«——【Destructive Invasive Species·】——»
There is an animal on the continent that is a huge threat to Australians because of their huge numbers.
According to the survey, there are more than 6 million individuals, and they are almost left with little grass everywhere they go, which seriously affects the ecological environment, even if the government dispatches helicopters to strafe it, it is useless, and it is also called a "destructive invasive species".
In November 2023, the Australian journal "Frontiers in Genetics" published an article saying that the entire Australian wild goat has almost become an ecological nightmare.
Animal experts estimate that the existence of wild goats will add more than $220 million to Australia's economic losses every year.
For this reason, many Australian governments did not hesitate to send helicopters and all kinds of heavy weapons to kill a large number of wild goats, although the momentum was huge, but the results were not satisfactory.
Even in the face of the huge data of more than 6 million wild goats, the killing is not worth mentioning at all.
This also makes people very curious, in the mainland wild goat is obviously a national second-class protected animal, why did it become like this in Australia?
As many people know, Australia is a very unique country, because of its isolated territory in the Pacific Ocean, and their livestock industry is very developed, many people are called "the country on horseback".
However, such a country with a very developed animal husbandry industry has been frequently affected by wild goats, resulting in huge economic losses.
Wild goats, although they belong to the mainland, are national second-class protected animals, but they are indeed an invasive species in Australia, and there are many sheep in Australia, but most of them belong to sheep.
The goats were brought into Australia by British colonists and were once bred in captivity, but later fled to the wild due to negligence in management.
As a result, in many parts of Australia, a large number of breeding and development, resulting in their population gradually growing, on the one hand, because of Australia's unique geographical climate, resulting in a large number of pastures, as well as a large number of plant resources.
This also makes the wild goat's wild population larger and larger, and although this land is very vast, there is no natural predator of wild goats, which also leads to the continuous breeding of wild goats, so that the population is getting bigger and bigger.
In fact, many people did not expect that wild goats would reproduce so fast, and when wild goats entered Australia, there were still many people who raised wild goats in enclosures.
But then, for many Australians, sheep are more preferred, and sheep are used for a variety of purposes.
Not only can it be used for food, but also sheep wool, can also be used to make a variety of clothing, as well as textiles, etc., which leads to more and more people to raise sheep, so many wild goats are directly stocked on the grassland.
Due to its continuous breeding in the wild, their numbers are increasing, and so far according to relevant scientific investigations, the number of wild goats in Australia has exceeded 6 million.
Even scientific surveys have shown that there are nearly 8,000 wild goats in a natural park of nearly 6,000 square meters in Australia.
Because they are so numerous, this is a huge impact and damage to the local ecology.
Because they are constantly gnawing on the turf of various places, they will occasionally look at some green plants on the trees, which leads to the "slaughter" of wild goats in many places, resulting in local land desertification, which brings a lot of ecological damage to the local people.
Due to the desertification of the land, many environments have been severely damaged, and natural disasters such as tornadoes, sandstorms, etc., have seriously affected the lives of many residents.
To this end, the Australian government has also introduced relevant policies to hunt a large number of wild goats, and even the government has introduced a method to give a certain reward for hunting wild goats to curb wild goats, as well as the use of helicopters and some heavy weapons to hunt wild goats in a large way.
But the effect is almost minimal, and although there is a certain gain, it has hardly changed much for the entire huge herd of wild goats.
For this reason, the government spends a lot of money every year, and it is almost impossible to completely control the number of wild goats, and even loses 220 million every year, which is also a headache for the government.
«——【Why don't you eat?·】——»
Wild goats are rampant in Australia, leaving Australians miserable and helpless.
This makes the Chinese people feel very strange, after all, wild goats in the mainland, belong to the national second-class protected animals, so many wild goats, why will they be flooded in Australia?
Some Chinese people also proposed that since there is such a huge number of wild goats, why not eat to solve the problem, after all, goats, sheep and some sheep are a kind of food in the mainland.
Although there is a certain difference between goat meat and sheep meat, many people still like to eat it in the mainland, and its use is even more diverse.
But in Australia it's completely different, because a lot of people are not very interested in goat meat, but they prefer sheep meat.
Australia is known as the "country on horseback", naturally has its own uniqueness, looking at the world, Australia is also the country with the most sheep breeding.
Therefore, people are more accepting of sheep, and the production and sale of sheep in Australia has formed a very complete industrial chain.
Moreover, sheep is higher than goats in terms of meat taste and other application value, especially in the application of its fur in the industry.
It can be said that in addition to exporting a large amount of sheep meat every year, Australia will also export a large number of sheep fur products.
However, goat has a firmer taste, which is not loved by Australians, and for many local eating methods, goat meat is not suitable.
Although goats are very popular in the mainland, most of them are used to make skewers. and stewed lamb chops, but in Australia it is mainly eaten with grilled lamb chops. and other ways to eat, which are very different from mainland ways of eating in terms of taste.
There are also people who ask why they can't export a large number of goats even though they don't eat them, even though there are now more than 6 million goats in the wild in Australia.
It also seriously affects the ecological security of the whole of Australia, as well as the habitat of many sheep, but there are many steps that must be taken to export it.
After all, now, the vast majority of goats in Australia are wild goats, there is a great safety risk, in case someone eats wild goats, causing harm to their own body, this is a kind of gain outweighs the loss.
Moreover, many wild goats, through continuous breeding, eat almost everything in the wild, so they are likely to have some toxic substances in their bodies, which are extremely harmful to the human body.
Therefore, to export them, it is basically impossible to pass the health and safety barrier, so now Australia is also trying to limit the number of wild goats, after all, their flooding is a huge harm to the ecology of the entire Australia.
Compared with sheep, the taste of goat meat is not accepted by Australians, and naturally there are very few people who try goats.
In addition, although the whole Australia is very wide, there are some fierce beasts, and there are almost no natural predators for wild goats, so there are no restrictions on their development, resulting in more and more of them.
But now, the Australian government is actively looking for a scientific and reasonable way to control the wild goat population.
It is hoped that in the near future, a very scientific method can be found to reduce the population of wild goats and change the status quo.
