World's oldest giant panda in captivity dies in a Hong Kong theme park
38-year-old Jia Jia was put down after her health deteriorated
She was born in the wild in 1978 and was given to Hong Kong in 1999
Ocean Park has expressed its sadness at the animal's passing
There are fewer than 2,000 of her species left living in the wild[CN]
38岁的家家因为健康状况恶化而过世。1978年她在野外出生，1999年被赠予香港。海洋公园就熊猫的去世表达了哀痛之情。她的同类熊猫物种，如今少于2000只在野外生存。
Jia Jia's food consumption slumped from more than 10 kilogrammes a day to less than three and her weight also declined (pictured here in healthier times)[CN]
佳佳的饭量从原来的每天10多公斤下降到3公斤以下，她的体重也直线下降（如图）
In July 2015 the giant panda was presented with a towering birthday cake made from ice and fruit juice with the number 37 carved on top in her enclosure[CN]

这只圈养的最年长大熊猫在香港的主题公园以38岁之龄去世。
Jia Jia was put down today after her health rapidly deteriorated over the last two weeks, leaving her unable to walk without difficulty, a statement from the Ocean Park Hong Kong theme park said.[CN]
佳佳近两周身体状况基督恶化，于今天去世，死前她连一步都走不动了。海洋公园香港主题公园声明。
Born in the wild in China's Sichuan province in 1978, Jia Jia was given to Hong Kong in 1999 to mark the semi-autonomous city's handover by Britain two years earlier.[CN]
1978年佳佳生于四川省野外，1999年佳佳被赠予香港以铭记2年前英国移交半自治的香港市事件。
But as her health declined over recent days, her food consumption slumped from more than 10 kilogrammes a day to less than three and her weight also declined.
'Her state became so debilitated that based on ethical reasons and in order to prevent suffering, veterinarians from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department and Ocean Park agreed to a humane euthanasia for Jia Jia,' the theme park said.
'This is a day we knew would eventually come, but it is nevertheless a sad day for everyone at the Park, especially for the Park's keepers who took care of her over the years,' Ocean Park chairman Leo Kung added.
In July 2015 the giant panda was presented with a towering birthday cake made from ice and fruit juice with the number 37 carved on top in her enclosure.
Jia Jia, whose name translates as 'excellence', picked at fruit slices and bamboo around the ice cake to celebrate her big day as a record-breaking bear - becoming the oldest panda panda ever living in captivity.
There are fewer than 2,000 pandas now left in the wild, according to the World Wildlife Fund, as their habitats have been ravaged by development.
Given their low birthrate, captive breeding programmes have become key to ensuring their survival.
According to Ocean Park, Jia Jia gave birth five times to six panda cubs.
Just spent 3 hours burying my cat....little swine wouldnt stop wriggling[CN]
花了3小时来生埋我的猫...这贱种一直挣扎得不行。
The fact that its called a "theme park" instead of a zoo worries me...[CN]
这是主题公园，不是动物园就把我吓到了。
I've visited Ocean Park. The pandas actually have a decent sized enclosure with temperature control etc in place and each panda has a dedicated team looking after them, so as far as welfare goes, I think it's led a decent life TBH. They also ran educational sessions with school children about the importance of conservation, which is an invaluable lesson, so don't be too quick to judge.[CN]
我去过海洋公园了，熊猫住在挺宽敞的空间里，还有温度控制，每个熊猫都有兢兢业业的团队照料着，福利也好得很。说句实话，我觉得他们生活过得不错。他们也还教导学校的孩子保护（他们）是很重要的，这课程就很有价值，所以不要轻下结论。
I have been suffering extreme pain for the past two and a half years and it is amost impossible for me to walk without causing more pain. If anybody was to put me down, at my request, it would be murder. Why is that Mrs May?[CN]
我呢，过去两年半一直经历苦痛。我根本无法行走，剧痛阵阵。如果有人让我安乐死，照我看，那就是谋杀。为什么要这么做？May小姐。
When I was 38 there wasn't all this fuss and I'm still here[CN]
我38岁了，如果不是他们小题大做，我还活着的。
I'm sorry that we let you down by voting for Brexit, Jia Jia.[CN]
佳佳，我们对不起你。我们投了退欧票，让你伤心过世。
I remember the time i had to put my dog down.......he was too heavy[CN]
我还记得我要埋葬我的狗的时候，他太重啦。
To be honest i don't think it is the oldest panda.. Ive seen ones that look much older then this in zoos since doing my panda degree at oxford[CN]
说实话，我不觉得这是最老的熊猫。我在牛津读研熊猫学位时在动物园里看过更年老的。
I'm so sorry you had to spend your life in a theme park to fulfill humans idiotic taste for entertainment. You should have spent your life in the wild. RIP, you're in a better place.[CN]
真是伤心，你这一世就在主题公园度过，就为了满足人们娱乐的白痴嗜好。你本该生活在野外的，安息吧，你终于有了归属。
It would of more than likely of been killed. Nevermind living to 38 years old.. that's amazing. I'd love for more than anything for all animals to be left alone in the wild, but the world is a messed up place when humans kill magnificent creatures like this for sport.[CN]
更可能是被杀掉了吧。没关系了，活到38岁高龄了…真是神奇。其实我更愿意所有其他动物都独自生活在野外，但这个世界太过浑浊，人们猎杀这种重大物种，仅为运动一下。
