He Zilong remembered that there were introductions in later generations to check information and watch the news.

Even later, the United States issued a decree prohibiting the captivity of wild tigers, but this decree did not include tigers that were already kept in the backyard, they still breed, and the number of tigers in the United States is still very large.

Many Americans raise these tigers to satisfy their curiosity, some to domesticate these tigers, do some performances, some to protect these tigers, and even set up a small park for these tigers for children to visit for free.

Some tigers are cared for here, but there are also many who satisfy their hobby of raising tigers under the banner of protecting tigers. Among them, the most representative, there are many American billionaires, who also raise a lot of tigers and other rare animals.

For example, there is a rich man named Jeff in the United States, whose only hobby is to raise tigers, it is understood that since his grandfather's generation, their family has been very wealthy, Jeff's grandfather is one of the most outstanding animal trainers in the circus, and even brought a baby tiger from the circus home to raise after retirement, and Jeff is ready to inherit his grandfather's wish and continue to raise tigers.

He even bought a rare animal park and set up his home in the middle of the park, sleeping with more than 200 tigers every day.

However, it is not so easy to raise such a "big cat". For example, a 400-pound (181-kilogram) tiger costs about $200 in meat per week alone. Secondly, because the tigers are not able to sharpen their claws, so that the nails grow longer and longer, and finally pierce the tiger's paws, causing bleeding or pus, so the owners must cut their nails regularly, but cutting the nails is like cutting off their toe bones.

But even the tiger cubs are still quite strong and have a certain amount of damage, and they may inadvertently hurt their owners when they are playing. 」

Since 1990, bred tigers have killed at least 22 people and injured as many as 500 across the country. Accidents involving homeowners are frequent, but many Americans still refuse to be legislated. As a result, the government still does not know exactly how many tigers are kept in the area.

He Zilong just wants to say this, this is the reason why there are few foreigners!

"What you said, I want to raise a tiger, but that big guy definitely can't. I mean raising from childhood to adulthood, for example, the three little tigers in it will definitely not work in China, but it should be no problem to raise them in Singapore or Hong Kong......" He Zilong glanced at Li Dawei and said suddenly.

Li Dawei shrugged his shoulders and did not express an opinion.

"Well, wait, take a closer look, do you see, there seems to be a big box in the innermost part of the tiger's room, in that corner. Go get some anesthetics or something, bring some food. Let the tiger eat, can be placed in the tiger's room, and let the tiger be an indirect bodyguard's box, it is not easy to think about, and it is unlikely to be empty......" He Zilong was about to walk away, but suddenly saw something in his sharp eyes.

"But, Long Shao, we don't seem to have anesthetics, it seems that we can only kill that big tiger......" Li Dawei thought for a while and replied.

"Go to Luo Dong to think about ideas and see if you can use some special plants to represent the effect of anesthetic...... These pirates can catch the tiger mother and child without injury, and it must not be the expensive real anesthetic used, it must be some kind of earthy characteristic plant used. He Zilong thought for a moment and replied.

"Okay, I'll go find Luo Dong, and then I'll interrogate that pirate captive......" Li Dawei hurriedly walked outside.

After Li Dawei left, He Zilong looked at several other rooms, which were either locked up tigers, or wild wolves, and the last one was even more magical, and it was a giant eagle.

A giant eagle bigger than a man!

Looking at these giant eagles, a figurative term popped out of He Zilong's mind.

Could this be the national bird of the Philippines?------ ape-eating eagle?

That is, the prototype of the eagle in the Condor Heroes?

Pithecophaga jefferyi: Also known as the Philippine eagle. It is large, with a body length of 91 cm, a wingspan of 200-250 cm, a weight of 6500 grams, and a lifespan of 30 years.

The range is particularly limited and is found only in the Philippines, especially in parts of the larger islands of Luzon, Leyte, Samar and Mindanao. It lives deep in dense forests with tropical rainforest vegetation, which is inaccessible to humans, and is good for hunting and nesting.

Listed as critically endangered in the Red Book of Species since 1960, the number of this Philippine bird of prey has been reduced from 6,000 to more than 300 due to the continuous decline of deep mountain forests and the loss of natural habitats, and extinction is imminent.

In 1985, the domestic cartoon "Sheriff Black Cat" was screened, and in the second episode, Ape Eater Eagle became well-known to Chinese young audiences for the first time as a villain animation star. He Zilong also knew about this guy at that time, and later the Internet developed, and he could clearly know a lot of information about it.

Ten minutes later, Li Dawei came back with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong......" He Zilong asked.

"Long Shao, you guessed it, the pirates do have botanicals instead of anesthetics to catch these animals, but those medicines are not used to catch animals, but for their own use, do you know what they are......" Li Dawei asked.

"What ......?"

"Marijuana, poppy, mandala......"

"What, you mean that these pirates used to grow drug plants around here......" He Zilong exclaimed.

"Yes, at first the captive was reluctant to say it, or did we lie to him that he had found it, and then he said it under duress, and planted it ......under the ravine in the middle of the hill over there," Li Dawei replied.

"How large is the ...... planted?"

"It's a big ......"

"I see, I'm afraid that we will come a little later, and if they don't fall out, I'm afraid they will all switch careers to drug trafficking. After all, if you start from here, if you enter Vietnam, then go to the Golden Triangle, or transfer to other places, there is a mature one-stop service for drug dealing......" He Zilong sighed.

The Lancang River, which originates on China's Tibetan Plateau and flows through the Hengduan Mountains into the Indochina Peninsula, is the world's seventh-longest river that flows through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.

However, this mother river leaves a triangular impact plain at the junction of Laos, Myanmar and Thailand, which is known as the Golden Triangle. In this 200,000 square kilometers of land, heroin accounts for 60%~70% of the world's total every year, and the opium poppy cultivation area also ranks second in the world, which is a veritable drug den.

The phenomenon of local armed forces feeding soldiers with drugs, selling drugs with soldiers, and forming pirates is very rampant, which has also formed a series of illegal industrial chains, such as gambling, brothels and human trafficking. It's all about drugs!
