Wild animal flooding incidents now occur frequently, crayfish, Fushou snail, sunfish, American white moth, etc. have been a large number of disasters, but if an alien species can be used as food, want to flood in our country full of food, it is really quite difficult to do a little road, crayfish is a lesson for the past.
However, in a county in the northeast of Sichuan, there is an aggressive and strange thing: the number of wild boars in the county will reach more than 20,000 in 2020, these wild boars do not know how to eat and sleep like domestic pigs, but they go around wreaking havoc and causing huge losses, so they have to carry out planned hunting, but they did not expect that the combat value of wild boars is particularly high, and it is quite difficult to hunt.
Will pigs also flood?
This is really strange! Wild boar is also a pig, as a pig full of meat, can make such a big move in Sichuan, which is famous for its cuisine, it really subverts the imagination of Centaur Jun, what is the reason for this? Why are so many wild boars not eaten as "Dongpo meat"?
This incident occurred in Tongjiang County, Bazhong City, Sichuan Province, and you can hear from the name of the county that the environment here is good, and the actual situation is the same. Tongjiang County is located in the northeast of Bazhong City, at the gap of Daba Mountain in the southern foothills of the eastern section of Micang Mountain, belonging to the middle and low mountainous areas, the county has 300,000 hectares of forest land, and the forest coverage rate is as high as 64.97%.
Tongjiang County is densely forested
Such a privileged natural environment, coupled with conservation policies, makes this a paradise for wildlife, of which wild boars are one of them. Everyone should be familiar with wild boars, and a large number of literary works and folklore have their presence. Wild boar, also known as mountain boar, scientific name Eurasian wild boar, is a fairly advanced mammal, but also the ancestor of modern domestic pigs.
The history of wild boars dates back more than 40 million years and is now widely distributed throughout Eurasia, as well as parts of North Africa and North America. As a medium-sized mammal, wild boar weight can reach 90 to 200 kg, not counting the tail length of up to 1.5 to 2 meters, China's northeast and Russian Far East wild boar can grow to nearly 400 kg.
Wild boars can also survive in cold regions
They are very strong, very different in size from domestic pigs, with large heads and front bodies, noses and mouths protruding forward like a cylindrical shape, and the back half of the body being smaller. Dark brown or black, the boar's fur is divided into two layers, the top layer is a harder bristle, the bottom layer is soft fine hairs, and the back is covered with hard and sparse needle hairs.
Wild boars have canine teeth (fangs), and the boar's fangs are constantly growing, with an average length of 6 centimeters and an exposed mouth, which can be used as a weapon and excavation tool, which is very fierce. The fangs of the sow are not exposed. They are omnivores, eating everything, predominantly plant-based food, and often plunder crops, with a strong ability to adapt to the environment, from forests to grasslands, from semi-arid regions to humid tropics.
The difference in the size of wild boars and domestic pigs
Wild boars move in flocks of 6 to 20, mostly sows and piglets, and occasionally individual boars. They have many natural enemies, the most powerful of which is the tiger, which is the expert at hunting wild boars, and other wolves, bears, leopards, lynx and so on. However, even if they are as powerful as tigers, they will not easily attack adult boars, because their combat power is too strong.
The wild boar is strong and strong, and the skin is thick, it can run continuously for 15 to 20 kilometers, and the speed of running at full speed can reach more than 50 kilometers per hour, and Bolt may not be able to run through it. It also has a nose with an extremely sensitive sense of smell and is very sensitive to danger. The wild boar strikes at high speed, and the sharp fangs are extremely lethal, and even the sow with smaller canine teeth bites it very hard. Therefore, predators such as tigers and wolves are cautious when hunting wild boars, and are more inclined to attack the old, weak, sick and disabled who have fallen alone.
Tigers prey on wild boar
Nowadays, the number of wild animals in China has decreased sharply, tigers in Sichuan have disappeared without a trace, wolves and leopards are extremely rare in densely populated areas, and the natural enemies of wild boars have been greatly reduced.
According to villagers and cadres in Tongjiang County, wild boars often descend the mountain in July and August, nibble corn, arch sweet potatoes, and attack villagers. Since April 2021, 707 cases of villagers' claims related to wild boars have been filed in the county, posing a serious threat to the lives and property safety of the masses. Therefore, the county has formulated the "Work Plan for The Prevention and Control Points of Wild Boar Hazards in Tongjiang County", which plans to kill 750 wild boars by the end of 2021, no more than 2 per square kilometer.
Some netizens will ask: Isn't a wild boar a protected animal? How can it still be hunted? Originally, the wild boar really did not belong to the national first- and second-level protected animals, but it was included in the "List of Beneficial or Important Economic and Scientific Research Value Of National Protection of Terrestrial Wild Animals", that is, the "three haves" protected animals, and it is also illegal to hunt and eat meat without authorization. However, if a threat is indeed created, planned killings can be carried out after approval.

Some friends may wonder: there are more than 20,000 wild boars in a county, will it be too few to kill only 750? In fact, this is still not a deep understanding of the explosive combat effectiveness of wild boars. Even 750 wild boars are not so easy to fight, and it costs a huge price!
If you fight physically, an adult is basically unable to fight an adult wild boar, and it is likely that his life is in danger. Even if you have a gun in your hand, it is not easy to hit a fast running wild boar, and even if it is hit, it is difficult to guarantee a shot to kill, and the wild boar rushes over. Professional hunting teams generally carry multiple hounds, rely on the dog's sense of smell and mobility to surround the wild boar, and then kill it with weapons.
Hounds chase wild boars
According to "Cover News", on November 6, 2021, a professional hunting team from Mianyang Jiangyou came to Yuanshanzi Village, Zhicheng Town, Tongjiang County, which is the only professional team in Sichuan Province with a gun license. Four armed hunters took 7 hounds and killed 8 wild boars in two days, which seems to be a good result, although it does not seem to be much.
Because in December 2020, Tongjiang organized a centralized hunt, more than 10 people brought more than 20 hounds into the mountain, only two were killed in 3 days, but there were 8 hounds casualties, and there was also a downed wild boar "dead and resurrected", and rushed to the danger of the team members. Even with excellent hunting dogs and guns, the risk of killing wild boars is very high, and on November 11, the aforementioned professional team fought fiercely with wild boars in The territory of Beichuan in Mianyang, and an imported hound worth 60,000 yuan was unfortunately killed.
The hunting team catches wild boar
Many people on the Internet are very interested in the whereabouts of these hunted wild boars, after all, wild boars are also wild meat, and many people have a fascination with wild meat, so they will not hesitate to risk breaking the law. Privately sold wild boar meat has indeed been heard, and the price is not cheap. So can the dead wild boar eat it, is it good to eat?
In fact, foodies who want to use wild boar meat to make "Dongpo meat" may be disappointed! Wild boars have a high lean meat rate, 50% lower fat content than domestic pigs, contain 17 kinds of amino acids and a variety of trace elements, and the linoleic acid content is 2.5 times higher than that of domestic pigs. But the consequence of this is: wild boar meat is hard and chai, taste the same as chewing wax, making "Dongpo meat" is no play! Moreover, the wild boar that was killed could not bleed in time, and the meat was fishy and smelly, and it was difficult to enter.
Wild boar captured
Not only that, wild boars live in the wild, with poor sanitary conditions, with a variety of pathogens such as bacteria, as well as parasites such as ticks and pork tapeworms. Among them, pork tapeworm can be described as a well-known, infected people will be diarrhea, indigestion, heavy will cause intestinal obstruction, and even into the brain.
It is precisely because wild boar meat is unpalatable that the ancestors of mankind domesticated domestic pigs for a long time. The size of the domestic pig has undergone a huge change, the rear body has become larger, the head has become smaller, the fat ratio of meat has increased, and it is not so woody to eat, and it is not so smelly, which is a good material for making Dongpo meat.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to hunt and kill wild boars for harmless treatment, that is, to dig a pit and bury them. If you want to eat wild boar meat in violation of the law, you should stop it!
