Chapter 236: The Scenic Area’s Official Response!!
At the same time, a private Weibo post by a staff member of the scenic area quickly went viral, drawing widespread attention:
Little Camel in the Desert: I work at the Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area and am also the caretaker of the camel Xiao Wu. I’ve raised Xiao Wu since it was young, and I never imagined it would go through something like this! Since the afternoon race involving a certain A-list actress Gu Yiyi, Xiao Wu hasn’t been acting normally. It’s still in a state of panic and anger, with varying degrees of injuries on its body, thighs, and hind hooves. Lacerations from whip lashes have left it bleeding along the way, with a total of 79 whip wounds/cry! As Xiao Wu’s caretaker, I’m truly heartbroken and regret agreeing to let them use Xiao Wu for the race, subjecting it to such inhumane treatment/cry/cry.
The caretaker’s Weibo contained pictures of Xiao Wu’s backside and thighs, whipped to the point of laceration, vividly bleeding and shocking.
It also had photos of a frightened Xiao Wu, along with images of its fractured hind hooves.
Soon after, updates on several other camels were also posted.
Little Camel in the Desert: This is Xiangzi, another camel ridden by a guest director, with a total of 32 whip wounds and 6 gashes, currently also receiving treatment. [Images][Images]
Little Camel in the Desert: This is Tangyuan, the camel ridden by guest Gu Zhi. It wasn’t harmed at all and even seemed to enjoy itself. It just lay down, cuddling the blanket Gu Zhi used to sleep on. @Gu Zhi, Tangyuan really likes you and hopes you can visit it more often if possible/cry/rose. [Images][Images]
The curious netizens quickly compared the camels she posted with those in the video and confirmed they were indeed the ones used by Gu Yiyi, Qi Yunlin, and Gu Zhi for the race.
When they saw Xiao Wu’s injuries, the originally curious netizens became enraged to the extreme.
"79 whip wounds? Unbelievable! @Gu Yiyi, is this what you call a few lashes?"
