Chapter 170 The Bullied African Elephant
Si Ran cut open the rest of the plastic woven bags.
Without exception, they were all feed of unknown origin wrapped in wood chips.
Si Ran was shaking with anger, but after taking photos of all the evidence, he quickly left the warehouse without looking back.
On the other side, the female employee who accompanied Si Ran to the toilet saw that Si Ran had not come out for half an hour. After realizing something was wrong, she hurried into the toilet.
Just as she was knocking on the toilet doors one by one, she saw Si Ran walking out of the toilet cubicle.
The female employee was stunned and stared at Si Ran.
Seeing this, Si Ran raised an eyebrow and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? There are quite a lot of people queuing for the restroom today. It took me a long time to get to my turn."
The female employee subconsciously glanced at the long queue and suppressed the doubts in her heart.
The two soon reunited with the others.
Lu Zhen and the female employee looked at each other, and the female employee nodded at Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen felt relieved after knowing that nothing had gone wrong.
The group walked from the flamingo park to the elephant park.
Si Ran heard the animals' complaints along the way. He pretended to know nothing with a calm face, but his heart was in turmoil.
roar--
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden earth-shaking roar from the elephant park.
Then, all the tourists around rushed over and raised their phones to take pictures.
Si Ran's face changed, and he and Song Zhi looked at each other. Ignoring Lu Zhen, they also walked quickly to the elephant park.
The park was filled with dense crowds of onlookers. Si Ran could only see from a distance seven or eight elephants using their trunks and tusks to push a skinny female elephant onto the electric fence, while some elephants used their forelimbs to rest on the female elephant's back.
The mother elephant was lying on the ground, her body curled up, and the soil on the ground was all roughly rubbed and cultivated.
Lu Zhen walked over to Si Ran at this time and explained, "The male elephant is in estrus now. He'll be fine in a few days."
Si Ran frowned and said nothing.
Song Zhi said angrily: "The female elephant is clearly being bullied! Even if it is the mating season, how can the female elephant bear it with so many male elephants!"
Lu Zhen still smiled. "Wild animals behave like this in the wild. This is very common in zoos. And look at this female elephant, isn't she fine?"
However, just as he finished speaking, he saw Si Ran's fiery eyes, and Lu Zhen's smile subconsciously subsided, and his voice stopped abruptly.
Si Ran said, "The female elephant told you it was okay? You know the status between male and female elephants is not compatible, so why don't you keep them separately? Director Lu is an expert after all, he must know how terrifying male elephants in estrus are. If they can't find a mate, they can rape a rhino to death. Now this female elephant is obviously unwilling to mate with them. I ask you, why don't you separate them!"
Without waiting for Lu Zhen to explain, Si Ran asked again: "Director Lu is a professional, and the zoo keepers are also professionals. If you want to explain, tell me the facts!"
After all these days, this is the first time Si Ran has scolded someone so openly.
That’s right, a scolding!
When Si Ran thought of the warehouse scene she had seen half an hour ago, and then looked at the scars on the mother elephant's body and her skin rubbed by the electric fence, she no longer had a good face towards Lu Zhen.
"Judging from the size of this female elephant, it's doubtful whether she's even an adult. How dare your zoo put so many male elephants and one female elephant together? Where's your professionalism? Deal with this immediately, or I'll report it to the higher authorities!"
Si Ran looked at Lu Zhen with sinister eyes and threatened, "Director Lu may have heard of my identity. If I report it to my superiors, I don't need any approval!"
Lu Zhen looked at Si Ran, then at Song Zhi, and was stunned.
What is going on?
A panic spread throughout Lu Zhen's heart. He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to start.
But Si Ran's voice was so loud that the tourists around who heard it subconsciously looked over.
I don’t know who recognized Si Ran, but after shouting Si Ran’s name, everyone around him looked at him.
Lu Zhen became even more panicked.
This matter is neither big nor small, but it was suddenly made public in this way, so there will definitely be social opinion.
Lu Zhen subconsciously wanted to calm the situation, so he lowered his voice and said to Si Ran, "Miss Si, the male elephants are in estrus now. If you rashly take the female elephants away, they will only become more aggressive than they are now. Besides, we don't have any extra space for the female elephants..."
"So Director Lu is planning to let it go?" Si Ran asked with a cold look in his eyes, "I now seriously doubt the professionalism and authenticity of all the staff in your park."
Si Ran finished speaking and walked forward.
Seeing this, the tourists all made way for Si Ran.
Si Ran found the staff and said to the iron gate in front of him, "Open the iron gate."
The staff was stunned.
Is Si Ran going in?
The staff couldn't make a decision and could only turn their attention to Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen didn't expect Si Ran to act out of the ordinary.
What can Si Ran do if he goes in? These male elephants are clearly in their irritable period now. If he suddenly goes in, won’t Si Ran be trampled to death by the male elephants?
"Ms. Si, our zoo has its own rules and regulations. If you continue to act like this, we'll go to the police station and have a clear opinion!" Lu Zhen said firmly, his face darkening. "There's nothing wrong with our zoo's management. Miss Si, however, needs to be mindful of your words and actions."
Is this a naked threat to her?
After Si Ran figured it out, he suddenly sneered.
But the next second, her face turned cold and she said in a cold voice, "Is there a time for us to go to the Animal Protection Association and have a clear discussion? If you want to call the police or go to court, I'll be there for you. But if anything happens to this female elephant today, I promise to make a major change at your Haicheng Zoo!"
Lu Zhen's face immediately looked as if he was constipated.
Si Ran was not threatening him, but she would definitely do it!
What kind of power is behind Si Ran?
Roar, roar, roar——
The roar of the huge male elephant was accompanied by the faint screams of the female elephant. Si Ran's face became more and more ugly. He shouted at the staff of the elephant park: "Open the door!"
The staff trembled with fear.
Si Ran seemed to be emitting a cold air, which made him subconsciously take out the key.
Seeing this, Song Zhi grabbed it and quickly opened the gate of the elephant garden.
Without waiting for Lu Zhen and others to stop them, Si Ran and Song Zhi rushed in as fast as they could.
