被媒體愚弄的假故事?「母鹿目送孩子脫險」真正的故事很簡單
Posted on 17 2 月, 2017 by A-MO
這張照片,流傳著令人揪心的故事。
這是一隻母鹿,自己的小鹿遭到豹群攻擊,牠挺身而出,如臨刑就義般任由獵豹咬噬,毫不反抗,雙眼護送著自己的孩子脫離危險區。
朋友們有感於母愛的偉大,按讚按哭,不在話下。
查了一下,攝影師是一名生態攝影師Alison Buttigieg,
這張照片攝於2013年,照片公布後,在社交網站被有心人看圖說故事,編成了賺人熱淚的「母鹿目送孩子脫險」版。
真正的故事很簡單:
這是一個豹家族,攻擊一隻鹿。母豹為了教幼豹獵捕的方式,親身示範,。
幼豹玩心很大,邊咬邊玩,使得過程持續了數分鐘,而鹿仍然站得直挺。
最後是母豹結束鹿的生命,才結束了獵捕過程。
過程沒有所謂「母鹿護子」,是「母豹教子」,是非洲草原上每天上演的生存事件。
鹿的眼光呆滯,不是「目送孩子脫險」,純粹只是嚇得不知所措。
只是這樣的表情,讓想像力豐富的人有編故事的空間。
ㄧ方心碎,ㄧ方成長
Alison Buttigieg 覺得超不爽地說
「我也想知道,把照片改成這樣,是誰的餿主意。有人甚至指責我,問我為何不去救鹿媽媽!」。

A highlight of my photography career has turned into a nightmare. My Stranglehold photo went viral in a huge way with a completely ridiculous fake story accompanying it, and implications I fell into depression after I took it (seriously who comes up with this crap?!?) – not to mention the gross copyright violations. Sensationalism at its best – complete fiction so that people get more likes on their page. The photo with the fake story has been shared hundreds of thousands of times on various social media. I am getting inundated by hundreds and hundreds of messages asking me whether I am the “depressed photographer”. I have been tagged in LinkedIn with the fake story – that’s going to do wonders for my career. What a vile world we live in, full of stupid gullible people spreading #fakenews like crazy.
