Today I'm going to share with you an interesting story, a story about a rabbit. You might wonder why we don't see rabbit meat at the dinner table so often, right?
Event Content:
In a faraway country, there was once an Australian farmer who introduced rabbits in 1859. These cute little creatures are like an exponential increase in math problems, and their numbers have exploded in just ten years. As a result, this led to an ecological crisis that had to be dealt with by the influx of rabbits.
You heard it right, rabbits are no joke.
Back in our homeland, during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, rabbits did not dominate the table. Legend has it that rabbits were not suitable for domestication during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and that their domestication process was relatively late compared to other animals. Why? It's a wonderful story.
Did you know that rabbits are an active bunch of little creatures who don't like to adapt to human society? Domesticating them is not an easy task. They are always full of free energy and unpredictable.
Not only that, but the economic problem of rabbit breeding has also become a hurdle.
Compared with pig and cattle breeding, the meat yield of rabbits is relatively low, which is prohibitive. Don't think that raising rabbits is an easy investment option, in fact, rabbits are expensive, prone to illness, and require regular vaccinations and health check-ups, which makes breeding more difficult and costly.
Not only is there a small market demand for farmed rabbits, but prices are volatile, which means a potential economic risk for farmers. So, although rabbits have amazing reproductive abilities, they have not become the main choice of mainstream meat due to the difficulty of domestication and low economic efficiency.
Social Care:
When this story spread throughout society, people began to express their opinions. Some people think that rabbits are really naughty guys, and they have created an ecological crisis in a short period of time. Others feel that raising rabbits is like walking a tightrope, which may fall at any time, which is too risky.
Summary:
Friends, we learned a lot through this funny rabbit story. Despite the amazing reproductive ability of rabbits, domestication is difficult and economical is low. Low meat yield, high breeding costs and low market demand are the main reasons why rabbits are not the mainstream meat.
