Cover comment丨 Wild boar is proposed to be removed from the "three haves" animal list to relieve the worries of villagers' rights protection

Recently, the State Forestry and Grassland Administration issued the "Directory of Terrestrial Wild Animals with Important Ecological, Scientific and Social Value (Draft for Comment)" to solicit opinions from the public. In the draft for comments released this time, the "wild boars in the family of even-hoofed pigs" that were included in the "List of Beneficial Terrestrial Wild Animals Protected by the State or of Important Economic and Scientific Research Value" in 2000 no longer exist. This means that wild boars are no longer protected animals. (China News Service)

Wild boar flooding, especially in recent years, can be described as a lot of evil. In the context of the intensification of "man-pig land struggle" and "man-pig conflict", and at the moment when villagers lack the means to defend themselves and defend their rights, they are often caught in a dilemma, and the news that the "three haves" animal list intends to delete wild boars can be described as "timely rain". The adjustment of the legislative end will directly change the game pattern in reality, which is of great benefit to ensuring the safety of people's lives and property, and even for maintaining the balance of animal ecological chains.

Combing through past cases, it was found that some villagers were forced to "kill" wild boars helplessly, and they were often identified as "committing illegal hunting crimes", and there were not a few people who were held responsible and sentenced. Obviously, the wild boar started to move first, but the villagers fought back but were "bound hands and feet". The status quo is such that it has attracted the dissatisfaction of many parties. To solve this problem, it is impossible to resort to the private remedies of the people, but must rely on the re-discourse at the legal level. The wild boar is proposed to be removed from the "three haves" animal list, which fundamentally gives the villagers a complete "right to fight back". This makes it possible to carry out more flexible and large-scale "population regulation".

Wild boars are no longer protected animals, which means that the relevant "population regulation" means can be worry-free, such as "quota hunting" and "concession hunting" and other measures, can be safely arranged. More critically, in an emergency, the villagers can fully and forcefully defend their rights and fight back, which is crucial to change the trend of human-pig confrontation in local micro scenes. From another point of view, in the case of the recovery of large top predator populations is not in place, wild boars that lack natural enemies objectively also need manual intervention to control the number. If not, instead of protecting the ecological chain of animals, it is indulging in harm.

The list of "three haves" animals should be dynamically adjusted according to the actual situation, and before the complete ecological chain is completely repaired and self-balanced, the necessary scientific judgment and manual intervention are an important part of maintaining the balance. Of course, the proposed deletion of wild boars from the list of "three haves" does not mean that they can be hunted at will. Only by managing according to law, limiting, authorization, and indexing can we avoid going to the other extreme.
