Spring has arrived, and the flood season of various wild animals in European and American countries has begun again, although these wild animals have brought richer species diversity to the earth, but also brought headaches to some places.
Recently, for example, a small town in France was flooded with hares.
Jean-Luc Meissonnier, the mayor of Hérault, France, has been troubled lately, because the hare there is once again in a frenzy of mating and childbearing, and the golf courses in his city are almost unsafe...
The turf of the stadium is the Garena rabbit, which often haunts Europe, this rabbit is larger, mostly gray in color, runs fast and jumps far, and is very edible.
Although the number of wild rabbits in France is not as large as in Australia, the number of wild rabbits in France is serious in the settlement of cities.
In addition to the damage to the mayor's golf course, the huge lawn in front of the Musée des Honors museum in Paris was recently declared occupied by hares.
Not only do the rabbit soldiers brazenly eat grass in broad daylight, but they also burrow under the lawn in the dead of night.
Some 300 furry bunny scouts reportedly dug "thousands of tunnels" under the manicured and well-maintained lawns of Les Invalides, gnawing on cables and garden hoses, turning the lawn directly into "porous milk 酪️".
How do you know it's a rabbit and not another herbivore?
Because they wreak havoc, they also leave their iconic ball droppings along the way, without any disguise...
It's so arrogant... In this way, the 300 rabbits stationed on the lawn of Les Invalides destroyed 16 hectares of land under the supervision of the French military, causing economic losses of more than 360,000 euros.
In addition to its amazing destructive power, the rabbit's reproductive ability is also amazing. The female rabbit is a double uterine structure, one pregnancy is about equal to two human pregnancies, the birth efficiency is extremely high, and the female rabbit is sexually mature in half a year.
It is not a problem for a female rabbit to give birth to four, five, six, seven or eight at a time, and it is not a problem for three or four female rabbits to produce four, five, six, seven or eight after half a year... That's right, once the number of rabbits grows irrepressibly, it basically grows exponentially, and the whole species seems to be born to copy and paste and eat grass.
Therefore, once the number of organisms at the top of the food chain is not controlled, rabbits are prone to flooding, and the green plants downstream of rabbits are easy to be gnawed...
No, the mayor of Hérault asked for animal aid after seeing the damage to the golf course, and it was unrealistic for the wolves to be released, so the mayor asked for some captive-bred ferrets to catch rabbits.
It's a pity that there is no advantage in the number of ferrets, and the mayor has no choice, so he decided that he must "fight violence with violence" - an advertisement called on citizens to kill rabbits, and everyone should eat rabbit stew!
As a result, about 60 posters have recently been scattered around the town. The poster is divided into two sides, one is the "hard book" that shows the rabbit: "I am the one who destroys your land, your fields, and your railway lines every night......
On the other side is the pragmatic rabbit eating guide: "Rabbit stew recipe".
The instructions include: "Start by preparing the marinade and mixing the diced rabbit with herbs, pepper, minced onion, minced garlic and chopped carrots;
Pour it all into half a bottle of red wine and leave it in a cool, dry place for 12-24 hours;
The next day, remove the rabbit from the marinade, place in a pot, add butter, shallots and salt and cook for 10 minutes;
Then add the herbs in the marinade and cook for five minutes;
Add the rabbit's liver and kidneys. ”
In fact, rabbit dishes are not uncommon in traditional French recipes, but nowadays the French are not so fond of eating rabbits.
But the mayor is committed to reviving this lost tradition, saying:
"Previously in the commune, we hunted rabbits, now we hunt wild boars, and as a result, there are too many rabbits.
Mustard rabbit or rabbit stew, it's something very tasty, it's a shame we haven't had the opportunity to review these delicious side dishes in the past, which delight the whole family and are not expensive. ”
In response to the opposition, the mayor angrily scolded:
"If we can't stop this strong spread quickly, they will eat salads, leeks, onions and other fruits and vegetables because they have swallowed strawberries from the Luneloa farm.
For those vegetarians who are calling for the protection of rabbits, I would say that on the day the rabbits have eaten all the carrots and all the salads, they will be forced to eat meat again!"
But even so, the French masses are still reluctant to eat rabbits:
"People live for money. There's concrete and asphalt everywhere, where is the meadow? What about the forests? We're overurbanized, and then we complain that animals are squatting in cities. Give it back to its natural habitat instead of letting the people pay for advertising. ”
"Translate, these poor bunnies can damage a nice golf course!
The mayor committed two crimes: one for eating rabbits and the other for maintaining a golf course in an area prone to severe drought. X eggs..."
I wonder if the mayor's rabbit-eating propaganda can impress the French people?
Suffice it to say, we asked to play...
