less than desirable, such as pigs or an endangered fungus and other woodland creatures. 板鼻效應指的是受到此效應影響的人，將會極力反對人類殺害一般被公認為「可愛」的動物（特別是鹿以及其他的森林動物），但同時卻不會反對殺害那些「不可愛」的動物。這通常被視為一種不正常、不符合道義的心理現象。
