China is flooded with wild boar, and the war between people and pigs is constantly being staged! What should we do with so many wild boars?

"The peasants worked hard for a year, but the wild boar was eliminated overnight."

"I dare not fight, and I can't prevent it."

On October 6th, 2002165438/KLOC-0, Xinhuanet reported that a rural area in North China was flooded with wild boar, which caused great harm to spring maize sowing. Moreover, wild boar still protects animals, and the villagers are helpless. Some villagers even refused to grow grain, preferring to abandon the land and go out to work!

Isn't it a big joke that China is flooded with wild boar?

We have been watching the proliferation of wild boar camels all over the world, such as the Asian carp Burmese python in the United States, the hairy crab in Europe and so on. We never thought that one day in our own country, there would be a flood of wild boar. There are so many people in China that one person can eat all the wild boars. How could it be flooded?

How did wild boar spread in China?

Modern domestic pigs were domesticated by wild boar more than 8000 years ago. Although domestic pigs are a subspecies of wild boar, there is no reproductive isolation between them, so there are still ways to improve the quality of domestic pigs through hybridization of wild boar.

There are 2 1 subspecies of wild boar distributed in China, including Wusuli wild boar in northeast China and South China wild boar in north China. Different from European wild boar, South China wild boar is heavier and has shorter tusks, but there is no essential difference in breeding mode, speed and environmental adaptability.

The gestation period of wild boar is 1 14 days, and a fetus can give birth to about 12 piglets at most, and can reproduce twice a year. Therefore, the reproductive efficiency of wild boar is extremely high, just like the wild boar flooding in Canada in the 1968+0980 s. The Canadian authorities introduced European wild boar to improve the meat quality and increase the meat content, resulting in 65438.

In order to reduce the attraction of hunting, domestic pigs and wild boars are put on semi-open farms for hunting. As a result, the boar ran into the wild. The authorities originally thought that these wild boars would freeze to death because they could not adapt to the cold climate in Canada, but the result was just the opposite. Wild boars not only live well, but also flood in the end!

The rise of wild boar in China

In the era of lack of materials, both muntjac and badger, wild boar and pheasant were high-quality protein sources, so there were several hunters in every village that year, and the author's uncle was a hunter with a very good marksmanship. He visits relatives in his house every New Year, and rabbits and muntjac can always be eaten.

During the twenty years from 1980s to 1990s, wild boar or other wild animals were rarely heard in the wild, but later guns, including soil guns and air guns, were banned, which was really necessary for these policies, because at that time, incidents such as shooting birds with air guns and accidental injuries with shotguns emerged one after another.

Later, because of closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation, the protection of wild animals was strengthened and the ecological environment was improved. In the past ten years, it is reported that wild animals began to return, birds returned to the mountains, and wild boar began to haunt the forest. Of course, this is a symbol of harmonious ecology.

A hidden danger spreads in it!

Wild boar breeds too fast! Villagers in Zhoutian Town, Renhua County, Shaoguan City said that wild boar appeared in the surrounding forests more and more frequently. In recent years, whenever the crops are ripe, groups of wild boars will come to the fields to eat anything like corn, rice and peanuts. Wild boar is an omnivore and never picky eaters. According to Kuang Farong, a villager in Lingxi Village, Zhoutian Town, wild boars are very aggressive and only dare to knock them away from a distance, hoping to make some noise.

Not only in Guangdong, but also in the mountainous areas of Zhejiang Province, the prevalence of wild boar is also very serious. According to statistics, in 20 10, the number of wild boar reached 10,000, and wild boar appeared on the map, as well as wild boar in Nanjing, which is located in the hilly area with lush trees. This is really surprising. According to statistics, there are wild boar flooding in Hunan, Anhui, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hebei and other places.

Wild boar broke into residential areas: staged a war between people and pigs

The proliferation of wild boar not only destroyed crops, but also broke into residential areas, posing a serious threat to life and property.

One of them was seriously injured, with a comminuted fracture of his wrist, more than 10 bites on his head, waist and legs, and two lacerations about 20 cm long on his thigh.

Wild boar belongs to the list of terrestrial wild animals protected by the state, which is beneficial or has important economic and scientific research value. You can't hunt without authorization, you can only hunt in the name of a hunting team organized by the local government. However, young people are unwilling to perform dangerous jobs because they have not been hunted for many years and lack experienced hunters. Of course, the biggest problem comes from gun management, and the establishment of hunting teams in many areas is basically at a standstill.

As early as 2006, Science Network reported that Heilongjiang approved Jixi to hunt wild boar 100. This case is the first legal case of hunting wild boar since wildlife protection in China. At that time, it caused an uproar. Many wildlife conservation enthusiasts once advocated "stopping hunting wild boar", but it is obvious that wild boar has changed from the initial protection of animals to flooding in the past decade.

So is our policy flexible? There is no doubt that 2006 is a watershed, but Rome was not built in one day, so it is very difficult to protect wild animals, but it is even more difficult to control rampant wild animals in a controllable range, because many control methods are no longer applicable. For example, people in most parts of China have no hunting tradition, so where can hunters find it?
