Chapter 367 (1/2)

A tourist looked excited and kept shooting: ”it's really worth seeing this scene today!”

Some tourists are curious: ”can't tigers swim? Why don't you go down and get the ice cream yourself? ”

The companion on one side guessed: ”maybe the water is a little deep, it can't grasp it!”

Ice cream got a twig, took it in his mouth and ran happily. He rolled and lay down on the grass. His two claws pulled the twig and had a good time!

The little boys can understand the ice cream. They find that the branches also like to pick up and play. They hold them in their hands and pretend to be a sword. Great Xia cos or the brave fight with their little friends.

Simple twigs, pure happiness.

Meng Shi explained to the children: ”this big tiger is Jiao Jiao, an old employee of our zoo.”

Tell the children about tigers!

”Jiao Jiao has a good relationship with ice cream. Although ice cream is not her own child, Jiao Jiao completely treats it as her own child.

The last time I gave the ice cream an injection, the ice cream was very scared for the first injection. Jiao Jiao immediately got angry and yelled, which startled our veterinarians. It was the principal who calmed Jiao Jiao down. ”

Wang Haoran said curiously, ”does the tiger also need an injection?”

Meng Shi said with a smile, ”of course, I have to get an injection. I have to get a vaccine every year. But the tiger's needle is different from ours.

Jiao Jiao is a very spiritual tiger. She can understand the gardener's words, but she doesn't listen to us breeders very much. Recently, I've been training Jiao Jiao. If I want to command her to move, Jiao Jiao is very resistant and unwilling to cooperate with us. ”

”Training?”

”Do you want the tiger to jump into the fire ring?”

”I don't want to see the tiger jump into the fire circle. I like watching the tiger play with water and branches.”

The children also talked. Some were confused and others frowned.

Now there are few circus. Originally, children may have simply learned about circus on TV or in books. They think it is a word representing joy.

But after visiting the zoo and being edified, I instinctively have an aversion to circus.

Meng Shi explained: ”the behavior training in the zoo is different from that in the circus.

The first is the purpose of training. The circus trains animals, such as letting tigers jump into the fire circle. The meaning behind this performance is that human beings are above animals. Animals are human playthings. They are funny and even stupid.

This disrespect for animals will expand into disrespect for the environment and the same kind. It is a very barbaric and primitive entertainment.

The zoo trains animals to improve animal welfare.

For example, animals need injections to be healthy. Sometimes they need to take blood for physical examination. We can't explain to animals and let them understand the benefits of injection. Fierce animals such as lions and tigers can only be anesthetized to get an injection. It's not only troublesome, but also not very good for health. After training, animals won't be afraid of injection and will take the initiative to cooperate.

Another difference is the means of training. The circus's training is that hungry animals do not give food and whip animals. Taming animals through this means of negative punishment is very harmful to the physical and mental health of animals.

We train animals through positive incentives, reward them for eating delicious food and let them cooperate voluntarily... ”

Now the training is not very mature. In the future, visitors can visit how the breeder trains animals. Some exhibition areas have special supporting behavior training display surfaces.

”So it is!”

The children listened very carefully and deepened their understanding of what is respect for animals and love for animals.
