The "human-pig war" was controversial and was sentenced for hunting wild boar. Have you ever seen the horror of hunting wild boar?

I've seen the horror of hunting wild boar. Before that, I hadn't seen wild boar in my hometown for at least 20 years. Because young people basically go to cities to work and settle down, most of them stay in the mountains, and they are helpless or even afraid of these sudden wild boars. I believe that friends who like to watch the news know that the number of wild boar in the news has increased significantly in recent years, frequently appearing in rural areas, destroying farmers' crops, fruits and vegetables.

In Tongjiang county, there have been more than 700 compensation cases caused by wild boar destroying crops. Not only in rural areas, wild boars also began to appear in cities and wander around. For example, in Dazhou, a group of wild boars were photographed wandering in the street at night, while in Nanjing, Jiangsu, I don't know how many times wild boars broke into the campus and community.

A wild boar once broke into a street shop in Nanjing, and the local police gave it four injections of anesthetic before carrying it out. In the last century, China was able to hunt wild boar, and because wild boar destroyed crops, China once carried out a campaign to hunt wild boar for a period of time. In 1990s, China realized that the number of wild boar was too small, and even disappeared in many places because of too much hunting and large-scale development and utilization of mountain forests.

This is not conducive to the balance and integrity of the ecological chain, so while returning farmland to forests, wild boar became a protected animal in 2000, and it is forbidden to kill it without permission. Compared with other rare animals, wild boar has strong reproductive ability and adaptability, and can give birth to eight to ten animals twice a year. Therefore, after being listed as a protected animal, the wild boar population that had gradually disappeared began to recover rapidly.

Only after 20 years, more than 654.38+000 million wild boars have appeared on domestic land, including hundreds of thousands in Zhejiang and Heilongjiang provinces. There are more than 20,000 heads in Tongjiang County mentioned above, far exceeding the reasonable density. These data are still conservative estimates.

The state forbids hunting wild boar, and the reason why hunting wild boar is sentenced is that the state forbids hunting wild boar with traps and electric shocks. After all, these methods will not only injure other wild animals by mistake, but also pose a threat to people who don't know the specific location. At the same time, they haven't applied for shotguns, so the local town's own hunting team can only adopt the siege method, that is, relying on manpower and hounds to surround the wild boar and then chop it to death.

Before, the local township team once besieged a wild boar, until the hand was cut off, and the wild boar did not die. Instead, it ran away with injuries, and it took the team seven days to find its body. Not only that, the action team brought 20 hounds and killed and injured 8.

As can be seen from the experience of these hunting teams, the fighting capacity of wild boar is really strong. No wonder some places even discuss with tigers and bears. The weight of an adult wild boar easily exceeds 150 kg, and many of them can grow to more than 200 kg and then grow sharp fangs, so even a dead wild boar needs several people to lift it, let alone be alive.

To sum up, wild boar has a large appetite. An adult wild boar can eat dozens of kilograms of crops at a time, and also likes to roll in the mud, which will double the damage to crops. At the same time, once he feels dangerous, he will lose control and collide everywhere. In the traditional siege method, once you encounter a big and courageous wild boar, it is very likely that someone will be injured.

Some people say that the rampant wild boar often conflicts with humans because humans have invaded their habitats. I personally don't think so. There are fewer and fewer people in the mountains now. Most of the young people have gone to the city, and the elderly are gradually brought into the city by their children. Many houses are idle, not to mention fields, and I don't know how much they have been abandoned.

Because no one cuts wood for cooking, the ferns on the mountain grow very high and can't get in. They used to run around in the Woods. Just ask, most places are like this. After all, there is no future in farming in the mountains all your life. This is obviously a situation in which pigs enter the pig and retreat.

Anyone who knows a little about wild boar knows that wild boar, as a social animal, is actually very smart. Once they have tasted the sweetness of human crops, they will stay nearby and come out to feed regularly according to human planting rules, so it is a long-term hazard.

Wild boar also knows how to deal with humans. When they are in groups, they will hardly provoke humans. You only panic when you are alone. Moreover, they are very adaptable to some driving means such as setting off firecrackers, putting scarecrows, playing music and voice, and will not be scared for a few days. At this time, there may be foodies who say that as long as they let go of their hands and feet, they can be eliminated in a few days.

This plan is obviously not feasible now. On the one hand, the fighting capacity of wild boar is beyond the reach of ordinary people, so it is very dangerous for ordinary people to hunt wild boar themselves. On the other hand, wild boar carries a variety of germs, which are easy to be infected if eaten at will.

After "SARS" and COVID-19, China formulated stricter regulations, expanding the scope of total fasting of wild animals to "terrestrial wild animals with important ecological, scientific and social values" and other terrestrial wild animals, including artificially propagated and artificially raised terrestrial wild animals.

Therefore, even these wild boars killed by hunting teams can't be eaten. But to be buried deep underground, and lime should be sprinkled in the process of burial, just to prevent possible virus incidents. At present, there is no doubt that the problem of wild boar flooding needs to be dealt with urgently, so Sichuan Province has also become one of the pilot projects in the country, and it has started to hunt and kill in a planned way, sum up its experience and promote it to the whole country.

It is so difficult to kill wild boar that how to control its number effectively and safely is a difficult problem. Professional hunting teams are all killed by one shot, and only one province is sure to be too busy. It is worth discussing whether to set up more professional hunting teams to go to the countryside regularly, or to train, examine and issue certificates to local people who are interested, as in the west, and organize round-ups regularly every autumn.
