Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, this is not Peterson's horse, where did this horse come from?

He hurriedly narrowed the heart of the beast field, and sure enough, a herd of horses appeared in the beast field at this moment, the black horse from before was the first horse, and there were about a dozen horses scattered around. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

These horses are by no means bred in captivity, they have no signs of human beings on them, they are either too narrow or too short to be a good choice for horse racing, there are no reins around their necks, and there are no hooves to play horseshoes.

Obviously, this is a mustang......

Seeing this herd of wild horses, he didn't care about morning exercise and breakfast, washed and wiped up, drove to the beast farm, and then called Peterson: "Man, do you know that we have some wild horses here?" ”

Peterson had just finished delivering a cow at the pasture when he stroked the calf with one hand and the phone in the other, and said, "What herd of wild horses?" Horses, you say? My horse is by my side. ”

"Then you'd better hurry up to this side of China Road, well, cross through your position and see me."

After more than ten minutes, Peterson stood beside him, and then accompanied him to watch the horses running freely in the beast field.

Little King, Zhuangding, Queen, Rottweiler and Malamute all came to the beast farm, and when they saw these horses, they were not surprised, and continued to play with themselves.

So Wang Bo knew that the wild horses had not just arrived, they might have arrived two or three days ago, but they had been in the depths of the beast field, and Wang Bo had not seen them, and had not noticed them.

The wild horses were particularly vigilant, and when they spotted someone, they migrated east of the beast and hid behind a hill.

"These, they're wild horses, right? Are there wild horses in New Zealand? Wang Bo asked.

"Yes, in the middle of New Zealand's North Island, there's a land called Taal Plateau, where a lot of wild horses live. The Taal Plateau is a military land, inaccessible to ordinary people, and has plenty of water and grass, making it a paradise for wild horses, which is said to have exceeded 1,100 according to estimates by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. ”

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and searched for relevant information for Wang Bo, these wild horses are very famous in New Zealand.

On the news, photojournalists and tourists often fly by helicopter over the plateau - it is funny to say that the Thar plateau imposes military control, but only people are not allowed to set foot on the land without permission, regardless of whether anyone intrudes into the airspace.

There are many pictures of these wild horses galloping on the Internet, which are very spectacular, with hundreds of horses at every turn, and when they gallop together, Wang Bo can't help but think of the scene where the Simmental herd chases the white yak.

However, it is not a good thing for wild horses to be famous, and when they came to attention, they attracted the attention of New Zealand's environmental protection department.

Judging from the news, last year, the New Zealand environmental protection department sent experts to conduct a study and found that the number of wild horses is too large, which has posed a threat to the ecological environment of the plateau.

There are more than 10 kinds of rare grasses on the plateau, which are being eaten and trampled by wild horses, and some wild horses run on the highway of the plateau, causing traffic accidents.

Wang Bo was very strange and asked, "Why are there wild horses in New Zealand?" These horses don't swim, do they? I know they can swim, but can they travel as long distances as leatherback turtles? ”

"No, no, the ancestors of those wild horses came from farms near the Taal Plateau, some escaped, some were abandoned, and after several generations of breeding, they became real wild horses," Peterson explains. ”

Wang Bo said: "Wild horses are good things, isn't there anyone to take them away?" You can choose to breed a horse for racing or farming. ”

Peterson stretched out his hands helplessly and said: "Boss, it's not that simple, wild horses are full of wildness, difficult to tame, and it is impossible to train them into usable domestic horses." As for horse racing? Come on, these mustangs don't have a racehorse pedigree, and they're going to be dizzy! ”

"And where did our horses come from? Don't tell me you came from the Taal Plateau. ”

Wang Bo was convinced that these horses were attracted by the heart of the beast field, but the heart of the beast field could not radiate far away, such as in the town, and those dogs and cats were not attracted.

There are no real wild horses in New Zealand, only second-generation wild horses that have been returned to their ancestors, and other local governments do not protect these wild horses because they are an invasive species, except for the fact that the Thar Plateau is a military forbidden area.

Horses are a good thing, even if they can't be domesticated, then they can eat meat, horse meat is not delicious, but it's not that they can't be eaten, and it's a pleasure for hunters to hunt a tall horse.

Therefore, except for the Taal Plateau, there is not much chance of wild horses appearing in other places.

"Perhaps, they are the descendants of horses from some farm or family?" ”

New Zealand is a country that loves horses, there are many families who raise horses, the purpose of raising horses is to take horses as companions, which can be ridden by adults or children, or to train racing horses, if you can raise a winning racehorse, you can also gain fame and fortune, New Zealand has won gold medals in the equestrian events of the Olympic Games.

However, raising horses is a very expensive hobby, first of all, there must be a large open space for horse activities, and horse owners who live in the city must foster their horses on farms in the countryside.

The horse's staple food is grass, not weed, pasture is very expensive, and in addition to feeding some wheat, cereal, corn flour, occasionally taking it to the veterinarian, repairing the horse's hooves, and hiring experts to train, these costs all add up to a lot.

What should I do if I can't afford it? The first option is to sell, but the horse is not a dog or a cat, and this thing does not have a certain economic strength and love, so it cannot be played, so the chance of changing hands is very small.

In this way, there are only two ways to dispose of horses, one is to slaughter them, and the other is to secretly release them into the wild, anyway, New Zealand is a vast and sparsely populated area, and some of the wild areas are the living quarters of horses.

Slaughtering is unrealistic, in New Zealand, pets are a member of the family, let alone killing their own pets, even killing some animals they don't know.

For example, the cat abuse case in Sunset Town caused a sensation in New Zealand.

In another example, wild horses are raging on the Taal Plateau, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection has decided to hire gunmen to shoot them. After the news was announced, it immediately aroused the opposition of many horse lovers, who took collective action to protest on the highways of the plateau, and after the news media broadcast, it attracted the attention of more people, according to public opinion polls, most people opposed the shooting of wild horses, and the ruling authorities were concerned about public opinion, because public opinion is the vote, and did not dare to disobey, so they asked the Ministry of Environmental Protection to suspend the hunt.

Strange horses are treated like this, let alone their own family? So they tend to be released.

Peterson speculated that this was where the horses came from. (To be continued.) )
