Chapter 150 Can we get out of here?
"The provincial meteorological bureau detected that a typhoon would pass through the base soon, and the wildlife base reserve might be affected, so they have been preparing for the typhoon these days. And now the animals at the base are getting restless, and they really don't have enough staff to accept the animals rescued from the circus as promised."
The forest zoo has limited space and staff, so they can accommodate the animals for a period of time, but most of the time these animals are still kept in cages, which is harmful to them and will only aggravate their psychological problems.
Jiang Shiyan was silent. Her zoo could only accommodate small and medium-sized animals. Lions, tigers, bears and the like were almost impossible to accommodate. The only way was probably to raise them together.
"At present, our zoo can only vacate one park, and the area is not very large..."
After listening to Director Li, Jiang Shiyan pondered for a moment and said, "Can we try to free up a park with a larger activity space so that they can stay together?"
Director Li was stunned: "You mean to lock them up together and let them move freely?"
"Correct!"
"If a fight breaks out..."
"I'll do some ideological work for them." Jiang Shiyan said seriously, "The space for them to move around is a little smaller, but it's better than being locked up in a cage all the time. Besides, they won't be abused here, and they don't have to perform like clowns to please the audience."
Director Li had actually contacted zoos in other places. However, when the heads of other zoos heard that he was going to take in wild animals rescued from a circus and that they had a history of injuring people more than once, they all said that they needed to reconsider, which was actually a tactful rejection of his request.
After all, these large beasts that have hurt people are much more dangerous than other animals, and they have completely lost trust in humans, so there are too many uncertain factors.
Director Li was worried: "This is the only solution at the moment. The base can only wait until the typhoon is over and see how to deal with it."
Jiang Shiyan came to the place where the circus animals were kept. In the small room, only the windows on the wall could let in a ray of sunlight, and the room ended after a few steps. The space was too small for one animal to move around, let alone several animals kept in captivity.
Two other bears were forced to remain in cages.
When they hear human movement, these animals become restless, pacing back and forth, and making sounds in their throats that sound like threats and fear.
"We don't dare get too close to them now. There's really nothing we can do. They no longer trust humans..."
"I understand, thank you."
A moment later, Jiang Shiyan appeared in front of the lion group.
Including the lioness and cubs who had escaped before, there were a total of five lions locked up. When they recognized Jiang Shiyan, the growling sounds gradually disappeared.
Jiang Shiyan came to the door of the small room carrying a bucket of thawed frozen chicken. The lion cub ran over first and called out to Jiang Shiyan through the iron door.
The lioness came over and rubbed her head against the cage.
The staff not far away looked at Jiang Shiyan with fear as he put his hand in.
The little cub tilted his head back and enjoyed it very much. He even lay at the door and turned his belly over towards Jiang Shiyan. No one knew how he got so dirty.
The lioness looked at Jiang Shiyan without the wariness she had towards other humans; instead, her eyes showed a hint of anticipation.
Jiang Shiyan also raised his hand and touched the lioness's big head, then threw the chicken in.
The little fellow ran over first, grunting and chewing the food. He was obviously still old enough to drink milk, and his teeth hadn't even grown in yet, but he still made fierce gulping sounds when he ate.
Jiang Shiyan seriously doubted that Nai Huang Bao could not beat this little guy. After all, a little thing that could whimper and cry when being chased by a big white goose did not have much fighting power. The fierce guy's breath was milky.
[Can we get out of here now?]
The lioness suddenly spoke and purred.
The other lions also looked towards Jiang Shiyan, only the cub was tearing the chicken hard.
"Some accidents occurred. A typhoon is coming to the base that was originally prepared to receive you. The staff are all preparing to resist the typhoon and have no manpower to take care of you." Jiang Shiyan explained softly.
The lioness's eyes dimmed visibly.
The lion king walked up to her and rubbed her, comforting his wife in a hoarse voice: It’s okay, at least we don’t have to be whipped anymore, we don’t have to perform for humans, and we can eat enough here.
They yearn for freedom, but staying alive seems more important.
"Don't worry too much, it's only temporary. We can move there again after the typhoon is over. And in two years I will run a large zoo. If you are still willing to come back, I will take you back, okay?" Jiang Shiyan comforted them.
The lion cub finally gave up. It couldn't chew it anymore, sob.
Jiang Shiyan gave it a chicken leg, and the little guy's eyes lit up again, and this time he ate it with relish.
She took the opportunity to tell them about the activity area, but for the time being they needed to share the area with other rescued animals, even the giant python.
And for them, there is another test.
"Because it's a zoo, there are many tourists coming and going every day, so you will be watched by tourists, but they won't hurt you, I promise. There are electrified fences around the activity area, which is also for safety reasons. We are worried that you will climb over the wall, but as long as you don't touch it, it will be fine..."
Perhaps because they had experienced the same abuse, the animals in the circus developed a sense of sympathy for each other and all agreed.
Even the tigers that were originally intended to be placed in the tiger park would like to stay.
Jiang Shiyan began to try to put them in in batches.
The first group to go in were naturally the five lions.
It had been a long time since they had experienced the feeling of running freely. When they stepped onto the soft grass again, several adult lions were even a little dazed. The bright sunshine shining on them was a little dazzling.
They narrowed their eyes and then let out a long, low howl.
The staff who were observing the animals' reactions in the safe zone couldn't help but shed tears, and they hated those who forced them to perform more and more.
Next is the tiger.
After the tiger walked in, the lion king instinctively let out a threatening roar. Several tigers also stared at each other with a covetous look. The atmosphere instantly became tense. Jiang Shiyan clenched the stick in his hand, ready to knock on the iron railings at any time to remind them.
The two sides slowly approached each other, tentatively sniffing each other's scent.
Just when Jiang Shiyan thought they were going to fight, the lion king and the tiger suddenly turned their heads in opposite directions, opened their mouths and vomited with a "wow" sound...
[You stink!]
[How disgusting!]
The sudden reaction completely stumped Jiang Shiyan.
