In Liu Zongyuan's "Three Precepts: The Donkey of Guizhou", it can be seen from "When a tiger sees it, it is a huge thing, and thinks it is a god, and hides it in the forest to peek at it": Even the tiger, the king of beasts, has no vision. Donkeys who have passed by don’t dare to approach easily, and are instinctively cautious towards unknown creatures.
In Luoyang, Henan, while a circus was performing a show, two lions disobeyed the trainer's instructions and suddenly emerged from a gap in the fence one after the other. Facing the lion beast with no iron fence to block it, the audience panicked and ran away. Some tourists even had their shoes trampled off and thrown away during the escape process, which shows the sense of oppression caused by the lion.
Maybe the lion is unfamiliar with the surrounding environment. The lion did not rush towards tourists and attack people, but only walked slowly around. About ten minutes later, the keeper trapped the lion into a cage and no harm occurred. At the same time, relevant departments have ordered the circus to suspend operations for rectification, and the relevant situation is also under investigation.
Captive beasts are also dangerous
< p>For big cats such as tigers, lions, and leopards, although the hunting ability of captive beasts is not as fierce as that of wild beasts, they have sharp canine teeth and claws. In addition, when interacting with these beasts, they cannot distinguish the severity of their attacks. It's easy to hurt people.In a zoo in Accra, Ghana, Africa, a man tried to steal two white lion cubs, ventured into the lion cage, and was bitten to death by an adult lion. When people face ferocious beasts, the size difference is so big that it is easy to stimulate their hunting instinct. If they are bitten by them, it is almost difficult to escape.
In May 2021, three leopards escaped from Hangzhou Wildlife World. The leopards were about 2 and a half years old and were still underage. Two of them were finally captured and the other was missing. Faced with a captive-bred leopard that is still underage, a large amount of manpower and material resources are still deployed to search for it, because in human areas, this little leopard has the ability to pose a certain threat to humans.
In many cases, after captive beasts escape, More powerful than wild beastsIt is even more frightening because wild beasts will become cautious when encountering unfamiliar scents and will not attack rashly. However, captive beasts are different. They are not afraid of people and have become accustomed to human scents. They even take the initiative to approach humans and even let them attack. They think people are more vulnerable to attack, so these captive beasts are more dangerous and deadly.
For example, in Dudhwa National Park in India, a tiger cub was rewilded and released into the wild. However, this cub was accustomed to the smell of humans since it was a child, so it did not Instead of staying away from human areas and escaping into the mountains, they appeared on the outskirts of villages and attacked human poultry and livestock. When the tiger cub reaches adulthood, it poses a greater threat. The tiger cub also transforms into a killer tiger, attacking humans with bites and killing more than 20 people. In the end, the tiger was also shot to death.
Big cats in the wild have just begun to meet humans , the beasts looked at the way humans walked upright, and their main food was ungulates, which walked differently from their prey, so they did not immediately regard humans as food. But whether they are tigers, lions, or leopards in the zoo, they have lived with humans since childhood. If they escape to the wild, they will not avoid them like wild cats. Instead, they will actively approach them, which can easily threaten the lives of local people.
Of course, when wild beasts hurt people, for example, if If tigers have attacked humans or eaten humans, these tigers must be included in the list of deadly tigers. These tigers will think that humans can be easily hunted, and the tiger's taste will change, thinking that humans are easier to kill than other animals. To hunt, you must kill these deadly tigers.
