Chen Qiaoen speaks for Molly the elephant. What is the incident about Molly the elephant?
It is about a baby elephant who was taken care of at birth and was suspected of being abused after leaving his hometown. This baby elephant named Molly was born in Kunming Zoo, Yunnan Province. As the Asian elephant is a national first-class protected animal, the baby elephant has attracted many people's attention since it was born. Molly. This name was also obtained through open recruitment. When Molly was 2 years old, she moved from Kunming to Henan in order to adjust the blood relationship of the population. But recently, netizens found from many short videos that Molly was not doing well in Henan and might have been abused.

First, the elephant left his hometown on the grounds of adjusting his blood relationship.

Animals living in the same place for a long time will also have a series of reproductive problems because of their close blood relationship, similar to the marriage of human relatives. It is under such conditions that Molly the elephant moved from Kunming to Henan and came to a foreign land. She should have undertaken the mission of breeding, but unexpectedly she became a tool for the zoo to make money.

Second, the short video shows the elephant being tied and riding.

As can be seen in many videos, there is a baby elephant with fluff on its head and back, and a slightly lighter skin color on its forehead and upper nose, which frequently appears in various animal performances. Not only is the food only watermelon skin, but there are chains tied to the feet. After receiving this information, Kunming Zoo confirmed that this baby elephant was Molly who was sent there through video comparison. In his hometown, he used to be loved by everyone and ate watermelon and carrot cake, but now he is treated unfairly, which makes it difficult for many netizens to let go.

Third, Henan Zoo responded that there was no abuse.

In response to this accusation, Henan Zoo said that it is normal for animals to perform with chains on their feet, and there is no abuse. However, when the relevant departments asked for information disclosure, they were rejected, which had to make people think deeply. Moreover, Molly went to Henan to breed, but the elephant shouldering the sacred mission was treated far less than her hometown. I hope Henan Zoo can give an explanation.
