Chapter 69: Dolphin's troubles

Views:

"A Jing, why did Mr. Xue invite you to see dolphins?" Shi Qing leaned close to Su Jing's ear and asked softly.

"There is a dolphin that refuses to eat and obey. Let me see what's wrong with it." Su Jing said with a smile.

"I don't have a veterinarian or a trainer. Why do I need you to look at it?" Shi Qing felt a little strange, but remembering that Su Jing could tame a killer whale so successfully, she couldn't help but suddenly realized. She glanced at Su Jing curiously, thinking that Su Jing seemed Somehow he became a high-level animal trainer

"We're here." Xue Zonghong opened a door and led Su Jing and Shi Qing into a huge swimming pool. I saw several trainers on the shore directing several dolphins in the swimming pool, making them do various actions and perform various trainings. However, there was a dolphin hiding in the corner, refusing to move despite the trainer's instructions.

"Brother Xue."

"Brother Xue, you are here."

The trainers obviously respected Xue Zonghong very much and said hello one after another.

Seeing Su Jing and Shi Qing, there was a trace of confusion on their faces, because this is a place where dolphins are trained, and outsiders are generally not allowed in. What's more, they are training now, and outsiders are not allowed to disturb them.

"Brother Xue, come and take a look, Xiao Chong is still unwilling to eat and obey." The oval-faced female training camp in the corner said with a bitter face.

"Let Mr. Su take a look." Xue Zonghong said.

"Him?" The oval-faced female trainer was stunned. The other trainers also looked at Su Jing in surprise, thinking that they heard wrongly.

"Brother Xue, you said you wanted to invite a smart trainer, is it him?" The melon-faced trainer looked shocked. Yesterday, they heard Xue Zonghong say that they all admired a very smart trainer. After all, Xue Zonghong was here. How can a person who is so authoritative in terms of being admired even by him be so simple? However, this person is too young, right

"Xiaomei, please get out of the way." Xue Zonghong did not explain too much.

"Oh." Although Gu Mei was doubtful, she still obediently stepped aside.

"Little guy, what's wrong with you?" Su Jing walked forward and squatted down, only to see a dolphin more than three meters long hiding in the corner of the swimming pool, looking glum, and did not respond to Su Jing's words.

"Can you help stabilize it?" Su Jing turned to Gu Mei and asked.

"Okay." When Gu Mei heard Su Jing's request for help, she did not underestimate Su Jing's level. Instead, she appreciated it more. No matter how good a trainer is, he must go through a process of getting familiar with the animals, ignoring the previous training. It is extremely unwise to ask the teacher to help and cooperate. Gu Mei stretched out her hand to hold the dolphin's head, then reached out and gently stroked the dolphin's head.

Su Jing slowly approached and reached out to touch the dolphin. The dolphin looked weak and did not resist at all. Su Jing put her hand under the water and secretly pricked a needle on it, letting a drop of blood drip onto the body. On the animal card.

"I'm in so much pain, I want to die." A childish voice reached Su Jing's ears.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Su Jing was startled by the childish voice. It seemed that this dolphin was not simply unwilling to eat, but had a tendency to commit suicide.

"Every time we perform, everyone is too noisy." Dolphin turned his head and glanced, as if wondering why he could talk to Su Jing.

"Too noisy?" Su Jing was stunned, and after thinking about it, she understood. In fact, she had heard before that dolphins' hearing is far better than that of humans, so applause and cheers are very loud noises to them, and some dolphins can tolerate it. , but some don’t. Xue Zonghong said that this dolphin is particularly smart and popular, and the cheers for it will be the warmest when it appears. The audience is showing their welcome, but they don't know that this is a kind of torture for the dolphins.

In fact, there has always been a lot of controversy about whether dolphins should be kept in captivity. Many people believe that dolphins have a high IQ second only to humans. They have emotions similar to humans and should not be kept in captivity. Moreover, humans do not fully understand dolphins. Many self-righteous behaviors of humans actually cause various harm to dolphins. Captive dolphin suicides have occurred more than once.

This suddenly reminded Su Jing of a legendary figure - Richard O'Berry. Since 1960, Richard O'Berry has been a world-renowned dolphin trainer. Through "The Story of Dolphins" and "Feibao" He is well-known for his film and television works. It can be said that he is synonymous with dolphin training and dolphin performances. The dolphin show he created has allowed a whole generation of American children to answer "Ocean" without hesitation when asked "What do they want to do when they grow up?" biologist".

However, just when he became famous and aquariums and dolphin shows were blooming all over the world, he chose to destroy the entertainment industry he had built with his own hands. The reason is that one day that year, after O'Berry returned from a trip to India, one of the dolphins in "Flying Treasures", Casey, who was also O'Berry's favorite dolphin, swam into O'Berry's arms. , after taking a breath, he consciously closed his nostrils and committed suicide in his arms.

This incident brought a strong shock to O'Berry. He suddenly felt that capturing dolphins and training them was so stupid and ridiculous, so he vowed to devote his life to safeguarding the right of dolphins to survive. He founded the Dolphin Project and Initiating the movement to release captive dolphins, he spent ten years as a dolphin trainer, but spent forty years in conservation opposing dolphin training. For this reason, O'Berry has been arrested all over the world for violating other people's private property - dolphins.

"Your name is Xiao Chong, right?" Su Jing stroked the dolphin's head and said. He would not be as extreme as O'Berry. In fact, SH dolphins still like to be in contact with humans, and captives also have a lot of understanding and protection of dolphins. There are advantages and disadvantages to this matter, and it cannot be beaten to death with a stick.

"Yes." The dolphin nodded.

"I will ask everyone not to quarrel in the future. Don't be unhappy, okay?" Su Jing said.

"Can you really make everyone stop making noise?" The dolphin's voice was full of surprise. Perhaps its biggest pain before was that humans didn't understand it.

"I promise you, if everyone keeps arguing, I will take you to the sea."

"Thank you." The dolphin called out and caressed Su Jing's hand with its head affectionately. Although dolphins have high intelligence, they are still compared to animals. Compared to humans, they can only be regarded as children at most. Naturally, they have no intention to think about Su Jing. Are you lying to it

Seeing the dolphin's reaction, Xue Zonghong's eyes lit up, while Gu Mei's eyes widened. The other trainers gathered around with surprised expressions on their faces. Shi Qing also opened her eyes and looked curiously.

"I heard that you swim very fast, how about we compete?" Su Jing changed the subject.

"I won't compare with you." The dolphin looked a little disdainful.

"Oh? Are you afraid you can't swim with me?" Su Jing smiled.

"How can I not swim like you? Let's compete." The dolphin screamed. It was like a child, prone to being aggressive.

"One, two, three, let's start." Su Jing said, jumping into the pool and swimming forward quickly. The dolphin set off a little late, but it overtook Su Jing like lightning, and then quickly swam back and forth before catching up with Su Jing. However, Su Jing could not even swim to one-third of the length of the swimming pool. Compared with the dolphins, With swimming speed, losing is inevitable.

"You swim so slowly." The dolphin did not leave Su Jing far away this time, and deliberately stayed in front of Su Jing, with a playful look in its eyes. He also deliberately flicked his tail and splashed water on Su Jing's face.

"Stop." Su Jing suddenly pounced and lay on the dolphin's body. The dolphin was like a child, playing with Su Jing.

Seeing this scene, Xue Zonghong, Gu Mei, Shi Qing and other trainers on the shore were completely dumbfounded.
