the oxen once upon a time sought to destroy the butchers, who practiced a trade destructive to their race. they assembled on a certain day to carry out their purpose, and sharpened their horns for the contest. but one of them who was exceedingly old (for many a field had he plowed) thus spoke: "these butchers, it is true, slaughter us, but they do so with skillful hands, and with no unnecessary pain. if we get rid of them, we shall fall into the hands of unskillful operators, and thus suffer a double death: for you may be assured, that though all the butchers should perish, yet will men never want beef."

do not be in a hurry to change one evil for another.

一次，公牛们在一起商量对付屠夫的办法。【【快穿】黑化反派,宠上天】屠夫经常残害他们的同伴。在约定的一天，他们聚集起来实行预定的计划。一头年纪大的公牛对他们说:“那些屠夫确实是罪该万死，但是他们技术熟练，我们可以免除很多死亡的痛苦；如果我们遇到不熟练的新手，那么我们的痛苦就要加倍了。即使屠夫们应该得到应有的惩罚，但是我们又怎么能使人类不再有吃牛肉的欲望呢？”

不要急于去改变一种罪恶。
