I have to say that Japan is really a disaster. There was the "strongest red tide in the history of the outbreak" caused by marine pollution, the "red tide" crisis has led to more than 4600 salmon, dozens of tons of nearly 90% of the sea urchins have died, and even a large number of other aquatic organisms have died, and there is no trend to stop. At a time when there is a debate about whether Japan will have no fish to eat, there has recently been a larger "disaster" in Japan!
According to a recent report by Fuji TV in Japan, a foreign deer creature "spirit beast" that has been plaguing Japan has still not been solved. With the number of hunts that have continued to exceed 5,000 per year, the trend has not been controlled this year, and it has become more and more rampant. It is reported that at present, "spirit beasts" have also been bred in large quantities in the Japanese capital circle, with a total number of more than 44,000 heads, and even approaching Tokyo.
What kind of creature is the alien species "Spirit Beast"? Why can it reproduce in large quantities while hunting and killing? Is it really good that these rare "spirit beasts" specifically select female juveniles to hunt and kill? How serious are the harms they cause and how much damage is they? With these questions in mind, let's let the Rubik's Cube answer them in detail. But before that, let's first understand what kind of creature the "spirit beast" is.
The little chamois, also known as the "spirit beast". It is a small deer with a bright brown head and tan body hair, a darker neck and back that gradually fades into a white belly. It is very characteristic that the adults of this species are a little different from the juveniles, and the juveniles will have spots like sika deer on their body hair, but they will gradually disappear after adulthood. In addition, the chamois has a very characteristic point. That is, it is reported that when the little chamois is frightened, it will make a short and loud bark, and the sound is very similar to that of a dog, which makes people trance and marvel at what a strange creature this is.
Generally speaking, the height of the small chamois is only about 50 cm, the body length is about 90 cm, the weight is more than 30 pounds, and the heaviest one is only about 40 pounds. The tail of the small chamois is very short and almost non-existent. Males have shorter antlers, while females have none at all. By their very nature, they prefer to live in bushes or weeds, are cowardly and withdrawn, and prefer to live alone. The timid are very alert, and can quickly escape the enemy whenever they hear any wind and grass. Without their own powerful offensive weapons, they have unique escape skills.
However, there are still occasional battles within their populations, that is, whenever they court. The baby chamois matures very early and begins to breed all year round before it is less than one year old. During the breeding season, males compete for mates, making "quack, quack" sounds, and even fighting. However, in general, on the one hand, it is distributed in the provinces south of the Yangtze River in China. But on the other hand, although widely distributed, there are not many of them. Therefore, it has always been protected as a rare wild species.
It is reported that in order to control the population of small chamois, Japan alone hunts more than 5,000 heads a year, but it is helpless to catch more and more, and now it is more and more in the Japanese capital area, and the number has reached 44,000. Why are there so many chamois? Where did they all come from?
Tracing the origin of the "spirit beast" small chamois found that it is actually related to Japan itself. Around 1980, a few small chamois in a zoo in the southern part of the Bongjong Peninsula escaped, escaped into the wild, and gradually rewired. Now, more than 40 years later, the small chamois "returned the king" and directly led a large army to breed in the local area, and traveled to the neighboring Capital of Japan, Tokyo. According to statistics, Japan hunts small chamois every year, and even specially selects female juvenile chamois. But the little chamois are too alert, and the hunting is very difficult. Therefore, in general, the local hunting can be described as weak in heart.
So the problem is, at present, the small chamois in order to pursue a better living environment in Japan gradually spread, more and more. In Japan, however, it has also suffered huge losses because of the small chamois, such as the characteristic of "like to eat sweet potato leaves" that is very headache for the local people. Because the sweet potato leaves are eaten, the sweet potatoes in the field do not grow up. The annual loss to the local area exceeds 1.2 million yen, which is equivalent to 68,000 yuan. So both of these people are facing a dilemma in survival, who is the biggest "wrongdoer"?
It is worth noting that in fact, Japan is not only hunting the species of small chamois. In addition, there are many wildlife hunting operations in Japan. One of the typical ones is the more than 30,000 wild boars that flooded the Fukushima area, because after the fukushima nuclear power plant nuclear accident, local residents moved out of the area, but the number of wild animals, including wild boars, gradually increased. For fear of affecting health, no one dares to eat wild boar meat here. In order to drive away wild boars, Japan has also paid a heavy reward for hunting hunters, giving a bounty plan at all levels of the stacked up to 1,000 yuan.
In Shizuoka, Japan, there is also a phenomenon of sika deer flooding, and in China, wild sika deer is an extremely rare wild species, ranking first, and even needs artificial breeding. However, the Izu region of Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, is suffering from the adverse effects of the flood of sika deer. In order to reduce the number of wild sika deer up to 25,300 within the maximum environmental capacity of 5,000, even the official method is to open a hunting discipline.
In addition, whale hunting in Japan is also very rampant, which can be described as horror. Whales are the largest mammals in the sea, and under the experience of hunting and using them all year round in Japan, whales can be said to be treasures of the whole body. Its meat can be eaten, the skin can be processed into clothes, and the grease is still a good fuel or lubricant, and the internal organs can be made into health products or medicines. As early as 2018, Japan announced its withdrawal from the International Whaling Commission, and since then it has begun to "go to the sea to hunt whales according to its own needs", which no one can stop.
According to statistics, since the end of World War II, poor Japanese people have relied on the sea to eat the sea in order to supplement protein, and whales have become their excellent targets. A large amount of whale meat was killed and eaten in China, and according to statistics, 46% of the meat products in Japan at that time were whale meat. In the case of the wild boar above, if it were not for the fear that the DNA mutation of the wild boar caused by nuclear pollution might affect the health, it might not have been merciful. But is such a frequent hunt for protected wild animals really a good thing? How harmful is it?
Rubik's Cube believes that there are still three main aspects of influence! First of all, in terms of biodiversity, whether it is whales, wild boars or the "spirit beast" small chamois this time, they are rare and rare wild protected animals, they should actually be protected, control a certain number, there is no need to massacre, otherwise it is very harmful to biodiversity. In addition, it is the integrity of the food chain. Without this species, another species will grow rapidly, which invisibly increases the risk of local or even large-scale flooding of species.
Finally, in terms of human health. Many animal hunting practices in Japan end up being used for food. The biosphere is a circle, and humans are one of them, but maybe the local proliferation of species is the result of genetic mutations? To hunt for food or other purposes is completely contrary to scientific principles.
Indeed, the impact of wildlife infestation is two-sided, and on the one hand, it will cause great threats and losses to agriculture, economic industries. On the other hand, if you hunt exclusively, it will also bring a series of disadvantages mentioned above. So what exactly should be done? It was as if he had been caught in a dilemma. In fact, this complex problem is also simple to say, and it can be started from the following two aspects. First of all, we should actually find the crux of this situation and cure the root cause from the source. Secondly, it is necessary to control the "degree".
All in all, no matter what species has the right to survive, we should also reflect on why this situation occurs on the explicit side of the flooding trend of species growth. Leaving a glimmer of life for them also gives us humans a little more ecological retreat.
