Chapter 181 Trolls are Everywhere
It must be said that Gao Min's words made a lot of sense; the video of the tiger attacking a person immediately drew a lot of criticism.
The tourists who posted the videos were the first to object, and one by one they showed off their zoo ticket stubs to prove that they were present at the time.
In addition, some people who were also at the scene at the time, but were too busy filming because the incident happened so suddenly and was so dangerous, also came forward to corroborate Ye Wanxi's testimony.
[Those who say it's a publicity stunt must be motherless, right? I was one of the tourists there, and I saw Ms. Ye jump over the fence to rescue the child, but with so many eyes watching, and the tiger chasing them the whole time, you call that a publicity stunt? If you're so capable, why don't you stage a publicity stunt for us?]
[Tourist +1: I witnessed almost the entire incident. It started when a couple brought their child to the wildlife enclosure to see the tigers. They lost their grip on the child, causing the three- or four-year-old to fall. The fall was dangerous for an adult, let alone a child! Luckily, there was moss and some weeds underneath, so the child wasn't seriously injured, just hurt and frightened, crying loudly, which attracted the attention of a tiger resting nearby.]
[You can piece together the rest of the story from the available video footage. Before Ms. Ye, the child's father also tried to climb over the fence to rescue the child, but was stopped. The child's mother cried so hard she nearly fainted. There were many people present, but no one dared to act rashly, after all, it was a tiger, a ferocious beast. But in this situation, Ms. Ye appeared, and without hesitation, she climbed over and rescued the child.]
Yes, yes, I was really moved to tears watching this from outside, but I also felt a little ashamed. A strong man who's 1.8 meters tall, and I'm not as courageous as a young girl.
[Please don't think like that, upstairs. With that tiger-like physique, even several 1.8-meter-tall strong men couldn't do anything to him. Little Yezi is exceptionally gifted; it's something most people can't do.]
Ye Wanxi's fans are very easygoing; they don't bother others unless they offend them, and they are generally quite rational.
Upon seeing this message, they all spontaneously began leaving comments to comfort the man who was present at the time. While comforting him, they also wanted to prevent people from having the misconception that they could do what Ye Wanxi, a young girl, could do.
If someone really wants to seek thrills and goes into the wild animal area to fight those wild animals and causes a death, who knows if those brainless haters will blame it on their idol.
Besides this one, another comment also attracted a lot of attention.
I was one of the tourists at the scene, accompanying my grandmother. When the incident happened, I was supporting my grandmother, watching from the other side of the fence, tense for a long time. Only when the young woman remotely instructed the police to use a tranquilizer gun did my grandmother sigh and say that the young woman was a kind and good child.
At first, I thought the grandma was referring to her heroic rescue of the child. But after leaving the zoo and searching for similar news stories, I understood what she meant. The young woman rushed in without hesitation not only to save the child but also to save the tiger. Because of this, I, a complete novice who never follows celebrities, became a die-hard fan!
Many people actually searched for related news reports because of this long message, only to find that there were quite a few related reports, both domestic and foreign, and they weren't all about tigers, but also about other ferocious beasts such as bears and lions.
Ultimately, regardless of whether the attacked humans succumb to their injuries or are miraculously rescued, the wild animals involved are always shot dead.
This incident quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some people believed that wild animals that had attacked humans should not be kept alive, as they would be a menace. Their wildness had been stirred up, and they might attack other tourists or even zookeepers in the future.
Others believe that the tiger's fault lies not with the tiger, but with the parents of the child, who trespassed on someone else's private property and then demanded that the tiger not attack them.
The two sides argued fiercely, and Ye Wanxi, who had suggested using tranquilizer guns, was also dragged out and scolded by some people who vehemently demanded that the zoo shoot the tiger, who considered her a hypocrite who valued animal lives more than human lives.
Ye Wanxi was unaware of these matters at the moment. She was currently sitting in an office specially set up by the park management, cooperating with the family to give a statement to the police.
Although this incident was caused by the parents not holding their child properly, it also illustrates that some safety facilities in the park still have safety hazards.
Therefore, it cannot be said that this matter is solely the responsibility of this couple; the park also needs to bear some, or even most, of the responsibility.
Fortunately, no one was killed in the end, and the couple were not unreasonable people. In the end, the park agreed to compensate them with money as an apology.
Ye Wanxi observed the entire negotiation without interfering, only politely declining the couple's offer to send her money as a token of gratitude at the end, and also...
"What will happen to that tiger?"
"this……"
All eyes immediately turned to the middle-aged man opposite them.
The zoo's director is a balding man, who looks to be no more than forty or fifty years old. He has regular features and was probably a handsome man when he was young. Unfortunately, his baldness has ruined everything, making it impossible to take your attention away from his head at first glance, let alone his face.
Receiving the questioning gazes of the crowd, the zoo director subconsciously touched his barren head and pondered, "This tiger has already attacked people before, but fortunately no one was injured. According to the zoo's regulations, it should be kept in captivity for a period of time and will not be exhibited for a while. If its ferocity cannot be suppressed during this period, it will probably never be exhibited again."
The worst outcome was simply that the exhibition would no longer be on display, which relieved Ye Wanxi.
After finishing her speech, the principal didn't forget to ask Ye Wanxi and the young couple for their thoughts: "Ms. Ye, do you and the other two think this approach is acceptable?"
"Sure, sure, we have no objection."
"I don't have any either." Ye Wanxi paused, then added, "Can I go see it when it wakes up?"
"It's possible, but I'm afraid it might go crazy if it sees you."
"That's fine. I'm not afraid even if it's not in a cage, let alone the fact that it will probably have to be in a cage for a long time to come. I have a lot of confidence in the safety of your facility."
The park director, who had personally witnessed Ye Wanxi playing with a tiger like a big cat in a tree, was speechless. He had to admit, this woman was incredibly fierce and frightening!
