The Tibetan Mastiff is native to the Himalayas. It is tall, fierce and good at fighting. It is recognized as the oldest and rarest dog breed in the world, and has the reputation of "Oriental God Dog".
In August 2018, Mobika, a New Zealand canine scientist, led a scientific expedition team to Nepal. They claimed that they came here to investigate wild purebred Tibetan mastiffs. But in the Himalayas, the expedition team was attacked by Tibetan mastiffs, resulting in heavy casualties.
A few days ago, members of the expedition team published a memoir, detailing the appalling and tragic story.
Doubtful investigation
Gould 's mentor, Mobica, is an authoritative expert on canine research in New Zealand.
In order to study and protect the wild purebred Tibetan Mastiff and make this rare breed of dog that is about to become extinct better for human use, Mobica decided to obtain the heart, liver, kidney and other internal organs from the two obtained specimens of the wild purebred Tibetan Mastiff. Organ samples, study its genetic code, and then clone a wild purebred Tibetan Mastiff.
In recent years, Gould has been following his mentor Mobica on this topic. If cloning succeeds, it will set off a far-reaching technological revolution in biology.
In order to continuously improve the plan of cloning wild purebred Tibetan mastiffs, at the end of August 2018, Gould, his mentor and three other British and American canine scientists came to the southern slope of the Annapurna Mountains, a branch of the Himalayas in Nepal. An in-depth and meticulous investigation of the Tibetan Mastiff.
The expedition lived in a small village called Fraserwin.
Gould is a handsome young man loved by his mentor. He is studious, smart, and has a very straightforward personality. He assisted the mentor to overcome several major issues and became an indispensable right-hand man in Mobica's work. Every time I go out to investigate, I always like to let him go with him, and I often discuss solutions with him when encountering problems in scientific research.
However, this field trip to Gould felt markedly different. The instructor only ordered him to do some logistical support work such as transporting inspection equipment and food, and hardly allowed him to participate in specific inspection work.
And the temporary laboratory set up in the village of Fraserwin is not filled with test-tube samples such as canine blood, hair and muscle tissue as before, but piles up many iron cages. The cages were custom-made by Gould to the villagers at a high price, allegedly to hold live specimens of wild Tibetan mastiffs that were caught.
Despite his doubts, Gould was reluctant to ask his supervisor about the details of the Tibetan Mastiff expedition. He knew that he was just a graduate student in biology who had not yet graduated, and Mobica and his three colleagues were A well-known expert in the field of canine research, in terms of knowledge level and scientific research experience, he is still relatively naive.
On the morning of the 10th day that the expedition was stationed in Fraserwin Village, Gould was busy working when he suddenly received a call from Mobica, informing him that a large wooden box stored in the temporary laboratory would be delivered to the expedition site and He was repeatedly told to avoid violent vibrations of the wooden box along the way.
Gould thought it contained fragile glass instruments, so he carefully carried it on his shoulders to the place where Mobica and others were.
But when Mobica opened the wooden box, Gould was surprised to find that there were several automatic rifles with silencers and some ammunition inside! Gould didn't understand why the mentor had sneaked these weapons, which were not sedative bullets, in a wooden box.
At noon that day, when Gould completed the task of transporting wooden boxes and was about to return to Fraserwin village, he suddenly found that several wild Tibetan mastiffs appeared near the alpine meadow at the inspection site, and one of them was a small Tibetan mastiff lying on the mother Tibetan mastiff. Sucking the nipple on the stomach, the cute look is really cute.
Seeing these little elves, a happy smile appeared on Gould's face. But the smile soon froze as he heard a few muffled gunshots.
With the gunshot, two female Tibetan Mastiffs fell to the ground. The little Tibetan Mastiff, who had not yet been weaned, didn't understand what was going on, so he crawled out from the chest of the female Tibetan Mastiff, who had fallen in a pool of blood, and let out an ooh. 's cry. Other wild purebred Tibetan mastiffs fled in a panic.
Crazy hunting
Gould recovered from his astonishment and found out that it was Hawkins, Bull and Livia from the expedition who fired the shots. Gould was almost angry, and he asked Hawkins: "Why did you shoot wild female Tibetan mastiffs? Don't you know that they are protected and rare dogs?"
At this time, Mobica came over casually, and he said lightly : "We just want to study the degree of physiological dependence of young Tibetan mastiffs after leaving their mothers. This is a research topic related to the cloning of wild purebred Tibetan mastiffs."
Gould has a vague sense of unease in his heart, Tibetan mastiffs are aggressive Very strong dogs, if they see their fellows being harmed, they will take a frantic revenge.
Back at the station that night, Gould shared his concerns with his mentor Mobica, and he also reminded the mentor that the identities of the three so-called canine scientists from the United Kingdom and the United States were questionable. does not behave like a professional scientist.
Unexpectedly, Mobica dismissed Gould's doubts. He believed that wild dogs are only likely to attack people under certain circumstances. Cub habitat, especially hungry, etc. Even a dog with a higher IQ cannot carry out a premeditated and organized revenge after being hunted down by humans.
In the early morning of the next day, the expedition team packed up and set out to the depths of the alpine meadow.
Due to the farther distance this time, Gould no longer stayed at the base camp in Fraserwin village, but moved forward with the team. His main task was still the transportation of items such as instruments and food.
In order to reduce the consumption of manpower and speed up the travel, the expedition also specially rented two mules from the villagers to carry the goods. Gould led the mule at the back of the line.
The silver moonlight illuminated the alpine meadows of the Himalayas in a poetic way. Gould did not get into the sleeping bag of the tent as early as the other expedition team members, but read Byron's poems by the flame of the bonfire. Poetry has always been one of his hobbies. When the moon was in the west, he finally felt a little tired, so he got up and went to sleep in the tent.
After an unknown time, Gould, who was in a daze, suddenly heard the constant screaming of the mules tied outside the tent. He thought it was a small reptile like a venomous snake or a blood-sucking insect that attacked the mule, so he got out of his sleeping bag, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and went outside, trying to drive away the nasty creatures who were disturbing his sleep.
When Gould stepped out of the tent, he immediately felt that things were not as simple as he thought.
Under the bright moonlight, the two mules tied outside the tent kept neighing and struggling, and he could hear a roaring sound similar to that of a lion around him. Gould is very familiar with this roar, which is the prelude to the attack of the Tibetan mastiff!
Gould immediately returned to the tent to wake up Mobica and the other three expedition members who were still asleep. When they rushed out of the tent, everyone was stunned by the terrifying scene in front of them!
The two mules had broken free, but before they could get far, they were surrounded by a group of wild Tibetan mastiffs.
Although Mobica and Gould have dealt with wild Tibetan mastiffs many times, this is the first time they have witnessed the hunting of large animals.
About a dozen wild Tibetan mastiffs made loud roars and rushed forward to prey. Some climbed on the neck of the mule and ripped its throat fiercely with sharp claws and teeth, while others hugged the mule tightly. The front and rear legs make it immobile.
Soon the throats of the poor mules were bitten off, blood spurted like arrows, and they collapsed to the ground, convulsing in agony and dying.
In less than 20 minutes, the two mules were ripped apart by the wild Tibetan mastiffs into a pile of bones.
After the consternation, Gould found that Mobica, Hawkins and others quickly became excited. They picked up automatic rifles and aimed at the wild Tibetan mastiffs and started to shoot wildly, but they tried their best to avoid hurting the young ones lying near the mother Tibetan mastiff. Tibetan Mastiff.
Gould understood their intentions. He wanted to stop them but was powerless. He could only watch the Tibetan mastiffs flying with their flesh and blood under the bullets. The brutal killing lasted for more than twenty minutes.
When cleaning the "battlefield", Gould found that there were about three or four young Tibetan mastiffs who had lost their mothers and were waiting to feed in a pool of blood. Hawkins locked them all in iron cages.
Greedy Humanity
Due to the lack of transportation means to take the young Tibetan mastiff away, Mobica decided to go back to Fraserwin village with Gould to rent mules after dawn, and then ordered Hawkins, Bull and Livia to stay in place to guard Iron cage.
On the way back, Gould, who was full of doubts, asked his tutor why he had captured so many young Tibetan mastiffs, as if it was more than necessary for scientific research. But Mobica said perfunctorily that he wanted to choose the most ideal research sample.
The two rented three mules in the village of Fraserwin, then entered the alpine meadows and returned to the place where the wild purebred Tibetan mastiffs were massacred last night.
After meeting with Hawkins and the others, the expedition trekked for more than five hours before reaching the destination.
At this time, it was not yet completely bright, and Bull and Livia silently untied the iron cage on the back of the mule to hold the wild young Tibetan Mastiff, and then, as if they were already prepared, together they carried the cage towards the covered truck. go.
Mobica gave Gould an automatic rifle, told him to wait nearby and said that he would tell him the whole story in a while, and then he and Hawkins walked away from the truck and talked quietly. what.
After a while, Mobica and Hawkins were talking louder and louder, as if they were arguing.
Then Gould heard a gunshot and saw Mobica stumbling towards where he was standing, shouting as he ran, "Gould, save me, those guys are trying to make money and kill!" Before Deer could react, a shuttle of bullets had already hit his feet, splashing clouds of dust.
Gould was completely confused by the changes in front of him, but he saw the bullets flying, and he still realized the seriousness of the situation. He kept shooting into the sky to deter Hawkins and others from shooting, in order to cover Mobica from running to him. Hiding behind the reef.
At this time, Gould learned the real inside story of the expedition in Mobica's breathless narrative.
It turned out that because the project of cloning wild purebred Tibetan mastiffs was extremely complicated and expensive, Mobica, who likes to chase fame and fortune, did not hesitate to cooperate with the international wild and rare dog smuggling organization in order to complete this plan before other biological scientists. financial support.
Wild purebred Tibetan mastiffs are endangered and rare dogs in the world. International wild dog smugglers hope to sell them to pet dealers, scientific research institutions and circuses around the world through illegal channels for huge profits. Hawkins and others are smugglers who use their identities as canine scientists. They are cruel, cunning, and insatiable. Mobica is worried that they will be murdered after successfully cooperating with them, so she brings Gould, who does not know the truth, to help.
When Mobica and Hawkins were discussing the issue of remuneration just now, who knew that Hawkins violated the agreement, not only wanted to take away the young Tibetan Mastiff, but also wanted to reduce the remuneration originally promised to Mobica. Seeing that Mobica was not cooperating, he simply refused to cooperate. Start killing...
In the misty morning light, Gould suddenly saw dozens of wild Tibetan mastiffs rushing towards them.
Gould and Mobica quickly ran to the truck that was only a dozen meters away from them. Mobica ran a little slower and was knocked down by a few Tibetan mastiffs. Gould heard the teacher's screams behind him, and as soon as he raised his hand, he pulled the trigger and knocked down the Tibetan mastiff that was biting the teacher.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Tibetan mastiffs were fleeing, Gould grabbed his mentor's left hand with all his might. The strong sense of survival made him dare not even turn his head back. With the last of his strength, he carried the instructor into the cab, and then quickly closed the doors and windows.
At this time, Gould dared to look outside. He saw a shocking and bloody scene. Dozens of wild Tibetan mastiffs with bullet holes all over their bodies swarmed up, madly biting Hawkins, Bull and Livia and the driver. They have been completely destroyed by the frantic attack of the Tibetan Mastiff and died of breathlessness, and the iron cages in which the young Tibetan Mastiff was held have been bitten open, and the young Tibetan Mastiff has long since escaped without a trace.
Gould drove a truck to flee the land of right and wrong for a long time, but he did not regain his senses for a long time. There were always tragic scenes of people and wild Tibetan mastiffs killing each other, and the repeated gunshots echoed in his ears. Like a sobering lament, it tells the selfishness, ignorance and ruthlessness of those greedy people whose humanity has been distorted by money!
