男子屡次用石块砸袋鼠 称难得来一趟

导读:最近，一名男子在扬州参观动物园时嫌袋鼠都躺卧在地面上，画面不能展示袋鼠的“风采”，多次从栅栏外向袋鼠砸石头，令人气愤。

Zoo visitors are usually warned not to feed the animals or throw things in exhibits, but one jerk decided to chuck some rocks at a group of kangaroos in Yangzhou, China, on Sunday.

参观动物园的游客经常被告知不要在参观过程中随意投喂食物或向动物扔东西，然而，3月26日，一位游客却在扬州某家动物园内频频向袋鼠扔石头，令人十分气愤。

The man was caught on video attempting to throw multiple stones at the resting animals in order to get them to move and hop around, but he was immediately stopped by fellow visitors, according to Shanghaiist.

据“上海人网站”报道，男子的行为恰好被围观群众拍了下来。视频中显示，这名男子为了让袋鼠起身活动跳跃，不断向正在休息的袋鼠扔石头，但随即就被其他游客制止。

He claimed he was not doing anything wrong, and explained that he was on a “rare trip,” which makes no sense whatsoever and is not a good excuse to start throwing hard objects at a living creature.

男子声称自己并没有做错任何事，并解释道自己“自己是难得才来一趟”，但却完全不能为自己向野生动物扔石头的行为辩解，整段解释毫无意义。

The video has since gone viral on Chinese social media on Wednesday with many online netizens arguing that he should be the one thrown in the cage and see how he likes it.

该视频于3月29日在各大社交媒体迅速传播开来，许多网友都表示该男子应该被关进笼子里，看看他自己是什么滋味。

According to the Huffington Post, instances of animal abuse at zoos have continued in China, despite previous crackdowns.

据《赫芬顿邮报》报道，虽然中国先前对此类事情进行过惩罚或制裁，但诸如在动物园虐待动物的事例还是屡次上演。

In 2013, a series of photos showing visitors at the Hangzhou Zoo throwing snowballs at lions went viral and received thousands of comments criticizing the abuse.

2013年，杭州动物园游客向狮子扔雪球的一组照片在网上疯狂传播，众多网友都纷纷发表评论，对虐待动物的行为给予批评和谴责。

Breeder Zhu Yan said that workers at the zoo were busy clearing snow at the time and were not aware of visitors chucking snowballs at the animals.

饲养员朱燕表示园内的工作人员当时正忙着清扫积雪，没有意识到游客们正在向狮子们扔雪球。

“Although snowballs can’t hurt large animals like lions, the behavior upset us nonetheless,” Zhu said. “Our animals should be treated fairly. We hope our visitors will use some self-discipline and be nicer to them.”

“虽然雪球并不能真正伤害到狮子这种大型动物，但是这种行为却让我们特别寒心，”朱燕说道，“动物们也应被平等对待，我希望游客们能够具有自律精神，善待我们的动物。”
