htmlOn May 10th, @建川 Museum Village posted that, according to veterinarians, the 14-year-old sow "Pig Jianqiang", which is kept and managed by the museum, has entered a state of dying, "only for a moment." After the
news was released, many netizens sighed.
"Pig is strong" 14 years old this year
equivalent to nearly 100 years old of human ruins. At the time, it was more than 1 year old and relied on eating charcoal and water to maintain its life tenaciously. After being trapped for 36 days, it was finally rescued, and its weight decreased from 300 pounds to only 100 pounds. Since then, the pig has been named "Pig Strong", and it has been collected and raised by the Jianchuan Museum for 13 years.
htmlOn the afternoon of May 10th, He Ju, deputy director of the Jianchuan Museum, told Beiqing-Beijing Toutiao that "Pig Strong" is now 14 years old, "One year of a pig is equivalent to 6 to 7 years of a human, and now the 'Pig Strong" 'It is close to the centenary of human beings."
"Pig Qiang" came to the Jianchuan Museum and attracted much attention from tourists. He Ju said: "There are often tourists queuing up at the entrance of its barn, and we will organize people to maintain the order and let it live a good life." "These meals are specially made by the breeders. It eats better now, but its life expectancy is long, and the knee joints are not as good as before. It needs our breeders to support it to get up.
He Ju said that in the past, "Pig Strong" loved cleanliness very much. Every day, he would go out of the barn to "walk around" and excrete in designated places. "Although the breeder now cleans its barn several times a day, recently When I went to see it, I could still smell that the smell in the pen was stronger than before, which showed that its state was not as good as before. "
"Pig Strong" will be made into a specimen in the future
"In general, the lifespan of pigs is between 13 and 15 years, and "Pig Strong" is already a long life in pigs. As early as last year's Spring Festival, we were worried about whether 'Pig Qiang' could survive that winter. At that time, we added straw and cotton to the shed, but because of the cold weather, we could clearly see that it was shaking. That's it, it still holds up to this day. He Ju said that the museum will do its best to take care of the "pig strong" life until the last moment of its life.
However, He Ju admitted that the museum is currently preparing for the "pig strong" to leave. "We previously A new enclosure was built for it, and it is planned to make specimens in the future, so that it will continue to be displayed to tourists as a historical memory of the Wenchuan earthquake. "
According to reports, the museum is currently in contact with some specimen production units, hoping to find the most suitable specimen display methods, such as more advanced resin, plasticized specimens, etc.
He Ju said: "We ordered freezers, etc., and asked veterinarians to do inspection and quarantine for it. It was during this inspection and quarantine that the veterinarian confirmed that 'Pig Qiang' had entered a state of dying."
"Pig Strong" was once cloned
He Ju told Beiqing-Beijing Toutiao reporter that "Pig Strong" had undergone surgery when he was more than 1 year old, so he lost his fertility. He Ju said that two cloned pigs were sent to the museum at that time. “The two cloned pigs look very much like pigs, even the spots on their backs are very similar. It’s a pity However, for various reasons, the lifespan of these cloned pigs failed to catch up with the mother's 'pig strong'. "
" "Pig Strong" is a precious historical memory left to us by the Wenchuan earthquake, and we hope it can live longer. He Ju said that there are still two days before the 13th anniversary of the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake. "
