我們到了亞洲大象園看大象表演。最主要是有兩個穿著綠色衣服的叔叔坐在大象的背上,然後叫大象做出不同的動作。當兩位叔叔坐在大象的背上的時候,我在想不知道他們的屁股會不會很熱&很痛。當天新加坡的氣溫是很熱的,當陽光射向大象的時候,大象的身體會很熱,不知道會不會燙傷兩位叔叔?
當其中一位叔叔坐在大象的鼻子上的時候,我除了擔心叔叔會不小心掉在地上發生意外,我也擔心叔叔的體重會把大象的鼻子坐斷。
如果以後有機會,我也想嘗試一下坐在大象的鼻子和背上。
當綠色衣服的叔叔下來以後,他們兩人開始介紹大象的information。他們說有一個水池讓大象洗澡,那個水池叫大象晨浴區。大象最喜歡到那裡洗澡,因為大象的象毛很少,很容易會有皮膚病,所以它們要常常到大象晨浴區洗澡。如果大象不幸地患上皮膚病,不知道小栗旬獸醫大人能不能把它治好?
另外,
大象
每天可以排出非常多的糞便(忘記了有多少),它的
糞便可以把一個人活埋。如果有一個工作人員不小心在
大象肚痛的時候接近它,不知道會不會有被
糞便活埋的危險?
Sometimes I feel sorry for all those elephants. They have to be trained to entertain all the visitor. They have to performe their show twice every day. Do they feel tired and unhappy? I hope they feel happy in the zoo. I am pretty sure they miss their family and friends from their birth place. If I am an elephant, I would rather live in the wild jungle instead of living in the zoo. At least there is more freedom in the wild jungle. Nobody would be riding on their back every day. Nobody would force them to bath according to a particular schedule.
However, if they escape from the zoo, I think they no longer can be adapted to the wildlife environment. They have already lost their ability to survive in the natrual environment after their training. They have to live in the zoo for the rest of their life. They will no longer have an opportunuity to go back to Asia or Africa.
Somtimes when I am watching the animal show at zoo, I feel excited and I think the show is always interesting, but I always wonder whether the elephants would be happy or not. Do they really have a choice?
