Chapter 7: Pet Homes
Her voice sounded muffled through the mask. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The white coat is a very magical existence, as long as you wear it, you can perfectly cover up all the shortcomings and all the advantages of the original body - the white coat in some small movies is not among them.
The woman was wearing a white lab coat and a white mask, and a disposable hood on her head that was used for hospital surgery, and Zhang Zi'an could only see her smooth forehead and shining eyes, as well as a small section of black hair slipping out of the hood.
"Well, I run a pet store and want to buy something. He replied.
The woman's eyes looked outside, then turned around and said, "I'll lead you in, I'm a little busy today because of the lack of manpower." ”
"I see. He said with a smile.
The pet home also has a reception room, but it is a large reception room, not divided into private rooms like pets.
"Sit here for a while, and I'll get someone over for you." The woman led him to the door of the reception room and did not go inside.
Zhang Zi'an didn't go inside, "Can you let me visit the farm here first?"
He just asked with the intention of giving it a try, because he couldn't be sure if this woman was an employee here, maybe she was just a veterinarian who was temporarily invited to treat the disease, and her words might not be effective.
Barely had time to think about it, and the woman immediately nodded, "It's okay, then you can follow me." ”
Following the woman, he bypassed the reception room, the office, and the storeroom, and there was a large area behind him separated by an iron fence, and he could smell the smell of disinfectant wafting from a long distance, and he could walk well with his eyes closed.
The fence gate was just a blank and unlocked, and the woman opened it with ease, "Come in." ”
Behind the door is the world of pets.
More than a dozen rows of red-brick breeding houses are lined up like armies waiting to be reviewed, and between the rows is a two-meter-wide aisle, and a man in a light blue one-piece animal anti-epidemic disinfection suit is working.
The man carried an electric sprayer on his back, wore rubber gloves on his hands, held a spray rod, and evenly sprayed the diluted disinfectant as he retreated.
"Dad, there's a guest!" the woman shouted from behind.
The man did not react and was still spraying.
Not to mention the noise of the electric sprayer itself, surrounded by hundreds of pets, all kinds of barking are enough to hide the normal speaking volume.
The woman smiled apologetically at Zhang Zi'an, but the smile was blocked by the mask, and he only saw her eyebrows crooked.
She took a few steps forward and patted the man on the shoulder.
The man turned around and saw his daughter first, his eyes moved up, and then he saw Zhang Zi'an behind her.
He turned off the electric sprayer, took the earplugs from his ears, and pulled down his mask, which was covered by a ravine-like face like an old peasant.
"What's the matter?" he asked aloud.
"Dad, this man runs a pet shop, and he's here to buy pets!" the woman said aloud.
The man frowned, "Just go to the front and wait for the pet, I'll be busy soon." ”
Zhang Zi'an also said loudly: "It's okay! You are busy first, I'll wait here!"
The woman pulled Zhang Zi'an, pointed to the shelter at the base of the wall, and motioned for him to wait there, so that the smell of the disinfectant spray would be all on his clothes along the wind.
Zhang Zi'an doesn't care, his clothes are also cheap online purchases, and he also uses various disinfectants to disinfect the store every day. Disinfectant water cannot be used only one, it must be used alternately, or mixed to prevent germs from developing resistance.
However, he followed the woman to the base of the wall, watched the man put back on his earplugs and mask and began to spray.
"Is this your father?" he asked.
The woman took off her mask, revealing a very fresh face.
She pursed her lips and said, "An old picker! Let your daughter come to get vaccinated without paying, and even have to pay for the fuel bill!"
"You're all a family, you know what to do!" he laughed. It is precisely because of his loss that he knows the preciousness of his family.
"Cut! just use me as a free employee!" she grumbled angrily.
Zhang Zi'an is here to choose pets, not to pick up girls, and after chatting casually, he turned his attention to the layout and details of the farm.
In these rows of breeding houses, cat mothers and dog mothers nurse kittens and puppies that have not yet opened their eyes, or cats and dogs that are about to give birth are waiting to give birth in them, and all kinds of calls come and go.
The iron fence of these breeding houses had a plastic card inserted on it, some with "1", some with "2", and "3" and "4", with the date indicated, and he didn't quite understand what that meant.
Since he was here to visit the farm, of course he had to ask for clarification, so he asked her this question.
"Oh, that's what you say," she replied, following his finger, "that's the number of births and the date of birth of breeding cats and dogs." ”
Zhang Zi'an was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.
For breeding cats and breeding dogs, it is not possible to "live to old age, born to old age", in fact, the more times they give birth, the more likely the kittens and puppies are born to have problems, frail and sick, and even with congenital defects.
In the professional trade of breeding cats and dogs, the price of female cats and female dogs who have given birth to one litter is the highest.
Just like people, cats and dogs can also have infertility, so buying a breeder that has never given birth is risky, like gambling. Having given birth to one child proves that "I can have one".
There is a more serious problem, cats are not the same as dogs, especially for cats, some female cats are not maternal enough, ignore the kittens they are born, let alone breastfeed.
What's more, some female cats also have "child-eating fetish" - well, yes, literally. Such a cat, no matter how beautiful and purebred it is, is difficult to be a breeding cat, so it is better to be neutered as soon as possible. If they want to be breeding cats, they must pay 12 points of patience and hard work, and in the end they may not be successful.
Breeding cats and breeding dogs who have given birth to a litter will have the above defects at a glance, and it is also the most valuable and glorious moment in their lives.
Cats can give birth to three to four litters a year, and dogs can give birth to two litters a year, but if they give birth continuously and there is no rest and recovery time in between, the damage to them is great, so normally cats and dogs are up to two litters a year.
For breeding cats and breeding dogs, after giving birth to about five or six times, let them retire with peace of mind, and then forcibly give birth, it is a harm to them, and the kittens and puppies born will also be weak and sick. Of course, profiteers who are hungry for profit will definitely not think so, the more times they are born, the lower the average cost of reproduction, and the better they can give their customers. They will surely drain their surplus value, let them live until they can no longer regenerate, and then sweep them out of the house.
That's why Zhang Zi'an insisted on visiting the farm.
If you eat this bowl of rice, you can't help the abuse.
