Canada's Panda "Sasa" returns to China due to difficulty in procurement New Corona 8:13 on May 14
Two giant pandas kept in a Canadian zoo will be returned to China. Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, it became difficult to procure food rations, and we decided to return them to the places where there are many rations.
The two giant pandas to be returned are the female "Arshun" and the male "Damao" at the Calgary Zoo in western Canada.
The two were loaned from China to Canada under a 10-year contract from 2014, and have lived in this zoo since 2018.
At the zoo, food is ordered from China to feed two of them, but the direct flights between Calgary and China, which were the means of transportation, were suspended due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
For this reason, the zoo sought other import routes, but as a result, cargo was delayed and the pandas could lose their freshness enough to refuse to eat.
It means that about 40 kilos per day is required for one pet, but at the zoo, the second wave of the spread of infection will completely cut off the route for obtaining the pets. The place is the safest place for the two, "and decided to return it to China.
