Although Kevin Richardson was on the outskirts of Johannesburg, Xiao Peng made it to Cape Town first.
After all, visa and airline applications are to be settled here.
The most peculiar part of Africa is that there are three capitals, one administrative capital in Tshwane, one legislative capital in Cape Town, and one judicial capital in Bloemfontein.
By the time Xiao Peng and the others arrived at a small airport in Cape Town, Boban had been waiting for him there for half a day.
As soon as Xiao Peng got off the plane, he saw that Boban was already waiting for them here, and when he saw Xiao Peng get off the plane, Boban looked apologetic: "Mr.
Xiao, please forgive me for giving Kevin your phone number without your permission, but he is really anxious."
He and I were classmates and friends for many years, so I had to do it. ” Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it just so happens that I also want to see Kevin."
He's an admirable fool. ” "Poof."
Boban laughed: "You're so right!
Please get on the bus.
We've booked your visa for you, so let's just go straight to it. ” The two of them, two dogs and one meerkat got into the car together, and Boban sighed: "Mr.
Xiao, your pet is really good."
Kevin might fall in love with them if he saw it. ” "Oh?
Kevin also likes dogs and mongooses?
Xiao Peng asked.
Boban nodded: "He likes all animals." ” Yang Meng asked curiously, "Brother Peng, why do you say that Kevin is an admirable idiot?"
” Xiao Peng explained with a smile: "He may be one of the people who like lions the most in the world, but he is also the one who harms lions the most." ” Yang Meng was completely confused.
Xiao Peng explained: "Kevin Richardson used to work in a fitness center, he was an ordinary exercise therapist, and when he was 23 years old, he met a guy named Rodney Fall at work, who was very rich, bought the lion farm, and invited Kevin Richardson to work. ” "Lion Park?
What for?
"Yang Meng hasn't heard of it.
"It is a zoo established in 1966 and the first open zoo in Africa that allows visitors to drive around.
But later, there were more and more zoos imitating him.
So business is getting worse and worse.
By the time that Faure bought the zoo, business was already bad. ” But Kevin Richardson didn't care, he felt that he could finally deal with the animals, and then became the lion keeper there, taking care of the two lion cubs.
Gradually, he was able to clearly distinguish the different emotions of different lions, and sensitively felt that they were happy and impatient, and the young lions liked it, even when they grew up.
Then his intimate interaction with the lion attracted a lot of tourists.
Seeing a business opportunity, Fore made him a star at the zoo, took a lot of promotional photos of him living with lions, took him on TV, filmed videos, and finally became popular all over the country. ” Yang Meng heard it: "This is a good thing, and how can such a person be the one who harms the lion the worst?"
” Xiao Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "After watching Kevin's video, more and more people want to pet the lion like Kevin Richardson."
As soon as Fore saw that there was a business opportunity, he opened an interactive area for tourists called 'Little Lion World' in the lion park, allowing tourists to pet and hug the little lions to their heart's content.
Makes a lot of money.
And then other zoos looked, oh, this can make money, so they also carried out similar exhibition areas, you see those who come to Africa to travel, how many of them don't go to the zoo to take pictures of lion cubs?
” Yang Meng became more and more confused: "How good is this?"
It can make people like lions more and raise awareness of lion protection. ” Xiao Peng shook his head again: "Dude, you are naïve, let me ask you the simplest question: Where did the little lion come from?"
And the lion cub can grow up to be aggressive at the age of seven or eight months, and it is very dangerous at the age of two, so where does the big lion go?
” Yang Meng was asked, he really hadn't thought about this question.
Xiao Peng explained: "At the beginning, the lion cubs were found in the wild, according to the wildlife protection regulations of Feinan, if you see a young lion cub without parents in the wild, you can take it back and adopt it, but since the market size of the pet lion cub is getting bigger and bigger, the wild lion cub can no longer meet the market demand, so what should I do?"
Since then, there have been lion breeding farms in Feinan, and there are nearly 200 artificial lion breeding farms in Feinan, where lions are paired together, and after they give birth to children, they forcibly take away the lion cubs, and then use hormones to stimulate the lioness to continue to estrus, so that it continues to get pregnant, continue to give birth, take it away, and regenerate。。。。。。
” Yang Meng asked, "What about the big lion?"
Where do they go when they grow up?
” "Sell it to hunting grounds for rich people to hunt, and rich people come here to experience the fun of lion hunting, killing a male lion for 50,000 US dollars, and killing a female lion for 10,000 US dollars."
Xiao Peng said lightly.
"Damn, this is ruthless, isn't it?"
Yang's eyes widened.
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly: "But all this is legal, from breeding to hunting, it is more ironic, before, due to the reduction of habitat, the number of lions has dropped a lot, but now?"
Just looking at the number of lions in the non-south right now the number is the highest in history.

Of course, lions grow in zoos like this, because they lost their parents since childhood, they don't know how to hunt at all, just like our South China tigers in China, they are all bred, even if they are released into the wild, it is difficult to survive outside. ” And now this industrial chain, which has darkened the fate of countless animals, has become one of the pillar industries of Feinan, creating hundreds of millions of turnover every year.
Of course, it will not be banned if it can make money like this.
And it's all because of Kevin Richardson, do you think he's an idiot?
Because he likes animals, he ends up pitting these animals.
Thousands of lions now die in hunting grounds every year, and nearly 10,000 lions are responsible for giving birth to lion cubs in breeding grounds. ” After listening to Xiao Peng's explanation, Yang Meng continued to ask: "Then why do you say that he is an admirable idiot?"
Where is he worthy of admiration?
” Xiao Peng said: "Although it was not his original intention at the beginning, he also played a strong guiding role in encouraging this industry.
To be honest, he could have lived well, after all, he was also a celebrity, but he blamed himself very much, he didn't want more animals to die, so he rescued 32 lions, plus 15 hyenas and four black panthers before the animals were sent to breeding grounds and hunting grounds, and took out all his savings to set up an animal sanctuary named after himself, taking care of the unwanted lions that were sent from various places, Now the animal sanctuary is almost full of lions. ” Yang Meng nodded after hearing this: "People's hearts are sometimes so ugly, you don't know what crazy things humans can do for money."
This is the same as our live bear in Huaxia.
In the end, it's all about money. ” "Hmm.
In the end, it's not Kevin Richardson's fault that it's the problem of those who do anything for money, who only have lions in his eyes and those people who only have money in their eyes.
Xiao Peng said: "He has been fighting against this industry now, but it is really too difficult, you look at the Internet, all kinds of videos playing with lions and leopards are almost endless, and changing the title is hundreds of thousands and millions of views, but have you ever seen a video about training them to hunt or release them into the wild?"
” Yang Meng thought for a while, simply took his mobile phone to check it, and after checking it for a long time, he shook his head: "There really isn't!"
” Xiao Peng smiled helplessly: "This is the reality.
The saddest thing is that Kevin Richardson has been fighting for so long, but in fact, what he has done is still useless!
Even his favorite male lion, called 'The King', died at the hands of a Stars and Stripes dentist last year. ” Yang Meng suddenly laughed: "Dude, you came all the way here, if there is no accident, you are here to send money, right?"
” "Send money?"
Xiao Peng sneered: "Don't worry, I have my own plans."
Let's take a look first. ” "Mr.
Xiao, we're here."
Boban, who was driving, turned around and said.
Yang Meng looked out the window and whistled: "Damn, this is an African city?"
So bustling?
” In people's minds, Africa is all about deserts, and even if there are cities, they are like small bungalows and slums, but they didn't expect it to be so prosperous and full of high-rise buildings.
Xiao Peng smiled: "Dude, where is this?"
Cape Town!
It is known as the 'mother port' of Feinan!
Don't underestimate here, more than 20 years ago, Africa was the country with the highest GDP in Africa, and it was also the only country in Africa that entered the sequence of developed countries, much richer than our China!
The former African South once balanced the southern hemisphere!
The Cape Town you see now was like this 24 years ago, and the city has hardly changed in the last 24 years. ” "Wait!"
Yang Meng was stunned: "You say that Africa is a developed country?
Don't think I'm an idiot, okay?
It's obviously a second-rate country, but it's not as high as the GDP of a province in China!
Even countries like Malaysia and the Philippines are richer than him, right!
What kind of developed country is this?
” Xiao Peng pursed his lips and said, "I've played myself to death!"
” After speaking, Xiao Peng glanced at Boban: "I'll go and get things done first, and I'll talk about it when we go back to the hotel!"
After speaking, follow Boban and go to complete the registration of passports, visas and planes.
Stayed in the hotel that Boban arranged for them.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the hotel, Xiao Peng was dumbfounded, what the hell?
There is no bath water in such a big hotel?
What the hell is this Nima?
Looking at Xiao Peng's confused eyes, Boban shrugged: "Mr.
Xiao, don't get me wrong, I really have the best hotel arranged for you, and now there is no way to do it without water."
Since 2015, Cape Town has been hit by a drought not seen in a century.

The reservoirs have dried up.
And it's the dry season in Cape Town, and it's still more than a month before the rainy season arrives.
So now Cape Town has been cut off from water.
It is the first metropolis in the world to be cut off from water!
Now that the water supply has been stopped from the taps, the public can only queue up at the designated water distribution station to get water.
Pump water here from the outside. ” Xiao Peng was completely speechless.
Alas, how did such a good country become what it is now?
