Qinling Four Treasures Science Park
Staff responded
Anatomically found
The death of the golden monkey "Dot"
There is no direct relationship with feeding
"Dot" itself suffers from a disease
Death occurs after feeding
Just a coincidence of timing
But still appeal to everyone
Civilized garden visit
Do not feed haphazardly
It is reported that Qinling Four Treasures Science Park is a park with rare wild animal rescue, scientific research, artificial breeding and public nature education as its main functions, and belongs to the Qinling Giant Panda Research Center (Shaanxi Rare Wildlife Rescue Base) open to the outside world, with the world's largest artificial breeding population of crested ibis, artificial population of takin and artificial captive core population of Qinling golden snub-nosed monkey.
Previously
The staff said in an interview
There were more tourists some time ago
It was indeed fed very well
Reminder again
If you really like animals
Just watch from afar
Feeding privately
It will hurt them

In 2012, the golden monkey "Quanquan", a national first-class protected animal in Beijing Zoo, died due to stomach lesions and was rescued by puncture and deflatation, infusion treatment and other measures.
Beijing Zoo said that the analysis of the remaining feed samples showed that there was no problem with the feed.
The animal house where Quanquan lives often sees tourists throwing high food, and it cannot be ruled out that tourists feed and cause their death.
The orangutan "Sentai" of Shanghai Zoo has been plagued by basic metabolic diseases such as high blood pressure, high blood lipids and high blood sugar for a long time due to the crazy feeding of tourists.
On September 29, 2023, Sentai died of multiple organ failure in old age.
"When there are more tourists, it is difficult to find out which one is feeding."
A domestic zoo practitioner told reporters that in his work experience, he often encountered cases of animals eating too much due to tourists' feeding. But many times, the staff will first go to rescue the treatment animals, then confirm the cause, and then go to find out who fed them.
"This process can take hours, or even days, but tourists don't stay all the time, so it's hard to find."
Although many places have issued regulations to regulate tourists' behavior, such as the Beijing Municipal Park Regulations, which stipulate that tourists visiting parks are prohibited from intimidating, hitting, harming animals, or feeding animals in non-feeding areas, they will be ordered to make corrections for violations and may be fined between 50 and 100 yuan; If losses are caused, they shall be liable for compensation according to law; Where a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be pursued in accordance with law. "But when the number of tourists is large, the effect of the regulations is not obvious."
Now
Many visitors use the zoo as a place of entertainment
But don't forget
zoo
In fact, the primary positioning is
Natural environment, plants
and a conservation base for wildlife
Everyone should
To know and know
Wildlife habits
Preciousness, importance
Instead of using zoos as entertainment venues
to carry out harmful feeding
