These lambs must be rescued, or they will be miserable.
On December 27, 2023, someone posted a video on the platform, and after this video was released, it caused heated discussions among many netizens. From the relevant information released, it can be seen that the two trucks were full of sheep, and the owner also said that the sheep loaded on the two large trucks were worth more than 1 million.
According to the description of the parties, the sheep on the two carts were used for release, but these sheep were all bred in captivity, and there may be many unknown risks if these sheep are released into the wild. After learning about it, the staff of the local animal husbandry bureau actually said such a thing. What did the staff of the Animal Husbandry Bureau say, and why did people release these sheep?
Many people bought sheep for release, which caused heated discussions
In a certain area of Guangdong, the behavior of someone spending a lot of money to buy sheep has caused controversy among many people. Judging from some of the pictures, these people are middle-aged people, and they are also a group of people with good hearts, but some people think that this practice is good, and some people think that this practice is right or wrong.
People have different attitudes towards this matter, but these sheep are some artificially bred sheep, and if these sheep are released, some unknown things will happen if they are not guaranteed. On December 28, according to a person familiar with the matter, the sheep were bought at a local market, and the person who sold the sheep said that he was at the scene at the time, and based on his previous experience, the car was worth about 1 million.
However, the sheep were loaded in two carts, and they all looked alive and full of spirit. It is very likely that these sheep are very happy because they perceive that they will soon be free, because animals are also living beings, and many animals are spiritual, and these sheep are very likely happy to know that they are going to be reborn.
Moreover, these two carts loaded with sheep were rented by the people who bought them. So what are these middle-aged people spending so much money on to buy so many sheep for grazing, and why do they do this?
What did the staff of the local animal husbandry bureau say?
The sheep is also an independent individual, but also a living being. We, humans, as higher animals, also need the harmony of creatures in nature. Several middle-aged people in this incident are enthusiastic people, and they are all very kind, but their actions are likely to cause some unnecessary harm.
However, they spend so much money to buy these sheep for freeing, maybe they also want to do more good deeds, but sometimes we can't use kindness in the wrong place. After the news of buying sheep and releasing them spread, many people came to watch, and some people expressed their opinions on the platform. Some people think that this behavior of these middle-aged people is likely to have a certain impact on the local ecological environment.
Others believe that the actions of these zealous people are commendable because, in their view, the sheep are freed by freeing them and may largely avoid being eaten.
Different people have different opinions, and after seeing this incident, the local relevant department personnel also said that the act of buying sheep itself is legal, and they have no right to intervene.
A local animal husbandry official said that so far there is no regulation prohibiting this because the sheep are not wild sheep. However, it is impossible to know for sure that these sheep were not released but sent somewhere else.
However, before we do anything, we should also consider the possible consequences of this matter, and what might happen if these sheep are released?
What happens when sheep are released into the wild?
The animals released included not only sheep, but also other creatures such as foxes, squirrels, snakes, and so on. Sheep is a very common animal in our lives, our country has been using mutton as a delicacy as early as ancient times, and sheep is regarded as a kind of mascot in ancient times.
Sheep is introduced by ethnic minorities, mutton is nutritious, and delicious, people make mutton into a variety of delicacies. It is precisely because of this that many people like to eat mutton, but some people will not be able to stand the smell of mutton. But as long as the lamb is handled properly, after the way he cooks it, it can be solved very well.
For this incident in Guangdong, these middle-aged people must have thought of this, and they want to help these sheep get out of the sea of suffering. But these sheep are all bred in captivity, and they are not like wild sheep. Therefore, after being released into the wild, it is likely to be threatened, and sheep are animals that were first domesticated by people and became domestic animals.
Our country also has a lot of protection measures for wild animals, and the essence of releasing animals is good, but their original intentions are very likely to harm these animals.
There is a big difference between raised sheep and wild sheep, and the sheep raised almost all live a life of clothes to reach out for food and open their mouths, while wild sheep go out to forage for food, because they will starve to death if they do not find food by themselves.
Moreover, almost all the sheep raised live in greenhouses, and the wild sheep are in the wild, and the temperature difference is relatively large. Therefore, if these captive-bred sheep are released rashly, it is likely to cause great harm to these sheep. This practice of these people in Guangzhou has attracted the attention of many people, and their original intentions are good, and they are all out of kindness.
This also proves that our people's awareness of environmental protection is constantly increasing, and many people have begun to pursue a way to live in harmony with nature. Although there is no explicit prohibition on the release of animals, we should also pay attention to the fact that we must carefully consider a variety of factors when releasing animals and choose a suitable release site.
Another important thing is that before release, we must understand the living Xi and characteristics of these bionic animals, only in this way can we ensure the safety of these animals.
