The orangutans in the Shanghai Zoo were fed high blood sugar by tourists. Do you think the feeding behavior should be banned?

With the continuous development and progress of the times, more and more families are beginning to pay attention to the cultivation and education of their children. Every weekend, some parents will take their children to aquariums and zoos. When playing, in order to prevent hunger during the play, they always choose to bring some snacks. But after arriving at the zoo, they couldn't stand the cuteness of the animals, so most of the snacks were used to feed their favorite animals. A recent piece of news from the Shanghai Zoo has sparked heated discussions among netizens. What is the specific story? Let me share with you what I learned.

On April 18, 2021, Beijing time, the Shanghai Zoo held a public welfare event with the theme of "Refuse to Feed Animals". Through the narration of the zoo staff, we learned that the original intention of the event was that since the establishment of the zoo, tourists have repeatedly been forbidden to feed animals, and many of the foods fed are very harmful to the animals' bodies and can cause indigestion in the animals. There are also some diseases such as hyperglycemia, which in severe cases can even cause death of animals. Just like Sentai, the orangutan at the Shanghai Zoo who has caused heated discussions. He has long been suffering from high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high blood sugar and other diseases in his old age.

Through the introduction of the breeders, we know that these primates are very smart. After such a long period of identification, they know that the person carrying the backpack will definitely have some delicious snacks. When they approach, These primates will wave to them, and some tourists will throw their snacks to them out of joy, and they will have the same problem as children - picky eaters and not eating. Their malnutrition will increase the risk of disease. Some young animals are even injured on the way to food.

In fact, their meals are generally very balanced and nutritious. The keepers arrange food for each meal according to the nutritional table, without the need for us tourists to feed them. Now that the May Day holiday is about to begin, and it is also the annual tourism peak, the Shanghai Zoo also uses this event to call on tourists to refuse to feed animals when visiting during the festival. What do you think about this?
