Chapter 388: It's also tricky for the tiger to get sick
"What kind of meat is this?" Song Qian saw at a glance the big iron bucket placed next to the tiger cage, and the meat inside was red, red, white and white, and the color was quite strange.
"Pork. Qu Xinhua replied with some embarrassment.
Generally speaking, breeders do not feed animals in front of visitors, except for their showmanship. But if it weren't for Xiao Yuan's irresponsibility, the two tigers would be starving to death, and Qu Xinhua would not have come over to feed them in such a hurry.
Sure enough, it would be embarrassing for visitors to see that feeding the animals would have a more embarrassing result.
Song Qian was unhappy.
"How can pork be eaten by tigers?" After speaking, Song Qian felt that his words were a bit ambiguous, after all, people also eat pork, there is no problem, but the key, isn't the tiger a national first-class protected animal?
Hearing this, Qu Xinhua hurriedly explained: "Under normal circumstances, we feed beef, and pork is just used as a ...... for adjustment."
Transfers...... It seems that only delicious snacks are called spices, right?
Song Qian looked at the bucket of pork, and then at the two tigers, the thin ones were not a few, but they looked at this side with blank eyes. Obviously, they may not even be able to eat pork on a regular basis.
Could it be that the so-called tiger of the mission is going to die, is it going to starve to death?
It's quite likely.
"What about the person in charge of your zoo, I want to complain!" Song Qian pretended to be angry, "You two tigers are too pitiful, this is animal cruelty!"
In general units, when guests complain to the leader or something, the following staff will be more panicked, after all, it involves the issue of salary, bonus and even whether the job can be guaranteed. But at this time, Song Qian muttered that he wanted to call the leader, but Qu Xinhua was not nervous at all, and some were just embarrassed.
"We don't have a leader here, if you have to complain, you can only complain to me. ”
Qu Xinhua is right in what he said, counting, he has worked here for the longest time, and there is indeed no one more qualified to accept complaints than him.
"And ......," Qu Xinhua continued, "we have limited funds at the zoo, so we can really only feed pork to the tigers." ”
After speaking, Qu Xinhua shook his head self-deprecatingly, picked up a piece of pork in the bucket with a tong, and prepared to throw it out.
What did he tell the tourists about the lack of funds for the zoo? If the funds are not enough, can the tourists still help out? Even the ticket price is raised, and he is worried that the only tourists will run away.
Qu Xinhua thought a lot to himself, but as soon as Song Qian heard about the funds, he was excited at the moment. Isn't funding money?
"Don't feed these two tigers any pork, tell your leaders that I will cover all the food and clothing of these two tigers!"
Rich, Lao Tzu is rich, it's so awesome, saying that if you support the tiger, you will support the tiger.
However, Song Qian's triumphant promise even took out his wallet, but Qu Xinhua took it as a joke: "This comrade, if you like tigers, watch them for a while, and after a while, it is estimated that this zoo will be closed." ”
"Why are you closing?!"
Song Qian was just about to charter the two tigers, but the other party said that the zoo was going to close, isn't it just because of lack of funds.
"I'll tell you the truth, this zoo has been losing money, the employees are gone, scattered, and the rest can't even pay the basic salary. If you can't even feed people, what will you do to support the tiger?"
At this time, Qu Xinhua didn't hide it, besides, what he said was the truth, he couldn't let people pay hundreds of yuan for the tiger to buy food on the front foot, and the zoo on the back foot would be closed, right?
probably thought that Song Qian had eyes, or maybe there had been no tourists who liked animals in this zoo for a long time, Qu Xinhua actually put down the meat tong, sat on the stone bench next to the tiger cage, and pulled with Song Qian.
It was about his own task, and of course he did feel that the tigers were quite pitiful, so Song Qian sat down and listened carefully.
Cao Ning was not interested in whether the zoo was closed or not, so he tried to feed the tigers, and he always felt that it was funny.
"Be careful. ”
Just as Cao Ning was holding the clamp with both hands and forcefully picking up a piece of pork and stretching it into the cage, Qu Xinhua, who was talking to Song Qian, suddenly reminded him.
Feeding tigers, not small fish and birds, is still quite dangerous. The key is that there is a slope next to the tiger cage, and this meat has to be thrown out vigorously, and feeding is considered a hard work.
If Qu Xinhua hadn't reminded him suddenly, Cao Ning would have been ready to vigorously throw the meat out, but as soon as he shouted like this, Cao Ning's hand trembled, and the piece of meat that had just been stretched into it fell on the slope with a "click".
Pity the two tigers, watching the meat fall to the slope, but helpless.
"What a waste!"
Qu Xinhua hurriedly ran over, looked at the slope, fell in this position, hooked up, and it was difficult to fall, this meat was really wasted.
"Waste is waste, I feel that this meat is a little stinky, maybe the tiger will have diarrhea after eating it. Cao Ning defended his mistake.
It's not an excuse, when she sandwiched the meat just now, she felt that the color of the meat was very weird, and the raw meat didn't smell good, and in the summer, it was even more stinky when it was dried casually.
"Does a tiger have diarrhea?" Song Qian suddenly asked.
When it comes to diarrhea, I will make up for the scene of running to the toilet in the middle of the night, so will the tiger?
"That's really funny, of course you will have diarrhea if you eat something bad. Cao Ning sneered.
At this time, she still deeply resented Song Qian for laughing at her for not distinguishing between geese and ducks, and spared no effort to sarcastically say: "And if the tiger eats badly, diarrhea is much more difficult to deal with than a person, people can also eat some diarrhea and stop immediately, not a needle, tiger, you feed it medicine, does it cooperate? Give it a needle in the buttocks, it won't turn back to bite you, I will ......be anxious with you."
"Cut!"
Song Qian snorted noncommittally.
Because Cao Ning said that this meat smelled weird, Qu Xinhua also became nervous, walked over and picked up a piece of meat and looked at it, and the color was indeed much whiter than just now. I went down and sniffed it, and it seemed to smell something really wrong.
Animals do get sick just like humans, and it's not easy to treat. Fancheng Zoo originally had a veterinarian, but the cost of hiring a veterinarian was too high, so the veterinarian resigned two or three years ago.
That's right, in the past two or three years, Fancheng Zoo has no veterinarians, and the animals, especially those large mammals, have been able to survive because they are tenacious enough.
Qu Xinhua is not a barefoot doctor, and his sense of responsibility does not mean that he can professionally treat animal diseases. If the tiger really had diarrhea, he didn't know what to do.
But such a big bucket of meat, but he bought it for more than 100 out of his own pocket, did he just throw it away?
"Since it's broken, just throw it away. ”
Seeing that Qu Xinhua was hesitant, Song Qian directly made a decision for him.
Moreover, since the zoo has no money, let him, the god of wealth, come out: "Here is 10,000 yuan, go buy something delicious for the two tigers first." ”
10,000 yuan?!
Qu Xinhua has not seen a cash bill of 10,000 yuan for a long time, and the zoo had this turnover at its peak, when the boss had not run away.
