China captured Japanese temple 500,000 USD because it left the panda dead

Panda Kou Kou while alive

Panda Kou Kou died on September 8 because his heart stopped beating after being anesthetized at Oji zoo, west of Kobe port city. The veterinarians gave the anesthetic to the 14-year-old male bear to calm down, as part of a conception program for female Tan Tan. The doctor tried to get Kou Kou's semen after he died.

The Chinese Forest Department has asked the Japanese park to seal animal corpses and send a group of experts to the country for investigation and Chinese national media.

Chinese experts believe that the panda Kou Kou died of an overdose of anesthetic and was questioning why Japanese veterinarians took bear's sperm when it was not the mating season, reported Oriental Morning Post. .

According to the China Wildlife Conservation Association, the country has signed a breeding deal with Japan, which includes a $ 500,000 compensation clause if a panda dies.

Large pandas, which are highly endangered in China, are known for their low fertility.

Kou Kou's death occurred after Ueno Zoo in Tokyo reached an agreement in July about receiving a pair of pandas from China, according to the agreement amounting to nearly $ 1 million a year in the next decade. This money will be used to protect wildlife in China.

Currently, only 1,600 pandas live wild. Nearly 300 other children currently live on a global feeding program, mainly in China, official statistics reports from Beijing said.
