In the past two days, I was always thinking about a book I read when I was young. "Interesting in the Zoo", the story of the Moscow Zoo in the former Soviet Union, is this book, which gave me the idea of becoming a breeder when I grow up. The book tells that after World War II broke out, some animals were transported to rescue boats and sent to the rear for refuge. As a result, they were bombed by enemy aircraft midway. Most of the animals were killed. No one knows if some escaped and survived. . This kind of hopeless hope is even more heartbreaking.
I went to Ueno Zoo last year. On the exhibition board there, I learned the story of "Wartime Disposal" for the first time. After returning, I checked the information and found out about the elephant who was starved to death, the bear who was poisoned, and the tiger who was put to death. After the war, the old breeder said that he would never forgive himself. Seeing this paragraph, as a breeder, I also covered my face and felt the same.
Recently, I have sometimes wondered, if, in case, what my animals will experience. After finally having a big family of chimpanzees, will they be sent away separately, like those children? Joking and telling colleagues, let's take them home one by one. When we are joking, they are still playing and chasing on the grass, and their dark hair is shining in the sun.
everything will get better.
