Save Fubao!! She is a panda born in Korea. Returned at 2024.4.3 to China's shenshuping base, it is at risk of hospitality and abuse during quarantine. Pandas are vulnerable to infection, so they should not be touched carelessly. For pandas born abroad, they hide themselves in places where the environment and facilities are not good, receive money, and get sick a lot due to hospitality. in two months

Do you know what happens four years after a pair of pandas give birth? The first baby panda born in Korea, Fubao, had to go to China in April. A month after returning to China, there was a hole in Fubao's forehead and severe hair loss occurred on her neck. Fubao fans wondered because there was no such hair loss in Korea. In addition, A photo of an stranger, not a zookeeper, touching Fubao in a prohibited area in Shenshuping has been released. Panda hospitality still happen in China. Pandas are suffering and getting disease because of hospitality. Pandas who get disease from hospitality are trapped forever with a very small amount of food. We should pay attention to them. We have to stop panda hospitality. This is abuse. Hopefully, I would like you to pay attention to Fubao. This will also help baby pandas who will be born in the future.
