Recently, in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, the video of a 20-year-old girl who raised wolves after 1995 feeding and interacting with wolves became popular on the Internet. The Beijing Youth Daily reporter then contacted Zhou Xinyue, a wolf girl in the video. Zhou Xinyue said that he has been raising wolves for four years. At present, the monthly salary for raising wolves is 2,800 yuan. These wolves are usually used to shoot movies and TV plays, and also to take photos with tourists. It is understood that these wolves are purchased from professional breeding bases and equipped with veterinarians for immunization and deworming at regular intervals. The staff of the Wild Protection Center of Chifeng Forestry Bureau told Beiqing Daily that wolves are non-key wild protected animals. At present, wolves can be raised in Chifeng as long as the source is legal and there is a compliance quarantine certificate, but the breeder needs to ensure the safety of feeding and prevent wolves from hurting people.
After 95, the wolf girl network became popular.
Recently, the video of Zhou Xinyue, a wolf girl, interacting with eight wolves has aroused the curiosity and concern of netizens. In the video, Zhou Xinyue carries a plastic bucket filled with meat, surrounded by eight wolves. Zhou Xinyue sometimes throws the meat into the air to attract wolves to eat, sometimes holds the meat in his hand to tease the wolves, and sometimes even feeds them with his mouth. The video shows that Zhou Xinyue raised these eight wolves in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, and the environment in which the wolves lived was mostly sand.
Zhou Xinyue in the video wears a thick Mongolian robe and hat, and smiles from time to time. Zhou Xinyue said that she has been raising wolves since she graduated from junior high school at the age of 16. Now it has been four years, and she plans to continue to do so in the future. "I have deep feelings with wolves now."
The video attracted widespread attention and discussion from netizens. Some netizens are very embarrassed about this. "I really envy you, but I like wolves"; Some netizens questioned the authenticity of the video, "I feel that these wolves are like dogs"; Some netizens yelled at Zhou Xinyue on the Internet. "The hobby is very special, but we should pay attention to safety."
Chop 50 Jin of meat every day and feed it to wolves.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily contacted Zhou Xinyue, a wolf girl. She said that she is a native of Fushun, Liaoning Province, and has loved canines since she was a child. Four years ago, after graduating from junior high school at the age of 16, she went to her uncle in Fushun, Liaoning Province to raise wolves. My uncle has four wolves at home. "I like canines since I was a child, and I have several dogs at home. When I came to my uncle’s house and saw these wolves, I really wanted to get in touch with them." Zhou Xinyue said, "I was scared at first, but I gradually found that wolves also have a gentle side."
This contact is four years.
In November this year, Zhou Xinyue applied to work in the Hanshulu International Eco-tourism Zone in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, with a monthly salary of 2,800 yuan, and lived in the staff dormitory of the tourist zone. Zhou Xinyue said: "I get up at 7: 30 every morning to wash and eat, and then I start chopping meat, which takes about 20 kilograms for ten minutes."
The place to chop the meat is next to the staff dormitory. Zhou Xinyue cuts more than 20 kilograms of chicken, mutton offal or lamb into pieces at a time, and cuts them once in the morning and afternoon, and then feeds them. More than 20 kilograms of meat was packed in a wooden bucket, and Zhou Xinyue carried it with a pole and wobbled to a hill in the tourist area. "One wolf has ten acres of land, and eight wolves are more than 80 acres, which are fenced out." Zhou Xinyue said.
"I can feed them for about an hour at a time. Sometimes wolves are very naughty. I have to beat them and feed them at the same time, which takes about an hour." Zhou Xinyue said with a smile. Eight wolves will jump around Zhou Xinyue, fighting for food. "Every time I feed it, I carefully observe it. When I see which wolf can’t catch it, I will feed it more."
Tug of war with wolves is a rice game.
Zhou Xinyue told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that when she first came into contact with wolves, she was as scared as most people. "I am afraid of them, and they are afraid of me." Under the leadership of his uncle, Zhou Xinyue gradually became familiar with wolves. "I treat them with great care, I will observe them carefully and spend almost every day with them." Zhou Xinyue said, "Girls my age have some class reunions or something. I have hardly been there. I have to take care of wolves without them."
"I miss them very much." When it comes to the four wolves in my uncle’s house, Zhou Xinyue is a little sad. "My uncle sometimes takes some videos or photos and sends them to me. When I go home this New Year, I will definitely visit them."
Zhou Xinyue will not carry self-defense tools when feeding and accompanying these wolves. "I just wear a Mongolian robe, one for keeping warm and the other for preventing scratches." Zhou Xinyue said, "Wolves don’t take the initiative to attack me, but sometimes their sharp claws or teeth will scratch me, which is unintentional."
Tug of war with wolves is a game between meals. Zhou Xinyue holds the meat in his hand and "tug of war" with wolves who come to eat meat. Sometimes, Zhou Xinyue will feed the wolf with meat in his mouth as in the video. "Sometimes I will bite the meat in my mouth on purpose. At this time, the wolf who comes to eat meat will sometimes loosen his mouth and bite it. ‘ Be careful ’ I know that they are also afraid of hurting me. "
Raising wolves requires legal sources and formal quarantine.
Zhou Xinyue told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that these wolves are mainly used to take photos with tourists, or to make movies and TV series. When tourists come to the current tourist area to take photos with wolves, Zhou Xinyue will take meat to appease the wolves. "But because the tourist area has just opened, and some of them have not been fully built, there are not many people coming."
When asked whether keeping wolves conforms to the legal norms, Zhou Xinyue said that the wolves in my uncle’s house and here are kept after formal procedures, otherwise it is illegal. The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned from Mr. He, a staff member of Hansulu International Eco-tourism Zone, that these eight wolves were purchased from a breeding base in the northeast, and professional veterinarians in the tourist zone immunized and repelled wolves on time.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily immediately consulted the Chifeng Forestry Bureau about the local regulations on raising wolves. Yang Yongzhen, a staff member of the wildlife protection department of the bureau, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that according to the current provisions of the Wildlife Protection Law, wolves are non-key protected animals. As long as the source of the breeder is legal and there is a formal quarantine certificate, they can be raised. "Of course, we will also have certain supervision over the breeders. After all, wolves are also wild animals, so we must pay attention to safety."
