每日英語跟讀 Ep.K566: Cocaine Cat Found in Ohio: Wild Serval with Drugs in Its System

It's not uncommon to see a connection between drug abuse and owning exotic animals. The recent movie "Cocaine Bear" may not have received critical acclaim, but it has sparked interest as it is loosely based on a true story. Now, another real-life incident has come to light - meet Cocaine Cat.
在毒品濫用和擁有異國動物之間存在聯繫並不罕見。最近的電影《熊蓋毒》可能沒有獲得評論界的好評，但它因基於真實故事而引起人們興趣。現在，另一個真實事件浮出檯面 - 讓我們來認識一下「古柯鹼貓」。

Amiry is a male serval, a type of wild cat native to sub-Saharan Africa. However, Amiry was found in Ohio with cocaine in his system. Hamilton County Dog Wardens (HCDW), a division of Cincinnati Animal Care (CAC), rescued Amiry from a tree in Cincinnati in January. A routine drug test revealed the presence of narcotics in his system. Fortunately, Amiry's health has not been significantly affected by the drugs, but he did suffer a broken leg while trying to escape from his rescuers.
Amiry是一只雄性藪貓，是一種原產於非洲撒哈拉以南的野生貓科動物。然而，Amiry在俄亥俄州被發現體內含有古柯鹼。動物關懷組織「漢密爾頓郡狗管理員」（Hamilton County Dog Wardens，簡稱HCDW），是辛辛那提動物護理（Cincinnati Animal Care，簡稱CAC）的一個分支，這個組織於一月份從辛辛那提的一棵樹上救下了Amiry。一次例行的毒品檢測發現他體內存在毒品。幸運的是，Amiry的健康並未受到毒品的顯著影響，但牠仍然因試圖逃離救援人員時折斷的腿吃了點苦頭。

Amiry is now recovering under the care of experienced caretakers at the Cincinnati Zoo. His previous owner is reportedly cooperating with the authorities, although they may face charges related to drugs, animal cruelty, and illegal animal importation. It is clear that Amiry did not make his way from Africa to Ohio on his own, and the circumstances of his presence in Ohio are still under investigation.
Amiry現在正在辛辛那提動物園由經驗豐富的照顧者照顧下恢復健康。據報導，他的前主人正在與當局合作，盡管他們可能面臨與毒品、虐待動物和非法動物進口有關的指控。畢竟很明顯的，Amiry並不是自己從非洲來到俄亥俄州的，他在俄亥俄州的出現情況仍在調查中。

The incident involving Amiry was reported by members of the public who had spotted a "leopard" or a "large exotic cat" in a tree in the Oakley neighborhood of Cincinnati. HCDW staff arrived at the scene and realized that the animal was not a leopard, but a serval. The exact details of how Amiry ended up in the tree and broke his leg are unclear. However, it is suspected that he may have been owned illegally as servals are not allowed to be kept as pets in Ohio.
Amiry事件是由辛辛那提的Oakley社區的市民報告的，他們聲稱發現一隻樹上的「豹子」或者「大型異國貓」。HCDW的工作人員到達現場後，才發現這只動物不是豹子，而是藪貓。關於Amiry是如何爬上樹並摔斷腿的確切細節尚不清楚。然而Amiry受到懷疑是被非法擁有的，因為在俄亥俄州不允許將藪貓作為寵物飼養。

The incident has also prompted CAC to implement drug testing as a precautionary measure to ensure the well-being of animals in their care. Let's hope that this serves as a reminder to owners to be responsible and that incidents involving drugged animals can be prevented in the future.
該事件還促使CAC將藥物檢測作為一項預防措施，以確保他們所照顧的動物身體健康。希望以此提醒主人負起責任，可以杜絕未來再度發生動物下藥的事件。Reference article: https://www.oddee.com/cocaine-cat-wild-serval-found-in-ohio-with-cocaine-in-its-system-66034/
