The other party did not seem to expect Lu Chen to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment and hesitated for a moment before saying,
"If you are willing to hand it over, we can give you appropriate compensation
..." Compensate me, or compensate the little snow leopard who lost her life because of the high probability?!”
"
You just said that you are the person in charge of the ecological environment office and asked me to hand over the snow leopard cubs to the country.
Alright, let me ask you, do you know the average lifespan of the Chinese snow leopards that were artificially bred in our country?
Do you know how many stress complications a captive snow leopard will suffer because it can't restore its original environment?
Do you know how many snow leopards died in cold laboratories thousands of miles away from their hometowns in order to study the artificial breeding of Chinese snow leopards?
You don't know!
Let me tell you, the average lifespan of Chinese snow leopards that were artificially bred in our country was only 2-3 years, while the average lifespan of wild Chinese snow leopards could reach 15-18 years!
Because they were unable to restore their genes to the most suitable environment in the snowy plateau, captive Chinese snow leopards were prone to suffer from ascitic fluid, infectious parasitides, pneumonias, and malaria!
Previously, in order to research the artificial breeding of Chinese snow leopards, a total of 17 snow leopards had sacrificed their lives!
If you knew even one of these data, you wouldn't have asked me to hand over this little snow leopard cub so casually!”
Lu Chen's eyes were slightly red as he questioned the other party with a roar.
The viewers who were chatting happily in the live broadcast room were shocked when they saw this scene. They did not even dare to send any bullet comments.
The other end of the phone was silent. Lu Chen did not want to waste any more time with this person who spoke in an official tone, so he directly hung up the phone.
She had never seen Lu Chen like this before. She was so scared by the white snow leopard in his arms that she did not dare to drink any milk. She hugged the small milk bottle and buried her head in Lu Chen's arms, trembling non-stop.
"…I'm sorry for scaring you.”
Looking at the little thing's trembling appearance, Lu Chen's heart softened. He reached out and stroked its soft baby hair. Then, he looked up at the drone's camera and said apologetically,
"I lost my composure in front of everyone just now. I'm sorry."”
Seeing Lu Chen speak, the stagnant atmosphere in the live broadcast room finally eased up a little. A bold audience member asked tentatively,
"Why was the host so angry just now?"】
[Did someone ask you to hand over the little snow leopard?】
"…Let me tell you something that I once experienced.”
"
When I just graduated, I once participated in an artificial breeding program for endangered animals as an assistant.
As for the specific species, I can't tell you because it's a secret. You can understand it as a little fellow as cute as a baby snow leopard.
The habits of that animal were very similar to that of the Chinese snow leopard. After leaving the breeding ground, it was difficult for it to survive.
At that time, I was just an assistant and didn't have much say in the breeding team. However, my mentor and most of the backbones in the project team believed that we shouldn't interfere with the breeding of this animal.
This was because their survival rate was extremely low in an environment where human intervention was involved.
However, the mentors 'objections were useless because there were various leaders above them who pressured them to continue the breeding experiment.”
Lu Chen took a deep breath,
"At that time, I was in charge of the daily maintenance of these animals...
It should be difficult for you to imagine watching a group of elves who should have lived happily in nature slowly lose their vitality in an artificial cage."
Their feathers were no longer bright, and their lively eyes gradually became lifeless.
I watched them die one by one in front of me.”
At this point, Lu Chen suddenly raised his head,
"Is it right to artificially interfere with the breeding of endangered wild animals?"
I think from the perspective of species reproduction, if the technical conditions allow it, this is a good thing, because it can slow down the rate of extinction of endangered species.
However, this kind of breeding should be for the sake of this species, not for political achievements, for the sake of sounding good, or for the sake of giving some people face!
Knowing that there was a high chance that endangered species would continue to be harmed, they still insisted on using the lives of animals to experiment for the sake of reputation. This was called madness!”
Lu Chen lowered his head and looked at the snow leopard's round and clear green eyes in his arms. He reached out and scratched its furry little chin
.
Even the nature documentary I'm making now is also my own personal wish and idea.
Only by doing things on my own and not accepting the so-called investment and benefits could I not be coerced by others to make decisions against my will.
Only a free heart and soul could capture the most beautiful side of those free creatures.”
