News 1+1丨Two incidents of tiger killing people in three days! Whose fault?
In Zhanggongshan Zoo in Bengbu, Anhui, the breeder was bitten by a tiger and died because he went in to clean without ensuring that the door of the tiger isolation room was locked.
In the Peacock Valley Park, Danjiang, Xichuan County, Henan Province, the breeder was bitten and died while feeding the tiger. Two tigers also fleeed after biting the breeder. They were eventually shot dead due to repeated traps and unsuccessful traps.
Three days, two incidents, what should we watch out for in the face of tragedy?
"News 1+1" connects Huang Chengming, a researcher at the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the first chief science expert of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, to pay attention to: Who is to blame for a tiger biting a person?
Who can rent tigers for exhibitions? How to rent?
Huang Chengming:
① Does the owner of the tiger have a tiger breeding license?
Raising national first-class protected animals, especially beasts, requires special qualifications, capital maintenance, and technicians, otherwise it is not allowed to raise them.
②How is the lease contract signed by the tiger leasing party? Can the leasing party provide qualified breeding management and veterinary protection?
What kind of protection must be done in the zoo to keep ferocious beasts?
Huang Chengming:
Whether as a city zoo or a safari zoo, to raise ferocious beasts, you must have corresponding safety measures.
①Hardware guarantee
.
To establish an area for raising beasts, we must first consider how to ensure the safety of people and tourists. The beasts cannot run out, nor can the breeders or other personnel come into contact with tigers.
② Software Assurance
.
Establish rules and regulations and implement them in place. What should be done in the first, second, and third steps? Do not operate in violation of the regulations. Do not think that you have been raising a tiger for a long time, and you have been very close to the tiger and have a deep relationship. .
Under normal circumstances, it is often because of negligence to violate the operating regulations, and ultimately lead to the cost of life to get the lesson of blood.
Can anyone open a zoo? What qualifications are required?
Huang Chengming: To
open a zoo, you must apply for a domestication and breeding license, which includes quite a few procedures.
If you start a clothing business, you can just disband if you can't continue, but if you open a zoo and raise animals, you can't say that you can throw it to the government if you can't open it, so you need multiple protections.
①Funds guarantee, there must be sufficient capital support.
②Space guarantee, animals must have a certain amount of living and breeding space.
③The source of the animal must be legal.
④ A certain number of qualified veterinarians should be provided according to the number and types of animals to be raised.
⑤The breeder and management personnel must have experience, etc.
