Recently, the mysterious death of a high-profile Internet celebrity fox in Kanas Scenic Area, Xinjiang, has attracted widespread attention. According to Ms. Song, a person familiar with the matter, the fox is often fed by tourists at will, resulting in its body being unable to metabolize high-salt food components, which is suspected of causing kidney failure and dying.It is understood that this fox has many fans in the Kanas scenic area, and attracts many tourists to watch it with its cute image and close personality. However, some visitors often feed them a variety of food to satisfy their curiosity or to take pictures.
Ms. Song said she suspected the fox's death was related to a tourist feeding. Due to the long-term effects of tourist feeding, the fox's body may not be able to adapt to the high-salt, high-fat human food, leading to problems with its health. Especially for some processed foods that contain additives, preservatives and other chemicals, the health hazards to wild animals are greater.
Experts point out that there is a huge difference in the food structure between wild animals and humans, and the high salt, high fat, high sugar and other components in human food are extremely harmful to the health of wild animals. Long-term feeding may lead to obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and other health problems, and even lead to fatal consequences such as kidney failure and liver disease.
In response to this incident, experts called on tourists to respect the living habits of wild animals and not to feed them at will. At the same time, the management department of the scenic spot should also strengthen supervision, strictly prohibit tourists from feeding, and protect the living environment of wild animals.
In addition, visitors should also keep their distance when watching wild animals and do not interfere with the normal life of the animals.
