林惠去世的消息迅速登录中国社交平台热榜,引发网友热议,纷纷要求中方彻查。 2019年林惠的伴侣熊猫创创于清迈动物园意外死亡,后经中泰(泰中)联合专家组对创创的尸体进行剖检和组织病理学观察,一致确认:创创体表无外伤,气管无异物,死因系慢性心力衰竭急性发作,全身器官缺氧所致。 当时就有国内网友提议提前结束租期,接林惠回国。但林惠仍然待在清迈动物园到租借期结束方可回国。时隔三年多,林惠亦去世。 提到这里又不得不提到另一只大熊猫,在美国孟菲斯动物园的丫丫。 丫丫今年22岁,于2003年与伴侣乐乐一同被送往美国,中方与美国孟菲斯动物园签订了20年的租借期。 说实话,丫丫和乐乐在孟菲斯动物园的生活状况堪忧,引发全球无数爱护熊猫的热心人士关注,今年2月,乐乐在园内意外死亡,更是将网友对孟菲斯动物园的不满情绪推向高潮。 孟菲斯动物园此前否认了对丫丫和乐乐照顾不周/虐待等指控,并指责相关人士散布虚假信息。动物园表示,丫丫患有慢性皮肤和皮毛疾病,“偶尔会让她的毛发看起来稀疏且斑驳”。 动物保护组织 In Defense of Animals 和 Panda Voices 去年发布的一段视频显示,大熊猫丫丫和乐乐在原地转圈。这些团体表示,这些动物的皮毛和体重似乎都下降了,并呼吁“在为时已晚之前将它们送回中国”。
