Chapter 283 The Possible Tiger Ban

Wang Yugang was taken aback for a moment. As the person in charge of a feline breeding center, he often watched programs like Animal World. Fang Mingyuan was no stranger to what Fang Mingyuan said, but he never thought of using it for Come to the center yourself. twenty three
"You mean to run a tiger zoo and sell tickets to make money?" Wang Yugang said hesitantly.To build such a park in Ice City not only requires a lot of land, but also the construction cost is not a small sum.

"Well, to be precise, the purpose of establishing this park is to strengthen the protection and scientific research of Siberian tigers, and to show the results of protection and research to the people. The protection of tigers and the sustainable development of scientific research work. It can be said that tourism is the economic foundation of protection, and protection is the resource guarantee of tourism.” Wang Yugang and Li Guangcheng were stunned by Fang Mingyuan’s words at first, and then savored them carefully. , but the eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

"Old Li, write this down, write it down, it's so incisive!" Wang Yugang said excitedly.Obviously it was to earn more money to buy meat for tigers and pay wages to employees, but if Fang Mingyuan said it like this, the realm would be different.In this way, if you want money and land, you can be more confident-the government's annual allocation has now paid off. If you don't believe it, go into the garden and have a look and count the number of tigers.And we built this garden to reduce the government's burden and strive for self-financing.What a reason!

"And it's not just tickets that can be sold for money. For example, you can also sell chickens and sheep." Fang Mingyuan smiled slightly,

"Selling chickens and sheep? Selling them to tourists? Can people want this?" Li Guangcheng, who was looking for a pen and paper, raised his head and asked in surprise.

"Tourists are not allowed to feed animals in the zoo, but some people definitely want to see the scene of tiger predation. You can sell them the live chickens and sheep to be fed, and then let them watch the Siberian tiger hunt and kill prey, no matter what. How to say, at least you can save some money." Fang Mingyuan shrugged.This kind of trick was not uncommon in previous lives.In many parks, you have to buy designated feed even to feed pigeons and fish.

"This is a way! Lao Li, write it down." Wang Yugang said after a moment of thought, mosquito legs are also meat, and the current Heihe Daozi Feline Breeding Center does not have the confidence to save some money.If you can save the meat money of a sheep in a day, it will be a lot of money in a month, enough to pay the salaries of several people.

"Then you can build a popular science exhibition hall that is open to tourists free of charge. Here, you can display all kinds of materials about Siberian tigers that you have preserved in detail in specimens, pictures and texts, and provide popular science education for tourists. You also You can sell some souvenirs, such as tiger fur, don’t tell me that Siberian tigers don’t shed their hair. There are also some wonderful photos captured, commemorative coins and souvenirs with their own characteristics.” Fang Mingyuan originally wanted to say, You can find two little tigers that can't hurt people for tourists to take pictures with them.But thinking about it again, in that case, he must have made a lot of money, but it may not be beneficial to the growth of the little tiger.

China has a population of more than one billion and an area of ​​960 million square kilometers, but there are only a few hundred Siberian tigers. If it is evenly divided, tigers are more precious. Although it may sound unpleasant to say this, it is true.Wang Yugang and Li Guangcheng nodded and wrote down a few notes on paper from time to time.

"Mingyuan, look at these two little tigers, they are so cute!" Lin Lian handed over a photo, and saw the two little tigers in the small basket cuddling together like two kittens, their bodies curled up slightly, a He also put his head on the other head, which looked very cute.

Wang Yugang leaned over his head and glanced at them and said, "These are two Siberian tigers that have just been born, one-milk compatriots, um, 20 days younger since birth."

Fang Mingyuan's heart moved and he said, "Did you name it?"

"Not yet. Generally, those who name them in our garden have to make sure that they will not die before they are numbered and named by the garden." Wang Yugang explained that this little tiger was originally very cute. Naturally, the staff couldn't put it down even more, but in the early days of the park's construction, many cubs died, which made the staff who named them feel heavy, as if a relative had passed away.That's why this regulation came into being later on. The little tiger must wait three months before he can be named in good health.It was called by number before.

Fang Mingyuan took out the check book from his pocket, filled in one, tore it off and handed it to Wang Yugang, "Then I'll book the naming rights of five little tigers first! Including these two."

Wang Yugang took it over and took a look, 50 yuan!Can't help but startled.Isn't it just to give the tiger a name, one 10 yuan!The price was far beyond his expectations.

Li Guangcheng glanced sideways, and couldn't help but be surprised. For the center, 50 yuan can only be said to be an emergency fund, and it won't last long, but it is enough for them to last ten years. It's February.And this is just buying the naming rights of the little tiger, which is a very high price.

"Sister Lian, which of these two do you like? Think about it later, and after making a decision, ask Director Wang to put a small card on it and hang it up." Fang Mingyuan pointed at the two little tigers in the photo and said.

"Can I really name it?" Lin Lian asked Wang Yugang overjoyed.

Wang Yugang hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.There was no precedent for this kind of thing before, but after agreeing to it, there is no problem after thinking about it.The tiger is still owned by the center and raised by the center, but the name is decided by Fang Mingyuan and the others.In the center, naming the tiger was not a big deal at first, it was often decided by the breeders.Just report to the center for record.

"Director Wang can give it a try in the future. I believe there will be many people at home and abroad who are interested in naming the Siberian tiger." Fang Mingyuan is not just talking about it. Although the price of 10 yuan for this name is a bit high, every It is estimated that the naming rights of a small tiger and their childhood living expenses will not be a problem.

Wang Yugang and Li Guangcheng also understood that this was Fang Mingyuan's donation to the center through this form, and they were naturally very grateful.

"Director Wang, Section Chief Li, my proposal from Huyuan is not a long-term solution to your center's financial shortage." Fang Mingyuan organized his words and said, he was thinking whether he should remind the two of them in advance, and in a few years , the country will completely ban the trade of tiger products.The temporary prosperity of sightseeing and tourism cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the tiger breeding industry - the foundation of this industry is the all-round commercial use of tiger products, and its cost is far beyond the simple ticket income.After the initial novelty, the enthusiasm of tourists visiting tigers will gradually decrease. After all, this tiger park is not a place where people have to go, such as supermarkets, schools, and hospitals, but these tigers will not be affected by the decrease in tourists. Appetite is greatly reduced.The special thing about the tiger breeding industry is that since tigers are national first-class protected animals, even if the market shrinks or even ceases to exist, you cannot take the initiative to reduce the scale, otherwise it will be illegal.At the same time, those dead tiger carcasses must be frozen and preserved, which will also cost a lot of money in the future.

"You'd better control the breeding speed of tigers properly, raise as many tigers as you have, and don't blindly expand the number." Fang Mingyuan lowered his voice, "You'd better be mentally prepared, the country is likely to be comprehensive in the next few years Ban the trade in tiger products!"

"What!" Wang Yugang and Li Guangcheng blurted out in surprise, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.A complete ban on the trade of tiger products would completely shatter their well-planned plan to raise tigers with tigers. The Heihe Daozi Feline Breeding Center, which cannot sell tiger products, will simply not be able to afford more and more Siberian tigers. Nurturing task.

"Comrade Fang, are you sure?" Wang Yugang grabbed Fang Mingyuan's hand and asked eagerly.

"It's hard to say now, but the international community is putting more and more pressure on our country's tiger product trade, and there are international precedents for this kind of practice." Fang Mingyuan broke free from his hand slightly, and said helplessly.In the 80s and [-]s, due to rampant poaching, the number of elephants in the world declined sharply.Therefore, since this year, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species has completely banned commercial international trade in ivory.Fang Mingyuan had seen this news on TV.As for tigers, the number of tigers is now more precarious than elephants. As the country with the longest history of tiger products, it is conceivable that China is under great pressure internationally.

Wang Yugang also knew what Fang Mingyuan said, and he shouted anxiously: "But the situation of elephants cannot be applied to tigers like this! Now the biggest threat to the survival of wild tigers is the reduction of habitat, not the loss of habitat." The threat of poaching due to trade needs. Poachers now understand that it is almost lucky to meet a Siberian tiger in the wild. Moreover, the premise of banning the trade of tiger products is that the number of tigers is certain. The increase of tiger products flowing into the consumer market will inevitably lead to a decrease in the number of wild tigers. But now we have been able to breed tigers artificially. I believe that as the technology of artificial tiger breeding continues to mature, as long as there is sufficient initial start-up capital, the market demand for breeding tigers will increase in the future. There will be ample supply. The cost advantage of legally breeding tigers, compared to risking jail time for poaching almost elusive wild tigers, is enough to make poaching unprofitable!" v
