This matter|Does the fighting among tourists in the Beijing Wildlife Park really cause animals to follow suit?
On August 8, a different "official statement" at the Beijing Wildlife Park sparked heated discussion.
Will human fights really cause animals to follow suit?
Will the breeder really persuade the animals?
On the evening of the 8th, the official Weibo of Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Gardens and Forestry @武汉绿化 announced that according to the expert database member of the Chinese Association for Science and Technology "Source News" @二宝-杨毅科普, the animals in the zoo often fight It is because of grade, estrus or food distribution, which are instinctive behaviors and natural laws. Generally, they will not imitate human fights, and the breeder will not pull the fight. However, if the fight is inexhaustible, the breeder still needs to intervene in order to avoid animal death or injury. .
Animal os: Although we don't care about human fights at all, we have something to say, civilization visit the park!
@二宝-杨毅 also wrote on his personal Weibo that “good marketing is not to use tourists to fight for eyeballs, nor to talk about netizens as fools. Zoo management, animal behavior management, etc. Is particularly important."
Also on August 8, Zhang Jinshuo, Ph.D. from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and deputy curator of the National Zoological Museum, said on his personal authentication Weibo, "It seems that this statement is on fire? Is it marketing? What animal families follow? Did not say I think there are gorillas, but there are certainly no, but there are chimpanzees. I don’t know what kind of animals are raised in this ripping place? Animals have to fight often if they don’t imitate humans. Why did they lose control for a while? What is curious is that the breeder’s “patient education”, I don’t know how the education is done? How do animals know that fighting is not good? They are also “particularly bad”. Zoos should do a good job in popularizing science and propaganda, and should not mislead the public. Pseudo-science. But you have to admit that they are good at marketing, which is a good joke."
Earlier that day, the Beijing Wildlife Park issued a document through its WeChat official account that on the afternoon of August 7, 2021, two tourists had disputes over trivial matters while visiting the Beijing Wildlife Park. They then cursed and beat each other, and caused a large number of tourists and Onlookers of nearby animals.
The two parties reconciled after mediation by the local public security organs.
The Beijing Wildlife Park reminds visitors that the summer weather is hot, and it is most important to maintain a good attitude when traveling, and to ensure the safety of their families.
The news also mentioned, “According to insiders, it was the first time that the animals near the ripping place on both sides saw the fighting scene between humans, which impressed them. Some animal families followed suit in the animal shelter that night. Once out of control, it was only after the patient education of the breeder that the fight was not good, especially bad."
@CCTV News commented on this, an official statement that is both zhuang and humorous, which makes people can't help but laugh.
He condemned each other's behavior in a calm expression, and conveyed the expectation of civilization and ethics more meaningfully. This statement is worthy of praise.
Punching and kicking and slashing the hair is a bad example for my own children, and it may also damage wild animals, which is too undesirable.
"It's not good to fight badly", don't laugh, and be a civilized person with awe in your heart!
Qilu One Point published a review article saying that the statement of Beijing Wildlife Park can be said to be both humorous and funny, and the needle is hidden in the cotton. The text is serious and does not cover up the ridicule in the content.
Humans fight in front of animals. As a result, animals have to follow suit. Everyone can see that this is an uncivilized way of criticizing human behavior under the pretext of criticizing animals.
What's more terrible is that these animal families can realize that "fighting is not good, especially bad" under the persuasion of the breeder after imitating humans to fight, but the humans who fought at the beginning may not realize this.
From the author's point of view, of course we cannot say that humans are inferior to animals, but this official statement from the Beijing Wildlife Park has indeed made humans ashamed and ashamed of animals.
The successful "out of the circle" of the official statement has also inspired more people through this incident and have been warned. If some of human performance and behavior are not as good as animal civilization, then why do we think of human beings?
From this point of view, this is what many official self-media should learn from.
The criticism in the official statement that people have taught animals badly is of course only a kind of irony. It is humans who are really hurt by this incident.
It can be seen from the hot incident video on the Internet that there are children of minors held in the hands of the two parties in the conflict. As a result, the adults fight in front of the children. Imagine what bad impression will be left on the children?
Why can't we learn to solve problems calmly when we encounter disputes and contradictions with justification and evidence?
