On the streets of Brazil , people taking a break take their dogs out for a stroll. Brazilians are not busy at work, so people like to go out and walk their dogs the most, and this has gradually become a kind of social interaction for people.
However, one family is different from the others. When his "pet" appears, all the dogs on the street stay away. This has been the case for nearly 9 years.
This special pet is an adult tiger, and the person holding it is Lao Bo, the "warrior" in the hearts of the neighbors.
Every time Lao Bo takes his tiger out for a walk, it attracts everyone’s attention. Even though it has been 9 years since he saw it, the neighbors still can’t help but sigh, “No one will dare to go to Lao Bo’s house in the past 9 years.” Looking for trouble".
Yes, this is probably the tiger's "snack" delivered to your door.
Then why would a person keep a tiger at home and keep it for 9 years? This matter of
has to start from 9 years ago.
html Before 2009, Lao Bo was still a member of the Brazilian Animal Protection Association. He had always been fond of small animals since he was a child. Soon after he started working, he joined the Animal Protection Association and was determined to do something for the abused small animals.Over the years, he has followed the members of the association and rescued dogs that were kept at home without food and water by their owners, as well as skinny cats that were kept...
These countless examples made Lao Bo consider raising pets on his own Lao Bo was extremely serious about his choice. Both his wife and children wanted to get a dog, but they had not decided whether to adopt one or choose one from a pet store, so the matter was put on hold.
However, the family never expected that this choice would actually have an answer a few months later.
html One day in May, the Animal Protection Association where Lao Bo worked received a report from someone. In a local circus in Brazil, a tiger under one year old was abused. The trainer often beat him with a whip and refused to eat. full.
The whistleblower claimed to be a circus support worker and could not bear to see tigers being mistreated, so he came to report, hoping to get help from the Animal Protection Association.
People from the Tiger Animal Protection Association have heard about it for a long time. After all, the publicity all over the streets some time ago can be seen as long as you walk on the street. But if it is really animal cruelty, then this zoo has violated the law.
Thinking of this, people from the Animal Protection Association held a meeting. First of all, someone borrowed the opportunity to watch the performance to understand the situation. If the little tiger's condition is really bad, then people from the association will come forward and directly intervene.
The person who was invited to watch the performance was Lao Bo. Lao Bo chose a time for the special performance of a tiger in a ring of fire. After
entered the venue, the atmosphere in the auditorium was very lively. The venue was surrounded by iron wires to prevent injuries to the audience. Among the five or six tigers, Lao Bo saw their target at a glance. One of them looked like only five or six tigers. The one-month-old tiger cub looked sleepy, and there was a trainer beside him who was constantly communicating.
The little tiger looked a little malnourished, and his fur was dull, as if he hadn't eaten enough for several days.
Lao Bo’s eyes were basically on the little tiger throughout the whole process. The little tiger was obviously not very cooperative with the trainer. There were very few completed projects. Lao Bo’s position was very close to the center of the field. When the little tiger arrived When he came forward, Lao Bo saw the faint scars on the little tiger's legs. Lao Bo was now basically sure that this circus was suspected of animal cruelty.
After returning home, Lao Bo reported his situation to the Animal Protection Association. After research, Lao Bo led a team to conduct a surprise attack with the circus.
After inspection, Lao Bo discovered that there was not only one tiger, but also a young tiger who was recovering from his injuries in a cage. After
's injury examination, it was confirmed that the circus has reached the level of animal cruelty. The Animal Association will hold it accountable and the circus will also suspend operations.
However, although the circus is temporarily closed, the whereabouts of the little tiger have not yet been decided.
At the Animal Protection Association, there is no room left to adopt tigers, and tigers will also have an impact on other small animals.
Lao Bo looked at the two weak tiger cubs and finally made a decision to take the cubs home and raise them.
Of course, for such a big decision, Lao Bo still consulted his wife and children in advance.
The children were looking forward to the tiger's arrival, and his wife also supported Lao Bo's actions.
After getting support from his family, Lao Bo built a place for the little tiger to live in his yard. After the tiger's injuries were almost healed, he took the tiger home.
The children also named the two tigers, David and Green. While David and Green were recovering from their injuries, Bo often took the children to the animal hospital to visit the two tigers, with the purpose of keeping them safe. Get familiar with the atmosphere of your family as soon as possible.
And David and Gus lived up to expectations. When they came to settle down in Lao Bo's home officially after recovering from their injuries, they got along very harmoniously with their family members.
Lao Bo gets up every morning and prepares breakfast with his wife. His wife prepares breakfast for his family, and Lao Bo prepares breakfast for the two tigers.
Raising tigers sounds very majestic, but the cost of raising them is not low.
Two tigers consume at least thirty kilograms of meat in one day. This is before they reach adulthood. When they reach adulthood, the demand will be even greater.
Lao Bo’s three daughters really like the two tigers, which sounds more prestigious than raising dogs. Every day, the two daughters will play with the two tigers for a long time, and the youngest daughter will also ask to touch them. Touch this "big cat".
Tiger got along very happily with Lao Bo's family. He seemed to be able to sense the family's love and concern for him, and he ate and played with the whole family.
Of course, if the youngest third daughter came to play with the two tigers, the two tigers would lie down obediently and let the little ones touch them. Many times, after the wife finished her work, she came to the yard to look for the children. When we were together, we could often see David and Green on the left and right, while the little daughter was sleeping soundly between the two.
Of course, David and Green get along well with Lao Bo's family, but others don't think so.
Those are two tigers. Whenever Lao Bo and his daughter take the tigers out for a walk, the surrounding area always becomes a vacuum. No one dares to approach them, for fear that the tiger will suddenly become animalistic and hurt people.
Some people also feel that Lao Bo's family has ignored the nature of tigers by keeping tigers in their own home. Tigers should live in nature rather than being raised in human society. This is also abuse.
Lao Bo disagrees with this.
"David and Green were rescued from the circus. They are no longer suitable to live in nature. As for hurting people, we have people at home almost all the time, and we give David and Green enough With respect, food and love, they now trust us very much.”
Many people still disagreed with Lao Bo’s words, but at this time the Animal Protection Association also stood up and said that Lao Bo took the tiger home to raise. , is a decision made after the Animal Protection Association’s inspection and joint deliberations. After the
Animal Protection Association spoke out, the objections against Lao Bo's family for raising tigers gradually subsided. Of course, for Lao Bo, these objections did not have much impact on himself and his family.
During the daily dog walking time, it is still someone else who walks the dog and he walks the tiger, which looks really different.
Lao Bo's three daughters have gradually grown up in the company of Tiger. The eldest daughter and the second daughter have also gotten married.
The husband of the eldest daughter said he was cool with his father-in-law’s behavior of raising two tigers, and soon took over the behavior of walking the tigers every day. The husband of the second daughter said that he respected his father-in-law’s love for animals. , but he was very scared and avoided direct contact with the tiger.
As for the youngest third daughter, in the company of Tiger, this little girl grew up very quickly. Because she had Tiger as her "backer", no one dared to provoke the third daughter since she was a child, and she soon grew up to be a generous person. little girl.
It has been nine years since the tigers were rescued. The two tigers also gave birth to a litter of cubs one after another, but only three survived.
As the tiger cubs gradually grew up, Lao Bo had a plan to breed tigers. He also looked forward to the day when these tigers could be released into the wild. However, this plan was quickly stopped by the local Animal Protection Association.
With the contact of the Animal Protection Association, these three newborn tiger cubs were accepted into the nature reserve newly established in recent years after they turned one year old, and they officially began their rewilding training.
David and Green were not accepted by the reserve because they lived well in Lao Bo's home. Lao Bo also felt that David and Green could be better cared for in his own home.
After nine years of getting along with each other, the neighbors have become able to get along with the two adult tigers very naturally. After all, there has not been a single incident of a tiger hurting anyone in so many years.
