What happened to Wei Wei, the giant panda, who was abused? Severe limb wear and sub-health

The naive giant panda is not only an emissary of peace, but also a symbol of friendship, loved by the people of the world. As a national treasure level animal, giant panda deserves the most meticulous care and treatment. What is the matter with the news that giant panda has been abused recently?

However, recently, netizen "chi'er 2014" published several articles saying that Wei Wei, the giant panda, was suspected of being abused in Wuhan Zoo. The keepers smoked and washed their hair in the workplace, fed the apples with ants, and took the tourists to the inner room for feeding. At the same time, the construction of the new enclosure has been delayed again and again. In addition, there is the phenomenon that tourists use sticks to stamp the great outside the cage.

The article also said that Wei Wei's body surface was severely worn by palms and soles of his feet. In recent years, white spots appeared on his nose until all of them turned white. His genitals were depilated and his teeth were calculus. Many netizens suspected that Wei Wei was in an unhealthy state for a long time.

In response, today (19), the Wuhan Zoo Management Office issued a circular saying that the problems reflected by netizens do exist, and the keepers involved have been suspended for inspection and transferred from their posts. Considering that the new museum has not been completed, the zoo is negotiating with relevant departments to send Wei Wei back to China Giant Panda Protection Center for cultivation as soon as possible.

It is understood that after the Wenchuan earthquake, China Research Center for the protection of giant pandas in Wolong, Sichuan Province, which is adjacent to the epicenter of the earthquake, suffered a lot.

Wuhan Zoo, with more than 20 years of experience in giant panda breeding, has become one of the places where giant pandas are fostered in Sichuan. At the end of June 2008, the two-year-old male giant pandas' hope 'and' Wei Wei 'arrived at Wuhan Zoo and began their foster life.

In 2013, 'hope' was taken back to his hometown, and 'Wei Wei' continued to stay in Wuhan, becoming the only giant panda in Wuhan.

I sincerely hope that Wei Wei, the giant panda, can quickly return to a healthy and happy environment.
