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.
