Wu Lihong said: "There is no medical work that mentions the medicinal value of tiger urine, and the folk remedies of tiger urine for rheumatism are not credible." At the same time, Dr. Wu reminded that since the country has explicitly banned the trading and medicinal use of "tiger by-products" such as tiger bones and meat, tiger urine should not be sold at will, and collecting tiger urine by artificial means may pose harm to the health of tigers.
In addition, animal excrement contains a large number of chemical wastes that are harmful to human body, and it can also spread diseases of some well-known or unknown people and animals.
What's the use of tiger urine? According to folklore, tiger urine has the effects of expelling wind, removing dampness and strengthening yang. Some zoos in Chongqing put tiger urine in mineral water bottles and sell them publicly at the price of 1525 yuan per bottle. It is a very difficult thing to "seek urine from tigers". In order to collect tiger urine, animal keepers have whistled through the partition wall, screwed the tap, and put large condoms on tigers.
Tiger urine is more expensive than oil 10 times. The morning before yesterday, the reporter saw the male tiger urine collected by the animal keeper in Chongqing Zoo-dressed in a bucket and yellow-brown. The zookeeper said that they will pack these treasures into glass bottles later, each bottle can hold about 250 ml, and the price is 15 yuan, which is about 10 times the price of vegetable oil. At the Chongqing Wildlife World in Yongchuan, the staff promised reporters that if they were interested, they could help pick up a fresh pot, which was definitely the first time that the male tiger peed after getting up in the morning.
It is difficult to collect urine condoms. The administrator of Chongqing Wildlife World said that some relatives and friends asked them for fresh tiger urine without pollution, but it was too difficult to do so. It is understood that the administrator has thought of many ways to collect tiger urine on a large scale. Some people suggested putting extra-large condoms on male tigers, but the experiment was not very successful because some tigers were very uncomfortable and afraid of getting sick. Then there is the tiger's wild trip down in the garden, and the condom is "leaking" seriously, and there is not much left. In order to trick the tiger in the tiger house into taking fresh urine, an administrator of Wildlife World, who did not want to be named, revealed his unique experience.
He once tried whistling through the wall outside the tiger house to trick the tiger into urinating-this inspiration came from the experience of raising children, but the effect was not obvious. After the failure of the experiment, the administrator came up with a way to unscrew the tap and let the tap water rattle. I didn't expect this to be very useful. When tigers in tiger huts hear the sound of water, they are often "frightened out of my wits".
