The four little babies looked at each other through the thick glass window, and the four raccoons outside looked at each other, and raised their little hands to pat the glass window while talking alien words, as if they were greeting the cute beasts outside, the scene looked full of childlike fun, showing the beauty of harmony between man and nature.

However, this heartwarming scene is actually an illusion, and if you open the door and let each other touch, the parasites and bacteria on the wild raccoons can infect the four ponies.

And Tang Jiayi also knew these raccoons, she didn't need to look at the surveillance to know that there must be flowers and plants in the yard that were plagued by them again.

After coming here, Mrs. Ma immediately exercised the authority of the hostess, organized people to dredge the pond and canal next to the villa, reintroduced the mountain spring water, planted lotus flowers and water lilies in the pond, and at the same time stocked a lot of colorful koi into it, creating a beautiful Japanese-style small pond for herself.

However, it was the existence of these small fish that attracted this group of raccoon demons.

After a few days, the small fish were only left with broken fish heads and bones, and the lotus leaves on the edge of the pond also suffered a huge blow, but fortunately, these fish were bought casually in a nearby town, and they were not a precious species, and they had not had time to cultivate feelings.

Then she has one more daily activity every day, which is to fight these pervasive raccoons. Abuse, beating, and killing raccoons are all illegal, and Vietnamese immigrants have been captured for attacking raccoons in their yards, so you have to be careful when battling these cute-looking troubles to avoid being held back by your own pig teammates.

An interesting fact is that on the one hand, human beings consciously or unconsciously emphasize their identity as the spirit of all things, and in terms of taxonomy, they have specially made a "unique courtyard" for human beings belonging to the Homo sapiens race, and at the same time, the chimpanzees, which are genetically closest to humans, are thrown into the [orangutan family] to be companions with orangutans, gorillas, gorillas, and bonobos, while on the other hand, people have "human" characteristics, such as "walking, sitting and lying like a human", "looking straight ahead with both eyes", "grasping with hands", and "being able to speak human words" of animals show additional affection and closeness.

The song pipes of birds can produce complex and varied sounds, especially the ventriloquist masters of the parrot family and starling (liáng) birds, and the traditional ornamental birds in China, the wren (black with purple or green luster all over, with a conspicuous orange lobe on the side of the head) and the starling (black all over, with obvious feathers on the forehead) are native birds from the starling family.

Of course, whether it is a parrot or a starling, their so-called "human speech" is just an unconscious imitation, and there are still hundreds of thousands of years away from the English level 8 level of the immortal parrot Polly.

As for the remaining three "human characteristics", the difficulty of achieving is much smaller, the giant panda, which can be called the king of the animal kingdom, has two skills: "looking straight ahead with both eyes" and "grasping with hands", and their most classic image is to sit on the ground like a human "with both hands" holding bamboo and gnawing and gnawing.

Many animals, including giant pandas, can be trained to achieve this in a short period of time, and some small dogs can even walk thousands of kilometers on their hind feet in a row. As for "looking ahead" is a carnivore, to be precise, it is the standard configuration of carnivorous mammals, because this can form a three-dimensional vision, which helps to judge the distance when running and hunting, and the eyes of herbivores are usually on both sides of the head to maximize the range of observation and warning, which is why rabbits will crash to death on the stump, because they have no sense of distance, and it is tragic to panic when they run in a hurry.

However, in the same way, rabbits have a well-developed sense of smell and hearing to compensate, and it is difficult to run along the smell markers in the area of normal activity, and it is difficult to have the unlucky result of hitting a tree, so it is certain that the rabbit will become a laughing stock for the ages.

In addition to a striking big face, raccoons' "hands" are also an important point of cuteness, their forepaws of the five fingers are very open to be able to grasp flexibly, so that they can go into the water to catch fish and frogs, go up to trees to steal eggs and pick fruits, and after entering human society, this "hands" also bring them a lot of convenience. Some raccoons have learned to pull the latch on a window and sneak into the kitchen to steal food, and many more have developed the habit of digging through the trash.

Many places have regulations on the compulsory classification of garbage, and the garbage bin filled with kitchen waste is obviously an excellent foraging place, and some raccoons even occupy the bin as the king to take the garbage bin as their home, and actively carry out environmental transformation, the garbage bin is transformed into more suitable for use and living. They don't care about public facilities, and these rude behaviors often lead to dumping or even damage to garbage cans, which is a big reason why North American raccoons are becoming more and more annoying.

In fact, not only raccoons, but all wild animals that enter the city will eventually become a public nuisance, even the pigeon, a symbol of peace and romance.

The pigeon whistle buzzing over the city in China is very traditional for many people, but for the neighbors of the pigeon keeper this taste is a nightmare, many pigeon breeders have transformed their balconies into pigeon lofts, and then the pigeons that enter and exit every day inevitably bring pigeon droppings and smelly noise to the surrounding neighbors, and neighborhood conflicts arise from it.

Wild and semi-wild pigeons in the square also pose a lot of environmental problems, and there are not only pigeons fluttering their wings in the pigeon square, but also pigeon droppings falling from the sky.

The pigeon is beautiful, walking and flying elegantly and leisurely, the meaning is very beautiful, so feeding the pigeon has become a very favorite activity of the young people, and the square pigeon does not take a few warm and romantic pigeon feeding photos, I am sorry to visit here.

Two years ago, after the deeds of "a star surnamed Liang flew to London to feed the pigeons in a first-class cabin when he was in a bad mood" was exposed by the media, it caused a heated discussion on the Internet, some people saw the quality of life from it, and some people saw the embarrassment of the mainland passport, but few people knew that Lao Liang actually ran thousands of miles to block the people of London.

The pigeons usually have only two eggs per litter, but the youngsters grow very quickly and can live on their own in 40 days, so they can lay eggs up to 8 times a year when they have enough food, and the fertility efficiency is amazing. Although the square pigeon is not as productive as the meat pigeon in captivity, the lack of natural predators and the comfortable conditions of regular feeding still make their population expand rapidly, especially most of the pigeon square for the purpose of creating an atmosphere to attract tourists, and will encourage or acquiesce to people to come here to feed the pigeons, but also promote the gathering and breeding of wild pigeons.

This is a pain for the managers and users of the surrounding buildings, because they have to fight against the endless supply of pigeon droppings, each pigeon can produce 10 kilograms of guano a year, these things from the sky will not only pollute vehicles and buildings, but also contain uric acid and gradually erode the stone surface of the building, especially the magnificent and beautiful marble sculptures on the ancient buildings.

Marble is a common name for limestone used in construction, and the main component is calcium carbonate. The latter can be eroded and dissolved by a variety of acids, and even rainwater and groundwater, which contain more carbon dioxide, can erode and dissolve them, as is the case with many underground caves.

Although the erosion process was very long, the embankment collapsed in the anthill, and the managers had to plan in many ways to protect these centuries-old buildings and art treasures. After all, these sculptures are both cultural treasures and money bags for them to attract tourists, and if the statue of David is covered in pigeon droppings, who will come to see it?

The pigeon used to live on the cliffs, but when they entered the city, they burrowed into the high-rise buildings that looked like cliffs, looking for cracks in the buildings to nest and lay eggs. Because of the short rectum, birds have always been typical of open defecation, so in order to prevent the building from being covered by more and more pigeon droppings, on the one hand, the manager should organize regular manual cleaning, and on the other hand, use spiked fine barbed wire to wrap the corners and gaps of the building to prevent pigeons from stopping.

The Germans once tried to cull too many pigeons, but because they were "too cruel", they were boycotted by the people and did not spread around the world.

The Germans later tried remote-controlled birds of prey, but the clever pigeons soon discovered that these unkillable birds of prey were "paper eagles", and slowly stopped birding them. What is now popular there is the "egg stealing method", which is funded by the municipal axe to set up artificial nesting sites in suitable locations to attract pigeons, and then have pigeon lovers from environmental groups steal the eggs and replace them with simulation models. With these eggs, which never hatch, the male and female pigeons naturally do not have time to lay new eggs.

There is also an American company that has developed an automatic pigeon feeding machine, which mixes contraceptive pills into pigeon food to artificially create infertile pigeons.

And a Hong Kong star feeding pigeons in Trafalgar Square in London has also tried to play the noise of pigeon removal to control the number of pigeons, but unfortunately the effect is not ideal.

It is estimated that there are more than 400 million pigeons in the world, and the pigeons in South America were originally introduced as carrier pigeons, but later spread to the wild, and are now a major hazard. Two years ago, an Argentine politician suggested that since we have so many pigeons, we might as well catch them and make them into food to improve the nutrition of the children of poor families. As a result, opposition came in a surge, and the goods also stepped down.

In short, in the face of these lovely troubles, people can neither brutally torture and kill, but also expelle them at low cost, and at the same time must not cause serious damage to the environment.

Of course, in addition to killing pigeons for meat, there is also a simple, crude and legal and humane solution, which is to "ban feeding".

For example, in order to protect the ancient buildings of the square and suppress the number of more than 10,000 pigeons in St. Mark's Square, the world's five largest pigeon squares, Venice, Italy, has specially legislated to prohibit the feeding of pigeons.

It is said that Canadians are also preparing to use this trick against the growing number of raccoons, on the one hand, encouraging the development of "anti-raccoon bins", which are thicker and more fall-resistant, and at the same time more complex to prevent raccoons from getting in, and on the other hand, some lawmakers have begun to call for legislation to prohibit citizens from feeding raccoons so that they can leave the city and return to the forest.

"In fact, in the end, it is still human beings who have caused it themselves. Australia's only large carnivore, the thylacine, was wiped out by the ranchers, and they were left to deal with the invading kangaroos themselves. Pigeons and raccoons are rampant in the city, also because there are no eagles and cougars in the city, and then it is the turn of the humans in the city to worry about how to control the number of creatures in the middle of the food chain. ”

Looking out the window, Tang Jiayi said with some emotion: "Sometimes I also think that what those extreme environmental groups say is not wrong, human beings are really like the cancer of the earth, wherever people go, the ecosystem there will be transformed into what meets human intentions, and all competing organisms will be suppressed, expelled or even eliminated, resulting in the loss of diversity and interlocking complexity of the ecosystem, which will only become more and more fragile and prone to problems." ”

Ma Jing grabbed his wife's shoulder and patted her, "Jiajia, what do you think is the difference between humans building high-rise buildings and ants building large ant nests? What is the difference between human barrage dams and beaver branch dams? Organisms naturally exchange energy and matter with the environment, and naturally have the instinct to transform the environment, but human beings have more drastic and in-depth transformation of the environment, resulting in many animals and plants not having time to adapt." ”

Tang Jiayi grabbed Atletico Madrid's hand and nodded: "Natural selection, the fittest, survival and unfit are eliminated, and human selection is also part of natural selection, I know all this." It's just that seeing them like this makes me feel a little emotional. I feel that the foreigner's idea of face protection is not as good as the protection of our country's three haves. ”

Three animals refer to the terrestrial wild animals that are beneficial and have important economic and scientific research value, which belong to the third level of official wildlife protection in the mainland, and hunting more than a certain number without permission or hunting in the hunting ban area will violate the criminal law, so in recent years, there have often been news on the Internet that people who catch frogs in the net have committed crimes and gone to prison, in fact, most of the less serious cases have been sentenced to probation, and those who are really thrown into prison are people who specialize in hunting wild animals, and they are not worthy of sympathy.

The criticism of the protection of the three animals on the Internet is mainly because the list is too large, with nearly 2,000 species, which is huge and difficult to operate, and at the same time, it is blatantly "protection-oriented by economic value", which is ridiculed for being short-sighted.

However, short-sighted, not only three, foreign countries say that the scope of protection is divided according to the number of animal populations, but the people still prefer "face protection", for example, many people speak on the Internet to call on everyone to boycott kangaroo products, and for example, buy raccoon pets, and as a result, the "bear harm" is invited home, such as Japan and European raccoons, which are specially introduced in the past, and the number of cute animals is still a disaster.
