Chapter 166: The Smallest Farm
The Australian hare population has been well controlled since the 21st century. However, in the last year, farmers along the border between New South Wales and Queensland have said that the rabbit population in their area has exploded in the last five months.
Two of Howard's sheep have starved to death, and the others are preparing to follow in their footsteps!
The leaves of Dundee's crops were not cared for, but when they were pulled out, they found that the rhizomes were gone......
Rupert's farm was even more exaggerated, and his cattle got stuck in a pit and a helicopter was dispatched to free the herd......
The farm located in the west is an area with a high incidence of rabbit plague. The farmer's surveillance showed that their biscuit-shaped cistern with a depth of 1.5 meters and a depth of 30 meters by 40 meters was drunk by rabbits within a week.
As the world's fourth largest grain exporter, the Australian people are heartbroken for the safe growth of crops and the healthy development of animal husbandry!
The government held this contest to slaughter all the rabbits.
Luo Yuanhao can only understand and understand ho.do.you.do;.in this level of English, in a certain context, he can understand a little deeper, of course, according to the other party's expression, gestures, tone and other conditions when speaking, he can understand more.
So even with translation software, it would be extremely difficult for him to understand the document.
Mr. Zhang's brother-in-law, Lu Tai, had a license to carry a gun, and he applied to the local government to lease a few shotguns and a box of ammunition......
Everyone has safety measures for themselves and their pets, safety markings, and then when the day comes, it's time to start hunting.
In fact, the hunt officially began tomorrow at noon, after the salute was fired.
The average temperature in Berkshire in February is 35 degrees Celsius and the nights are 20 degrees Celsius. Locally it reaches more than 40 degrees Celsius.
February is the dry season, the precipitation is very low, the hot weather, the Gobi Desert like the ground, the smoke is hot, so hot that people want to take off their shorts.
It's hard to imagine that in the evening, there will be herds of rabbits on the main road, and people passing by are too lazy to reach out and grab them.
And when Luo Yuanhao and the others went out, they also found that the neighborhood was full of international friends from all over the world. White, brown, yellow, and black people all gathered. They speak unheard of slang and have a large number of pet dogs in their hands, as if they are competing.
However, to Luo Yuanhao's disappointment, the largest proportion of people is white, and the least is actually yellow......
Aren't the yellow people keen on vacation hunting?
This is a notice of the competition, but it is released to the world on the Internet?
Luo Yuanhao didn't think much about it, but Zhang Wei and they went to register together. Luo Yuanhao only knew that Zhang Wei's spoken English was very good, and he couldn't hear Zhang Wei's Chinese English at all, let alone the embarrassment of Australian English. I just think that scumbags have to bring a translator when they go abroad......
The next morning, on the desert, which was desolate yesterday, there were already thousands of people.
At noon, after the leaders of the county gave a lengthy speech starting with "ladies and gentlemen", experts in the study of hares and wild dogs came to introduce the dangers of these invasive animals, especially the killing of humans by wild dogs.
Last year, a wild dog attacked a child playing on the beach, and the wild dog was killed and hung from a tree by the beach.
When this expert took out the poster, Luo Yuanhao was scared!
It turned out that the wild dog was actually a wild dog with mixed black and yellow hair! At first glance, it's exactly someone's pet dog!
Experts explain that these wild dogs are the most dangerous place for wild dogs because they mate with domestic pets, and their offspring are difficult to identify, and they are not clear about their danger!
The appearance of the Australian dingo is almost exactly the same as that of the brown-yellow Chinese pastoral dog, and one looks more wild.
But this black and yellow is completely the feeling of a domestic dog, and if such a wild dog is also a wild dog, it is really dangerous.
Experts ask that if you see a dog with a special appearance in the wild dog pack, please shoot it first! Then the experts talked about a lot of things, mainly for foreign hunters, and for the native population, there was little knowledge to popularize.
Soon, a salute rang out, followed by gunfire.
An official hunting tournament has begun! Luo Yuanhao also became a legendary bounty hunter from this moment!
There are two types of hunting competitions: demarcated range and free hunting. The method of demarcating the range of hunting is to use fences or nets to delimit the range and hunt within a limited range. Once the hunt is completed within this range, you can move on to the next area.
The local farmers and hunters, who have a lot of experience fighting rabbits, shouted to take the top 10 and set off with shotguns.
According to the locals, their hunting methods are still the same, but the hunting methods are more sophisticated.
These hunters put the weasels into the nests of the hares, which drive the rabbits out of the nests. Hunters with high interest will chase after them with various dog breeds that are good at running, such as their Gree Dog, Barley Town Dog [Dalmatian], Whippet, Posol, Pharaoh Retriever, etc.
The other part of the hunters, who are purely pursuing high efficiency, will put a net cover at the entrance of the rabbit hole, and as soon as the rabbit escapes, it will be enveloped, and never think of running away.
Zhang Wei has already started the live broadcast, and the audience and friends have also praised it.
A large number of messages and barrages make people laugh.
Luo Yuanhao roughly counted that there were about a dozen hunting methods. Just look at what hunters carry: guns, nets, dogs, ferrets [weasels, ferrets, badgers], lizards, birds of prey, foxes, lynxes......
Most hunters are direct hunting, digging, fuming, trapping, electrification, large vacuum cleaners, firecrackers, sound amplifiers......
It is said that if you are lucky, you can catch 200 hares in one night! As for the methods of large vacuum cleaners and electricity, the effect is not ideal......
There are also locals who hate these wild animals and discharge natural gas directly down the rabbit hole and then lighter them...... Rumble! After a bang, the whole rabbit hole was ruined!
This behavior reminded Luo Yuanhao and Zhang Wei of Tianmu Mountain, and the hydrogen and oxygen incendiary bombs they put also burned a litter of rabbits.
There are also farmers who drive large tractors to turn over the earth, vowing to suffocate all the rabbits on their farm underground.
Zhang Wei once asked, "Sir, how big is your family's farm?" ”
The farmer replied with a smile to the effect that "you don't need to call me sir." In fact, my house is quite small, only 100 square kilometers. The smallest farm in the vicinity......"
Zhang Wei and Luo Yuanhao were stunned on the spot.
10 km multiplied by 10 km square! This is equivalent to the size of a prefecture-level city in China! Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
