He believes that the government should try to test the hamsters concerned, and return the hamsters after getting the results, which is a more reasonable and humane approach. It may be infected, and it is estimated that it will not be able to save its life. After seeing the news yesterday, I reposted the relevant news to my son many times, hoping that he can understand the risk that hamsters may bring. My wife stayed at home and tried to comfort my son, telling him about the future epidemic After that, I bought another hamster for him, but his son's words also made him feel uncomfortable, "When he talks to me, a hamster is a life, and if I buy another one, it doesn't matter. How do I deal with him?"
Mrs. Ye handed over the hamster "Cangcang" that she bought with her daughter last Sunday to the fishing and nursing department. She said that yesterday she struggled many times whether to return the hamster, but she found on the Internet that "Cangcang" and the hamster in the accident belonged to the same batch It was kept in the same warehouse and was worried about infection. After testing it this morning, I had no choice but to send it away. "The government has not made it clear whether they have to bring them all over, but we saw that they were all sent from Tai Po. In the past, I am worried that it will spread to us, and if we pass on Zuo to other people, it will be troublesome then."
She also said that because her husband has a lot of people in the company, it would be troublesome to check every two days because it was a very difficult decision. The more I see him, the more reluctant I am. The girl wants to shout for a night, so I can only broadcast the news for her to watch and explain to her." My daughter also knows that the hamster will not come back after leaving the house. The grain was placed next to the "Cangcang", and the note "I love Cangcang, I love you" was written as a final farewell. Mrs. Ye said frankly, "The more I look at it, the more I can't bear it, it's so sad." Thinking that the government needs to learn a lesson, It is true that after this batch of hamsters, they should be checked for them, not all of them.
