Chapter 405: Animal Crisis

The movement of the wildebeest crossing the river is too big, and the crocodiles near this section of the river are attracted to it, and they are gathering more and more, but although they are numerous, they are not worth mentioning at all for the wildebeest herd, and every crocodile can have a good meal today.

After a few minutes, the vanguard of the wildebeest finally landed on the river, and then led the way to the fertile pastures.

Due to the large number of wildebeests, it was not until late afternoon that the wildebeest army crossed the river, but there were still some hippos standing on the opposite bank and standing still, looking at each other from a distance.

"Why don't they follow?" Lin Xiaowan frowned and asked. The ranger next to him replied: "These are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, they can clearly estimate their bodies, and now the river only proves that they do not have the strength to cross the river."

Not long after the ranger finished speaking, the hippos who were still on the other side gave up crossing the river and began to return in despair, and they could only continue to live on the pasture.

The worst thing is not that they have left their relatives and friends, nor that they do not have fertile pastures, but that they have now lost the protection and cover of the young and strong of the herd, and now the predators who have been waiting for a day have also begun to act, and the thousands of wildebeest left behind are all their own problems, and they are their best targets, and these trappers like such groups.

Looking at the frenzied hunting on the other side, Lin Xiaowan turned her head a little unbearably, she already felt pitiful when she left the team, but she didn't expect that there would be a new round of crisis now.

As they were about to go back, the ranger's walkie-talkie rang, and then he spoke quickly to Bell, and after a while, Bell motioned for everyone to get in the car and set off, without saying where the destination was.

The car stopped again after about half an hour, and at first everyone didn't know why, but when Bell asked everyone to get out of the car and followed the paramedic to a bush, many people turned their heads in shock, and some obviously ran to the side and vomited.

A rhinoceros was lying on the ground, the horns on its nose had disappeared, there was only a large pit of flesh and blood on its face, the blood on the ground had gathered into a small pool of water, and there were several rangers who had already come to the scene standing next to it, and the most important thing was that the rhinoceros had not yet lost its breath, and its stomach was still panting slightly.

Seeing such a tragic scene, Lin Xiaowan's face was also pale, and tears fell out at once, and the rhinoceros's current pain can be imagined.

Xia Wencai was also very uncomfortable, this was the first time he had seen the tragic situation of poached animals.

"What are they doing here?" After seeing a ranger take out a gun and load ammunition, Xia Wencai asked Bell next to him.

Bell also had a rare look of sternness, and said: "They have already checked, this rhinoceros has been injured for several hours, and it has been shot in the brain, but the disease has not hit the vital point, these poachers have cut off its rhinoceros horn alive, and now it is beyond treatment, and the rangers intend to end its pain directly."

Xia Wencai hated these poachers for the first time, not to mention poaching, the methods were so cruel, even if he killed the rhinoceros first, it would be better, but he actually cut off the rhinoceros horns alive, and the pain suffered by the rhinoceros can be imagined, it is simply inferior to pigs and dogs.

Seeing the ranger raise his gun at the rhinoceros with a weak breath, the stars also understood what they wanted to do, but no one dissuaded them, indeed, it is the most humane thing to end its pain with such a shot now, if it were a rhinoceros themselves, they would like someone to end their lives sooner, and the pain it is suffering now is terrifying.

After a gunshot, the rhinoceros finally stopped breathing, and everyone's hearts seemed to tremble violently with the sound of the gunshot.

"Damn, these bastards should be shot." Finally, some celebrities couldn't help but shout angrily, and let out a roar at the poachers, they had been relatively relaxed before, and this trip was also used as a tourist to play, but it wasn't until they witnessed such a tragic scene that they realized for the first time what poaching is and what is cruel.

Seeing that everyone was obviously indignant, there was also a bit of a radical effort to ask the rangers to find the poachers and kill them.

After hearing this, the ranger smiled bitterly: "It's been almost half a day, where can I still find those poachers now, and they have regulations, even if they find poachers, they can't shoot them casually, of course, if the other party dares to shoot back, they won't be polite."

After chatting with the ranger for a while, Xia Wencai planned to go to the ranger's station to see the results of their fight against poaching over the years.

When they arrived at their station, it was already dark, and after they had made do with dinner, the ranger took them to a large room, and everyone was stunned as soon as they entered, there were all kinds of precious animal skins, ivory, rhinoceros horns, and more than some guns and ammunition, as well as traps for hunting. The rangers showed them around and explained that they had seized items from poachers, and that although the remains of the animals were exaggerated, they were only a drop in the bucket, and that they were able to capture only a few, and that many poachers were still at large, and that they were killing more animals.

A ranger picked up a long tusk and said: "This length of ivory is generally the leader of the group, their patriarch, although the poacher only kills one, but it may bury a group, the patriarch of the elephant herd is their leader, it has rich experience, where there is water, where there is food, what season to go where, all of them are stored in its mind, the elephant herd is also passed down from generation to generation, but now the patriarch died suddenly, maybe the other elephants in the group have not learned enough experience." Then, the existential crisis of their entire population comes. ”

According to the current assessment of animal protection organizations, if poaching is not stopped, then many of the rare animals in the African savannah may become extinct within 20 or 30 years.

Everyone's hearts were heavy when they heard it, imagining that if it were tens or hundreds of years later, the African savannah would become barren, and that kind of scene was terrifying to think about

The next day, everyone returned to the hotel where they were staying.

"Bell, thank you for leading us through a great week, and also for making us realize the importance of animal protection, I was about to bleed at today's donation ceremony, I don't want my child to ask me later, Dad, what is an elephant, round or square." A young star patted Bell on the shoulder and smiled.

Xia Lier also came over to Bell's ear and said: "Bell, good job, it seems that this time you are not entirely for money, which makes me a little moved, and I don't want to buy precious leather clothes in the future, I have a headache."

Xia Wencai is also surrounded by a circle of stars, both men and women, this week they have fully experienced how amazing Xia Wencai is, he has basically been in close contact with all the beasts in Africa, the man said that Xia Wencai is very powerful and very gentle, and the women are also curious about mysterious things, and even some vaguely welcome Xia Wencai to their room at night to discuss how to get in touch with the topic of "animals".

Although Xia Wencai was very moved, he saw Lin Xiaowan, who was listening with his ears pricked up not far away, and decisively refused these non-specific requests, looking so righteous and awe-inspiring! As for whether you regret bringing Lin Xiaowan over in your heart, only God knows! (To be continued.) )
