"People have almost starved to death, not to mention animals?" Accumulated 18 months, received no wages, Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Park staff in the March 10 mass lay-off. With the involvement of the media, the park has a row in November last year, there are 11 tigers died of non-normal incident was able to reveal that in public.
Causes of death on the Siberian tiger, the zoo's report stated mostly enteritis, kidney failure and other diseases death, mainly due to the Northeast Tiger "nutritional status of extremely bad." A breeder introduction, in theory, one tiger every day to consume more than 10 kilograms of beef, with poor performance since the zoo, the tiger a day to feed a few Baitiao Ji or chicken skeleton, not enough to eat. Shenyang Wild Animal Protection Station vice station Xiao-Qiang Liu was carrying beef to feed a tiger, but the tiger does not eat because of where the tiger had never eaten beef, they simply do not know.

Hunger, isolation, was bitten, was shot to death in your country ... ... for the protection of animals, a Siberian tiger, the stay in Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Park is really very unlucky.

Weight pay talks
Normal circumstances, each Tiger should eat twelve or thirteen pounds of beef a day. The past few months, Shenyang Forest Wild Zoo Siberian tiger to eat only one or two chickens a day frame. 3 consecutive months, the tiger is only eaten meat twice.
Hungry tiger behind it is hungry because of the zoo staff. Staff lay-off pay talks, animal weight into pay talks.

In order to maintain operation of off-season park, with only about 150 staff to work. Since March 10, the employee is unwilling to come to work. "Can not even feed himself, but also old-age pension tiger?"
After investigation, the park keepers have 8-11 people. March 12, a feeding member admitted that he has three days did not go to homes to feed the tiger. As no one he does not know. But since the 13th, the zoo, all employees began to "seal" does not disclose any information with the outside world.
Employees not paid their salaries, animals were starved to death, but the owner is very wealthy.
The incident, the zoo, there is another name for "Shenyang Glacier Animal Paradise." Shenyang City Industry and Commerce Bureau provided information display, Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Park Limited registration period is September 29, 1998, Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Park Amusement Co., Ltd. is registered in April 11, 2000, legal representative of both Yang Zhenhua, the former registered capital of 50 million, which registered capital of 30 million, which gave a timely 2008 annual inspection, but the former did not. Yang Zhenhua there is one in Shenyang called "Shenyang Shengjing International Golf Club Limited" company, its registered capital of 10 million. "Shengjing Golf" is located to sit in the road, local people say, "This is the best golf courses in Shenyang."
A public information, Yang Zhenhua was "Chih-Cheng Enterprise Group, chairman of Dalian, Dalian Genghis Khan International Enterprise Group shareholders, Liaoning Province Golf Association vice president, Shenyang Shengjing International Golf Club Ltd chairman, Shenyang Glacier Animal Park Board long "and so on.

Odd employees said they rarely saw the boss, the zoo thing is basically the old zoo, over the original Liu army is responsible for.

"Was joint-stock"
Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Park was formerly known as Shenyang Zoo, near xiaoheyan in urban areas. According to insiders introduced in the sit in wild zoo, is the Mu (Shenyang former mayor, found guilty of accepting bribes and possessing enormous wealth for his crimes in 2001, sentenced him to death, suspended for two years, died of cancer in 2002) when the dominant ruling party was established in Shenyang, in accordance with the formation of joint-stock system in the form of setting up a new zoo, the original revocation of Shenyang Zoo. The old zoo animal shares, accounting for 15% of the shares, some of the staff to work here.
Insider introduction, Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Park from the December 2000 opening date, only the initial operation of a good two to three years, after declining efficiency. Is this case, coupled with the dissatisfaction in the "change within the system outside the system", in 2003, from a zoo in Shenyang City, the withdrawal of a large number of employees to return to City Garden Bureau.
"Private enterprises to participate in the zoo business motive is to make money is to capture the business to maximize profits. When operating properly, the affected animal is first garden." Locally engaged in animal protection and management of a staff member said that in his view, The tragedy is rooted in the zoo's commercial management conceals potential problems.
In 2004, the Park and wounding a tiger to death after the accident, the park results got worse. By 2006, because the source of income is not clear, the park stop park for 10 days. Then, sit in the CMC allocated 2 million a year to the park, for animal breeding.
"Stock" had been portrayed as a really good thing. But the fact is, Shenyang Zoo, the operation of stock in the current appears to be unsuccessful. So, the park "was joint-stock" is also hidden behind in the end what things?
Some media said, according to the 2001 Dalian Intermediate People's Court announced the "original CPC Shenyang Municipal Committee, deputy secretary of Liaoning Province, Shenyang Municipal People's Government Mayor Mu bribery, the case of huge amount of property from unidentified sources verdict" shows that between 1998 to 2000 , Mu Yang Zhenhua has received 680,000 yuan bribe (including cash, furniture, household appliances, decoration fees), 2 million. From April 1996 to October 1999, Mu Ying Yang Zhenhua the trust, using his position to facilitate the approval of the project in the Northeast Wild Animal Park, and to help resolve the relocation of the project and loan issues and coordinate the relevant departments for land development and construction of low-cost rental Sheng Beijing Golf.
Yang Zhenhua's name had appeared in the case of long strings of Mu list of witnesses, Yang provided testimony in this case: Since 1997, he was engaged in Shenyang, Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Park, Shengjing Golf have been Mu's support, care; Mu instructions Dongling District, Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Park the Government can not delay the relocation work; in July 1999, Mu Forest Wild Animal Park to help him coordinate the project loans. "Looked after" under the September 1999, Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Park Co., Ltd. in China, Agricultural Bank of China branch in Shenyang City in the street 30 million yuan loan. As for Yang Zhenhua whether in the Mu case subject to judicial involvement, for the time being there is no channel for verification.
Zoo opened in 10 years, the animals starved to death in batches, the boss rarely intervene. Yang Zhenhua plate under the zoo what purpose?
In this regard, the secretary of Ms. Wang Yang Zhenhua zoo boss has responded by saying that the beginning of course, hope to be able to make money, but the past few years, has experienced SARS, avian flu, a stream, to prevent organized tours, but are far away from the city , resulting in a loss of animal park has always been. She said that since the Shenyang Glacier Animal Park, is losing money since they repeatedly to communicate with government departments, hoping to close their business.
Data shows that in March 2009, Shenyang Tourism Investment Project website, there have been a "theme park in Shenyang Glacier Animal overall transfer of information", the transfer price is 320 million yuan. In the earlier 2006, the Shenyang Glacier Animal Park has closed parks, and in access to government subsidies to re-open after the welcoming. In 2007, the Qipanshan Development Zone has issued the news that due to poor management, glaciers Animal Park Golf Club, together with the Mukden packaged for sale, the overall transfer.
A variety of sources also shows that Yang Zhenhua not imagined so rich. Yang Zhenhua one reported case of property rights disputes, told reporters after the case lasted for 12 years and spent a lot of human and material resources Yang and energy. There are claims that the zoo built when the park has not been repaid the bank loans, and the park were trying to 320 million yuan and 3.5 billion in the overall price of the transfer, in which more than 200 million yuan of foreign debt, but no one is interested.
Zoo disclose the name of a person in charge also stated that even the limited viability of the zoo each year, or a conservative income 1,200 million, plus 2 million yuan of government subsidies, a total of 13 million. If the funds can be spent on staff salaries to pay and animal conservation, the death of tiger incident would not have occurred.
Earlier media reports had said that the zoo Wu, deputy secretary of party committee seats introduced into the zoo owner Yang Zhenhua proceeds to repay debt Naqu go. But, yesterday, Wu Xi denied he has said so.
Since the beginning of 13, the zoo has taken over the Shenyang municipal government. Such an outcome, it is the aspirations of investors over the years.
Prior to this, an employee reveals that the death of tiger-related aspects of the incident was intentionally aimed to blackmail the government foot the bill. It seems that this is not groundless.

Tiger fill prison death
Tiger's death, they are how to deal with? This is one of the core of public interest.
Previously, there was news that death has been made of tiger tiger bone wine, to important guests as well as the Chinese Lunar New Year, leaders will come up to host a party gifts.
In response, the park seats Wu, deputy secretary of Party Committee responded by saying that the tiger died,
will call upon experts in Shenyang Agricultural University, came to do case analysis to determine the cause of death of the tiger; the same time, the zoo's veterinary hospital staff autopsy will be dead tiger would be meat, bones, skin and so separated. Tiger, tiger and other things of value will be frozen up. Whole set of procedures, there are experts who are also hesitant to dispose of.
Zhou Bin, Dalian Zoo officials have also confirmed that each tiger from birth to death has a record that is to monitor the Wildlife Conservation Department, the death of tiger management is strict, not allowing the sale.
The reporter learned from the Office of Shenyang Glacier Animal Park entitled "animal skin bones schedule" information to see, as of December 31, 2009, the Northeast tiger bone deposit account number of 30, 30 Existence number of bones, skin 25, then Notes for "Bone 30 was incomplete, damaged hides rot 5", original value of 1.815 million yuan.

Total number of 457, with a total value of 10,867,875 yuan. However, these skin bone whereabouts and disposition, the data did not show.
"If effective regulatory authorities, the tragedy could have been avoided." Zoology expert Professor Liu Mingyu, Liaoning University, pointed out that "although the Government has allocated substantial funds to support private zoo operation, but the money is really used in animals, the state protects the status of animals in the zoo how departments are lax supervision. "He said that in November 2009, there Siberian tiger death report submitted to wildlife conservation departments, the departments concerned to take timely measures so that if there will be no more than 10 tigers died of non-normal.
13, the Shenyang municipal government set up a medical treatment, investigation, took over the three working groups assigned to the park. The municipal government has also allocated 7 million yuan used to solve the forest Wild Animal Park Tiger unnatural deaths, of which 5 million yuan special fund for the relief of the existing tigers and other wild animals, 200 million was spent to restore the park to normal management and protection.
In the afternoon, the State Forestry Administration, Wildlife Conservation and Nature Reserve Management Division, Chang Hsi-Wu and his party also arrived in Shenyang, the direct rushed to the zoo the investigation.
From the beginning on the 15th, the zoo began tonne each tiger can eat 5 pounds of beef and two Baitiao Ji. In addition, calls for 20 homes to the tiger Taipower heating, lighting and so on.
Can not be optimistic, because hungry for too long, as at yesterday, there are three Siberian tiger is critically ill state, including one in critical condition. In addition, another two in a weak state.
March 13, decided to adopt an enterprise in Shenyang, Shenyang Strange Slope zoo in a 7-month-of "Dada" Manchurian tigers. Year, "Dada" all the costs of room and board and all kinds of responsibility by the merchants.
In any case, at least to the tragic to bring some comfort in the Siberian tiger.
Loss of the National Zoo Jiucheng
Department of Life Science, Liaoning University, Professor Ming-Yu Liu said that China's captive-bred tigers more than 100 years of history, breeding technology will certainly be no problem. He also bluntly: the alleged torture and murder of the zoo managers Tiger! However, the legal profession, said China's current law zoo tiger breeding malnutrition leading to death there is no clearly defined, it resulted from a legal perspective investigated the death of tiger-related liability of those responsible is difficult.
China's "Wild Animal Protection Law" amendment passed in 2004, to protect the hunting of endangered wild animals specified offenses, but that led to the protection of farmed animals, how to deal with a large number of non-natural death, but did not make provision, which also makes the individual non-performing private the operator does not treat the zoo to protect animals, without fear.
Data show that China now has more than 30 "zoo", which are mostly taken by the government Safari investment, corporate investment management business model, but there really are very few to achieve profitability.
Data shows that about 90% of the national zoo in the red. China Wildlife Conservation Association staff told reporters that the zoo operator better in Shanghai and Guangzhou Panyu Safari Park Safari Park. Among them, Shanghai Wild Animal Park for the state, while the Guangzhou Panyu Wild Animal Park is a private enterprise in operation. The staff member acknowledged that the zoo's operation and development of popular geographical constraints, it was their understanding the north of the zoo, the situation is not very good, cold winter is the zoo's operating off-season, the north off-season is too long.
