Chapter 744: I Don't Feed Cats, I Feed Raccoon Dogs
Wang Yan frowned, and while taking a video, he greeted a big brother next to him who was watching the excitement: "Who put this cat food?" How can you feed it like that? ”
The eldest brother said, "I fed it, what's wrong?" ”
Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, it turned out that the main lord was by my side!
Stunned, he said: "Feed it like this, this cat food has been eaten by raccoon dogs, and this raccoon dog is going to overflow." ”
The eldest brother said: "I don't feed cats, I just feed raccoon dogs." I think raccoon dogs are cuter than cats. ”
He asked, "People can feed stray cats, why can't I feed raccoon dogs?" ”
Wang Yan explained: "Whether you feed stray cats or raccoon dogs, it is not good behavior......
Like these young raccoon dogs, when they can leave the nest, they will follow their parents to learn how to survive, find food, and hide from humans, and after weaning, the young raccoon dogs who are not deeply involved in the world will be expelled from the house, reduce the burden of the family, and begin to embark on strange roads, go to unknown areas to live independently.
In this process, most individuals will die due to hunger, disease, natural predators, bad weather, traffic accidents, and only a few excellent individuals who have mastered skills and are healthy and strong will survive.
We observed that the ratio of young raccoon dogs to adult raccoon dogs in the community is basically 5:1, and basically every newborn raccoon dog survives, which is very abnormal.
As long as the raccoon dog eats cat food, it does not need to learn other survival skills to survive, so that they completely lose their ability to survive independently and will not be able to survive in the wild environment.
Moreover, wild animals need to migrate to find new habitats, determine their territory before wintering and breeding, and feeding points will make them lose their normal movement patterns, lose their ability to migrate and reproduce, and the overall viability of the raccoon dog population will also have a serious decline. ”
Fang Ye said: "Originally, raccoon dogs were timid and shy animals, and they were indeed very cute, but after receiving feeding, they were no longer afraid of humans, and even increased their aggression and aggression, as is the case with the monkeys in Mount Emei."
Normal raccoon dogs fight and bite like this every day, and there may be outbreaks of infectious diseases when the number increases, which is a mechanism of natural regulation.
Raccoon dogs are canines, theoretically they can carry the rabies virus, and if the number is widespread and they develop aggression towards people, they may be disposed of, and they need to bear the mistakes made by people.
Feeding them is well-intentioned, but it can actually harm them. ”
Although some people discouraged him from feeding before, he never made the reason so clear.
The eldest brother felt that he was giving love, and he was reluctant to dissuade him, but he had a kind of rebellious mentality, and he didn't let me feed me!
Hearing these consequences, he was not as straightforward as he was at the beginning, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly in the dark, but he seemed to be a little embarrassed, and muttered in a low voice: "Okay, I'll pay attention in the future." ”
Leaving the feeding point, Fang Ye sighed: "Today is really an eye-opener, there are people who feed stray cats and dogs, and there are people who like raccoon dogs to feed raccoon dogs!" ”
In addition to infrared cameras, some cages are also arranged in the community.
Raccoon dogs that are greedy for food step in, are caught and tied to a GPS locator to record their movements.
In the next period of time, I investigated and visited the communities where raccoon dogs were flooded.
It is still a bit difficult for them to fully investigate the distribution of raccoon dogs, so they also launched a campaign on the official account, inviting citizens to see the information of raccoon dogs and share them.
When I surveyed the residents, I heard a variety of different voices, and the reaction of people to the raccoon dog was very complicated.
There was an old grandmother who raised flowers by herself, and the raccoon dog dug a hole and ran to the small garden and ate all the flowers, and the old grandmother was quite happy.
Some citizens live in small villas, and the raccoon dog dug hole after hole under the villa, intending to poison the raccoon dog, this dangerous idea was of course discouraged.
Some residents live on the ground floor, and they listen to the raccoon dog very noisy every night, and if they want to go to bed early, they are often woken up, so they hate the raccoon dog very much, while the residents who live in the upper floors can't hear the noise of the raccoon dog, and their attitude is much milder.
Some residents have children or want to walk their dogs, and they will come out for activities, so they are very disgusted with raccoon dogs, and they don't care if they order takeout and play games at home.
I encountered a fierce quarrel among the residents because of feeding.
"If you want us not to feed it, doesn't your conscience hurt! Wild animals are precious, but the lives of cats and dogs are not fateful. Do you know what the lifespan of a stray cat is! Have you ever seen a good stray cat caught and abused, with its ears cut off and its eyes gouged out, you don't know it at all! I look forward to the death of stray cats every day! I advise you to be kind, animals are extinct, and people are not far away! ”
"The concept of stray cats is stupid and bad, why don't you say that there are stray lions in Africa and stray giant pandas in Sichuan."
"Are people only allowed to live on the earth, and stray animals are not worthy to live? Are stray animals all the way to the end? If you oppose us feeding stray cats and dogs, you can experience it without eating and starving for a few meals. ”
"Saying that you only feed cats and don't feed raccoon dogs, how do you ensure that every grain of cat food goes to the cat's mouth? Please bring it back and raise it if you like it. ”
"Love is overflowing, why don't you bring your stray cat owner home and offer it? What are the benefits of sprinkling some cat food every day to satisfy cheap self-interest? Waste of public resources in the community, make a miasma, a smell in the bushes, cats bark one after another at night, what kind of virgin is here, phew! ”
There are more raccoon dog communities to prey on stray cats, like a fuse, cat lovers, cat haters, cat haters, cats hate, cats hate, different groups of people have fierce opposition.
In Wang Yan's words, the essence of the world is diversity, biology is diverse, people are also diverse, and it is normal for different people to grow up in different environments and have different thinking.
Of course, some people's views still make them sigh that there is a long way to go in the work of popularizing science.
It's normal for people to think differently, but of course, it's up to a professional to guide you on what to do.
After conducting an investigation, it is recommended that the community property and the neighborhood committee urge the residents to stop all feeding behaviors, no matter what they are feeding.
The neighborhood committee has recently been complained about the raccoon dog and is also very distressed, and it does not dare to hurt the raccoon dog, so after getting the suggestion, it implemented strong measures.
When you stop feeding, the results are immediate!
After only a few days, the young raccoon dogs no longer chase people for food, and the raccoon dogs in the community are much quieter at night.
During this time, raccoon dogs are still in the nursery period, disturbing them may cause the cubs to die unexpectedly, so prepare to wait until two months when the raccoon dogs grow up and have the ability to be independent, and the number of raccoon dogs in the community is still relatively large and transferred to the wild.
In the process of this investigation, Fang Ye also came up with many ideas for the construction of the urban animal exhibition area.
