Regardless of domestic or foreign zoos, there is always an area crowded with children, who exclaim with every move of the animals in the area. This overcrowded area is the Panda Pavilion .
Pandas have existed on the earth for 8 million years and are known as living fossils. Because pandas are plump, round, and have a naive expression, they have a natural sense of intimacy. It is called China's national treasure, and is also known as national beast .
Due to the low reproductive capacity of wild pandas, they once became an endangered species. It was not until recent years that the number of giant pandas increased slightly, but their total number was only 2,537, including 1,864 wild giant pandas and 673 captive giant pandas.
Giant pandas are only "rented" and not "given away"
There was a time when China implemented " panda diplomacy". At that time, pandas were given to some countries as national gifts, but after they were sent out, they were not taken seriously. Many giant pandas were in very poor conditions.
Not only do they not eat well, but their living environment is also very poor. Some giant pandas even die abnormally, and there are no death records. It feels like something you cherish very much, and you sincerely give it to others, but others just throw it into the trash can.
Although it is heartbreaking, but it has been given away, then the right of ownership belongs to others. Even if the giant pandas are treated unfairly abroad, they cannot intervene.
Starting in the 1980s, the free gift of giant pandas was officially ended and replaced by a long-term scientific research cooperation model, which is also the giant panda leasing model. If
wants to rent giant pandas, it not only costs about 8 million yuan in rent per year, but also has some very strict requirements. First, it must establish a suitable residence for giant pandas. Since giant pandas are lively and like to play, the required venue must be large enough to allow the giant pandas to have suitable space for activities.
Secondly, although giant pandas are omnivores, and wild giant pandas occasionally eat some meat, their favorite food is bamboo. Although there are many types of bamboo in the world, there are very few types of bamboo that they eat. Therefore, countries that rent giant pandas must purchase the bamboo that giant pandas love like our country.
like Qatar In order to invite the giant pandas "Sihai" and "Jingjing" to come over, not only a 120,000-square-meter panda pavilion was built in the desert, but the 24-hour air conditioner was adjusted to the temperature that the giant pandas like most. Moreover, 2,000 kilograms of fresh bamboo are flown in every week. Since the giant pandas have received Sichuan "education" since childhood, the breeders in Qatar have specially practiced Sichuan dialect in order to cultivate a relationship with the two giant pandas. It can be said that they have taken great pains for the giant pandas.
The Netherlands applied for 16 years to rent giant pandas, and was not approved until 2015. In order to create a living environment suitable for giant pandas, they brought back building materials and Chinese craftsmen from my country to build a Chinese-style giant panda pavilion for the giant pandas.
On the day the giant pandas arrived in the Netherlands, they were almost treated like heads of state. Not only were dozens of police cars clearing the way, but dozens of media and more than 120 Dutch and international journalists were waiting at the scene. It can be said that they took it very seriously.
Although some countries have applied to my country to lease giant pandas 14 times, they have not been approved due to climate and environmental sanitation and other reasons. Also, what if a giant panda drinks Ganges water and has diarrhea?
For this reason, India has given birth to "giant pandas" with extremely Indian colors based on its own national characteristics.
It can be seen that the treatment of giant pandas in the international community is related to the national strength of our country. When the national strength is not strong, even if it is given to others, others will not take it seriously. But when our country is strong, if you want to rent and keep, you not only have to queue up, but also have to accept strict conditions.
Giant pandas are abused, skinny, and have autism.
In all the countries where they are rented, they are doing their best to treat giant pandas well. Not only do they spend huge sums of money to build panda houses, but also the breeders practice Sichuan dialect in order to enhance their relationship with the pandas.
However, there is one country that is an exception. This country is the United States. This country's attitude towards giant pandas has always been very cruel. In the 1920s, the president's son actually entered a gathering place of wild giant pandas and "legally" hunted them. Due to the cowardice of the Republic of China government, he even turned on street lights along the way.
Nowadays, the status of pandas in the United States has not received due attention. The worst thing to say is that they are abused.
Normally, the giant panda we see looks like this
But in a zoo in the United States, the rented giant panda looks like this
As can be seen from the photos, not only the giant panda's hair has lost its luster, but also the eyes are blurred. The most important thing is that the naive giant panda has become thin and out of shape due to long-term lack of enough food, and some of its fur has also fallen off.
This American zoo is the Memphis Zoo in Tennessee, USA. The two giant pandas living in the United States are "Yaya" and "Lele". It is said that not only do the two giant pandas not meet the daily food intake, but the food they are fed is not fresh. Even the leaves of the bamboo that the two giant pandas eat are dry and yellow.
The picture below is a photo taken by an animal protection organization to condemn the behavior of Fes Zoo. Can you imagine what kind of life Yaya and Lele live every day?
Moreover, the facilities in the park are also relatively simple. Not only is the place small and there is not enough space for the giant pandas to play, the keepers never interact with the pandas, and even if it rains outside, they will not be put back indoors.
Malnutrition caused by long-term abuse, coupled with the inaction of zoo staff, has led to serious "stereotyped behaviors" in giant pandas. The so-called stereotype refers to the autism of the animals. Not only do they have dull eyes, but they also roar every day and bang their heads on the ground.
When she was overly sad, Yaya silently wiped away her tears
Since the news about Yaya and Lele spread back to China, it has deeply hurt the hearts of Chinese netizens, and some netizens exploded It turns out that Yaya and Lele are not the only pandas who have been treated unfairly in the United States. At the Smithsonian Zoo in Washington, the United States, there is also a giant panda named "Mei Xiang" who was also treated harshly. After giving birth to a baby, he was kept in an unusually small space, which caused big problems in his mental state.
Conclusion:
If giant pandas in a zoo are treated unfairly in the United States, it can also be said that a zoo is poorly managed. However, many zoos in the United States have treated giant pandas harshly. It can also be seen that this country does not take the national treasures cherished by the Chinese people seriously at all, and has never taken the Chinese people's goodwill in giant pandas seriously.
In today's environment of competition between China and the United States, this is a matter for the human world. Why involve giant pandas and take it out on animals? And their always ugly faces are also disgusting. With the video as evidence, they actually opened their eyes and told lies, saying that they did not abuse giant pandas. It is not surprising, this is their usual style.
only hopes that Yaya and Lele can be brought back as soon as possible so that they can end this nightmare life. We also hope that they can recover physically and mentally after returning to China.
