As its owner was moving house, a pet goose was recently sent to a university in Shanghai known for its good natural environment, ThePaper.cn reported on August 13, 2018.
GuGu the goose was in the prime of its life. The owner, who could no longer care for it, asked if Shanghai Maritime University could take the goose in through China’s social networking site Weibo.
The university posted a response through their official account on Weibo, saying that they had decided to allow GuGu to join the university gaggle.

The university also forwarded an imitation “admission notice” made by a Weibo user. According to the admission notice, GuGu had been accepted to the university’s “school of ecological breeding”.
The news quickly sparked online discussion. Many people ‘liked’ photos of the goose, and a Weibo account that was specially created for the university gaggle even jokingly posted an entrance exam for GuGu.

GuGu will now be able to enjoy the university’s beautiful natural environment. The campus is close to a lake surrounded by a huge ecological wetland and a wildlife reserve, which is already home to 249 species of bird. The wetland area is an ideal place for birds to inhabit and reproduce.
Accepting GuGu is consistent with the university’s goal of creating a green, eco-friendly campus where people can live in harmony with nature, Shanghai Maritime University told ThePaper.cn.
