Human wars force animal lovers to kill animals.
About the tragic story of the zoo during the war, the fairy tale "Poor Elephant" created by children's writer Yukio Tsuchiya at Ueno Zoo.
As the war intensified, it was pointed out that the animals were in danger of escaping from the air raids and orders were given to slaughter the wild animals. Elephants, lions, bears, crocodiles and many other animals have been killed.
Not wildlife. They are domesticated and beloved animals.
But a beast is a beast. In order to save people's lives, you have to kill them.
Life is not in order.
But at Ueno Zoo, bears are shot first because they are easy to kill.
However, the bear that was shot may still be happy.
After that, it was considered undesirable to use the bullets necessary for war against animals, which were killed in various more horrific ways.
Some were poisoned in their struggles and died in pain.
However, many animals do not eat poisonous food. In addition, some animals survived the poison due to unknown lethal doses.
Hungry elephants
The method of disposing of these animals is to strangle them.
Surviving animals such as polar bears and panthers have ropes tied around their necks and have been strangled to death by many adults.
Many animals die like this.
Elephants Wanry and Tonky, who could not be easily killed, were starved to death. Wanly and Tonky saw the goalkeeper and curled up their weak bodies together, stood up and began performing.
I used all my strength to dry up my body and struggled and stumbled.
They must have thought that if they were fed, they would get food as before.
Ueno Zoo's efforts spread to zoos throughout Japan.
About half a month later than Ueno Zoo, the Osaka Tennoji Zoo began to dispose of it, and many animals were killed one after another.
The only survivors are leopards and polar bears.
The leopards at the Osaka Tennoji Zoo are artificially raised and are said to have grown so familiar that they even let keepers enter cages to play with them.
"I'm happy when I stroke it as usual."
A later newspaper article written for children told the story of a leopard keeper. "I fed him poisoned meat three times and he immediately threw it up, and I had to strangle him.
I took the rope into the cage. When I stroked her body as usual, she was pleased. I put the rope around my neck. ”
It was also reported that when a keeper put a rope around its neck, the leopard looked both familiar and stunned.
The keeper speaks.
"When I gestured to the people outside the cage with the rope chopsticks, I jumped out of the cage, it was so terrible, I didn't want to see it."
I wonder if it hurts. Do you regret it? By the time the keeper returned to the cage, the leopard was dead and its paws were erect.
And this leopard was treated as scrap.
What are these leopard eyes staring at?
In the case of shortage of supplies, what kind of legacy does the creator of the artifact want to leave for future generations?
Beasts kill and eat creatures, but they don't fight.
The animals in the zoo are popular. People who love animals kill them.
That is war. #所见所得, very scientific ##knowledge ##我在头条做科普 #
