High deformity, high mortality of young birds and illness often occurred among the artificially bred birds, which may cause degeneration.

We are planning to send out another 12 artificially bred ibis next month to get more experimental data.

The nine ibis sent back to the wild on October 16, 2004 have smoothly adapted to the natural environment and have been mingling with wild ones.

It causes severe illness and high mortality rates.

That rate of mortality and illness is absolutely unconscionable.

Whatever condition we are in, we must always do what we want to do, and if we want to go on a journey, then we must do so and not worry about our condition, even if it's the worst possible condition, because, if it is, we're finished anyway, whether we go on the journey or not, and it's better to die having made the journey we're been longing for than to be stifled by our longing.
