Chen Teh-ho explains that twenty years ago, techniques to treat this kind of disease were still very backward. The zoo used a "rough-shod" approach. They hobbled Linwang's feet and tied every part of his body with rope. Then they directly pierced the afflicted area with tools, performing electrotherapy and applying medicine.
陳德和說，二十多年前，相關的醫療技術還相當落後，動物園於是來「硬」的，將林旺拴上腳鐐、五花大綁，把工具直接插入患部做電療及上藥。
