Recently, we heard that some European and American zoos in order to control the number of animals and to ensure the genetic diversity of animals, a number of juvenile animals, the practice of euthanasia. I am very shocked, but also feel sad for those animals be put to death.
Is it in addition to euthanasia, and contraception, you can not take surplus animals in otherwise deal with the zoo breeding it? I initiated a number of forums in the voting, most people think the best solution is the excess animals to other zoos, even if the living conditions there are not exceptional. Your zoo why not do it?
The report said that about 50 zoos in the United States for more than half of female western lowland gorillas, birth control, but in China zoo gorillas is very rare animal. Chinese zoo is now only 10 gorillas, even worse, of which eight are male. Jinan Zoo and Zhengzhou Zoo each have an adult male, the Taipei Zoo has two adult male, the Shanghai Zoo has two adult male, two adult female, two male cubs (all from the same parents).
Due to a serious imbalance in sex ratio, the zoo can not be further breeding work. And the adult male gorilla can not be together, feeding, lonely cause great harm to the body and mind to these gorillas. Chinese zoo of course aware of this problem has been trying to introduce female gorilla from the zoo in Europe and America. Your side of the zoo is always bad living conditions in China zoo grounds and refused to gorillas sent to China.
Many European and American people are prejudice and misunderstanding, they always think that the poor environment of the Chinese zoo. I admit that the Chinese zoo environment than European and American zoos, but we have been actively zoo enrichment, and efforts to improve the living conditions of animals, especially in recent years, many of the zoo is progress at a faster rate. You been to China, visited some of China's zoos, zoo to you the impression how? What do you think of your ordinary zoo and wildlife park? Do you think most Europeans and Americans is consistent with the views and the actual situation of China zoo?
Since the zoo in Europe and America there are too many gorillas, why can not China zoo? The zoo in China is fully capable of feeding the gorillas. Moreover, the biggest problem facing the Chinese gorilla is lonely, and only you are willing to transport female gorilla, this problem can be resolved!
