Many people's cognition of donkeys is still stuck in the donkey meat fire and donkey meat steamed dumplings, it has become a wolf defense weapon on the American ranch and a security captain! Hey? Donkeys still have this ability? More cattle than a shepherd dog?
In 2006, a wolf attack on a ranch in Colorado lost 10 sheep and 3 boutique collies overnight. The next day, the rancher quickly raised the courtyard wall and pulled the anti-theft net, which was good at first, but it did not last long, and the wolves found a loophole and made another surprise attack.
At this time, a friend suggested that the rancher raise a few donkeys, but at first he refused, but he really couldn't think of any other solution, so he decided to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor. As a result, what the rancher never expected was that the donkey's anti-wolf ability was really not covered, not only the cattle and sheep in the pasture were never lost, but occasionally the wolf carcass could be found near the courtyard wall.
In this way, more and more American ranches began to raise donkeys, not to mention how strong the donkey's ability is, it is simply too cost-effective compared to dogs.
First of all, the price is about $800 for a donkey, but a shepherd dog is at least $1,000, in terms of maintenance, a vaccine for a shepherd dog is expensive, but a donkey only needs to repair its hooves regularly. But cheap is not enough, is the donkey really the nemesis of the wolf? Let's move on.
"Yong Donkey", donkey donkey donkey, all rely on the driving of Qi'er, die boiled ejiao, can still ride alive. You probably won't believe that the natural enemy of the steppe overlord wolf is not a lion tiger, nor an elephant crocodile, but a stupid "donkey" that we spit on, so by what did the donkey rely on to defeat the wolf?
First of all, although the donkey's stubborn temper makes it look not very smart, but it is also this strength that makes the donkey see who is not pleasing to the eye and have to have a "decisive battle to the death", at the same time, the donkey is not stunned, precipitated for tens of thousands of years "donkey lifting hooves" is super easy to use, if you kick the key point of the wolf, light is bone crack, heavy is comatose, and no matter what the result, the wolf will be pressed to the ground and rubbed.
Secondly, although the donkey never gnaws the bones, the bite force is extremely strong, and it also picks the vulnerable place of the wolf to bite, look quickly, after a few rounds, the wolf is locked in the throat. In addition, the donkey also has a skill that can be attacked and retreated, called: donkey rolling.
Don't underestimate this seemingly rogue action, if the wolf dares to get close, I lose, and if the donkey is unfortunately bitten, you can also get rid of the entanglement by rolling. Finally, the donkey is very responsible, simply put, it is a protective calf, and when it knows its protection, it will never be a runaway. However, are there any drawbacks to raising donkeys to prevent wolves?
The mainland's cultivators have become personal guards in the United States, not only robbing the shepherd dog's job, but also turning into a wolf-proof artifact, which is a donkey. So raising donkeys to prevent wolves is so good, why didn't the mainland follow suit?
The first reason is that the pastoral situation is different, the United States is sparsely populated, and the pastures are mostly located in the wilderness, so the probability of wolves appearing is relatively high. Most of the mainland pastures are near residential areas, and there are few wolves around.
The second reason is that the donkey will not maintain order, after the donkey is kept in the pasture, we will find that although it is very good at resisting foreign enemies, it is not very good at helping the rancher graze, if the donkey is taken to the wild, the sheep and cattle are not lost, it may be lost first.
The reason is that the three donkeys are easy to accidentally injure friendly troops, I believe everyone has heard of the incident of donkey breeders being kicked by donkeys, donkeys not only kick people, when they are in a bad mood, even cattle and sheep are kicked together. Big cattle and big sheep are good to say, if they kick the lambs, the rancher will lose a lot.
So foreign experience is worth learning, but the wisdom of Chinese is not covered. For example, the older generation often says that it is best to bring a donkey when going far away, because it can not only carry things, but also walk tools, which shows that the role of the donkey is of course, but the most reliable is to run transportation, so when it comes to donkeys, what will friends think of?
