Bear vomits due to human feeding

A bear vomited because it ate food fed by tourists in the Tianjin Zoo. This is not the first time that something similar has happened in the zoo, and even every year many animals die because of feeding by tourists.

In 2013, a water deer in Kunming Zoo died, after the autopsy found that the water deer had about 1 kg of plastic bags in its stomach, plastic bags blocked the digestive tract, resulting in the water deer's dysfunction and death.

How did these plastic bags come? It was fed by tourists not tourists deliberately feeding plastic bags, but with plastic bags with food, but the animals cannot distinguish between plastic bags, and a piece of it when eating, resulting in disastrous consequences.

In 2015, the Shanghai Zoo's three yellow fallow deer died one after another, the zoo's staff said that about six months before the death, the yellow fallow deer's state is not normal, healthy yellow fallow deer should be shiny and oily hair, but the three's hair is gradually dull, and even hair loss, incontinence situation.

After the death of 3 yellow fallow deer, the zoo to find out the cause of death, autopsy carcasses found that their stomachs are surprisingly large and small plastic bags.

Uncivilized visitors feeding food will be fed together with plastic bags, and the animals cannot distinguish plastic bags, resulting in accidental ingestion. Plastic bags into the stomach will affect the stomach peristalsis, as well as digestion and absorption, resulting in malnutrition, and hair loss, and over time will cause death.

In addition to feeding food with outer packaging, there are tourists directly feeding food with toothpicks or bamboo sticks, how sharp these things, I think we all know it, animals accidentally eat it will scratch the esophagus or digestive tract, the consequences are also very serious.

Then you may say, I feed some attention, do not feed with plastic bags, do not feed with toothpicks or bamboo sticks of food on it.

Still can not!

Why? Because the food you feed them does not fit their recipes, for example, golden monkeys, like a variety of plant leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds, etc., while some people feed them bread, feed carrots.

In 2012, a golden snub-nosed monkey, Yuan Yuan, died at the Beijing Zoo. The cause of his death was bizarre, as he had been eating and moving normally the day before, but on the second day he became depressed, less active, had a distended abdomen, and belched frequently, and the situation deteriorated at noon.

After the autopsy, it was found that Yuan Yuan had a lot of bread and carrots in his stomach, and these foods caused his abdominal pressure to increase and compress his heart and lungs, so that he died of respiratory distress and heart failure.

Then some parents may say, I did my homework before feeding, check the food they like to eat, and brought food without packaging, no foreign substances, so feeding always will not have any problems!

Actually, no!

The red gorilla "Tyson" in the Shanghai Zoo, long-suffering from high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood fat, and under normal circumstances, animals rarely suffer from these rich diseases, why Tyson is an exception?

It is because tourists are fed a lot of high-calorie food, resulting in them suffering from affluence.

The mandarin ducks of West Lake are even worse. West Lake is not a zoo, but an open park where many wild animals live, including mandarin ducks.

But tourists see that mandarin ducks are too cute, so they feed them a lot of food. The mandarin ducks did not refuse the food, which resulted in several mandarin ducks being propped up to death. The animals in the zoo have their keepers, the keepers will arrange their food according to the physical condition of the animals, and there is no need for tourists to feed them.

After the tourists feed, it will lead to animals picking up things that should not be eaten, and also not eating the food prepared by the keeper, resulting in poor health conditions and so on.

Many zoos will find ways to prevent visitors from feeding, such as: using glass to isolate animals and visitors, installing next-to-no-feeding signs to discourage visitors from feeding, and so on.

But right, many visitors will still feed, it seems to want to interact with the animals up close. But your interaction is going to kill it, some children simply do not understand the habits of animals, feeding them directly to human food, or even feeding them toxic plants.

In fact, not only the zoo animals, we deal with wild animals, but also did not keep a good distance, the news often appear wild golden monkeys down the mountain, and villagers or tourists feed them food behavior.

Feeding wild animals is even more dangerous because wild animals have their habits, human feeding will make them too close to humans, and even become afraid of humans. The most typical example is macaques.

Indians love monkeys so much that some temples are surrounded by macaque feeding sites, where they are not only numerous but also bold and aggressive, often hurting people. Indian macaques even kill people, they snatch babies, and these babies usually do not end up well.

Some of our tourist attractions are also haunted by macaques, even to the point of openly robbing people, snatching food out of their hands, or rummaging through their bags and beating them up if they can't find food, which is very dangerous.

This time the bear in the zoo vomited because of the feeding by tourists it is not the uncivilized behavior of individual tourists, but something that many tourists are not aware of and think it is trivial, that is why there are so many tourists feeding animals, and that is why so many animals die because of human feeding.
