Why are Australian hares so widespread, why do Australians say no in the face of delicious rabbit meat, why do they get what methods the Australian people use, long press likes and attention, let's go to see how fierce the Australian hare is.
According to the Australian Department of Agriculture released the news, the number of Hares in Australia has exceeded ten billion, seeing this news the Australian people have not yet reacted to it, but the Chinese foodies are not calm, have angrily rebuked why this kind of good thing is someone else's family, you can do well to travel to China, at the same time, our small body has a big doubt, the Australians are not OK, spicy rabbit head, cumin roast rabbit, beer rabbit It is not fragrant, the so-called violent natural things are just like this, eh, This is what we have wronged them, to find out why the Australian people do not eat rabbits, we must first find out where the Australian rabbits come from, we all know that Australia occupies a continent alone, because of the long-term separation from other continents, Australia has also given birth to a unique ecological environment, and the hare does not exist in australia's original ecological environment, the hare can occupy this continent is blamed on a ghost called Thomas, Thomas as a farmer came to Australia to reclaim the land, Thomas still thought it was interesting when he first arrived, after all, there were so many unheard of magical creatures, but after a long time, everything seemed boring.
People are bored up anything can do out, this is not, Thomas's want to hunt the noble problem is committed, you say hit the kangaroo, this thing runs fast thieves do not say, forced to hurry may not give you a kick, and to slaughter this big guy is also quite mad, you say to do koala, really do not need a shotgun to take a net pocket on the line, it is really not challenging, fast to be hunted Tomas brought wild rabbits, the nightmare history of the Australian people began at this time, just at the beginning the number of hares is still small and controllable, The more the number of hares in the back, the more the Australian people at this time are still in a state of excitement, and finally can enjoy the long-awaited aristocratic life, but after a few years they can't laugh out, the hare expanded rapidly from the Victorian region to the East Australia, and then North Australia and South Australia also fell, and by 1907, the whole of Australia can see the traces of hares, and the hares everywhere wantonly destroy grasslands and farms, threatening the interests of the Australian people who are mainly based on animal husbandry. By this time, the Australians found that things were a bit serious, so they took the method of laying traps, putting poison and even explosives, but the results were still minimal.
After more than twenty years of rabbits have reached the number of 10 billion, then the question comes, why is the hare so arrogant, is there no natural enemy here, in fact, the hare has no natural enemies at all, that is nonsense, like the extinct thylacine, the Australian wild dog are eating rabbits, but the rabbit is not in their main diet, Australia's animals are mainly marsupials, then you think of rabbits facing foxes, tigers, bears, and people koalas face thylacines, wild dogs, this is a power level, In the face of the fast running hare is obviously still eating koalas is simpler, even if you eat it, you have eaten some old and weak sick and disabled, which not only does not prevent the problem of the rabbit flooding, but is promoting its population to evolve in a better direction, the hare can breed in the direction of 3-8 months, each pregnancy period is only more than a month, each year can give birth to 3-4 births, each fetus is about 5-12, and the life expectancy of wild female rabbits is about 9 years, which means that a rabbit can reproduce 200 cubs in a lifetime. At such a terrible breeding rate, the only way to exterminate hares is obviously human intervention, so what good way did the resourceful Australian people think?
The same as the way to eliminate wild boars in the United States, the Australian people first adopted a bounty hunting system, every time a rabbit was killed, the government issued a bonus, but the hunter's killing speed was obviously unable to keep up with the rabbit breeding speed, and finally even the army used the number of rabbits or increasing, of course, the hunting system to a certain extent, or slowed down the growth rate of rabbits, but with the hare disappeared with the Australian government's small treasury, the problem is that the hare can breed, the small treasury can not use money to make money, In this case, the Australian people began to build a wall, they used an iron fence to isolate most of the hares, in order to prevent them from entering the fertile agricultural areas, in the early stage of construction also obtained a certain effect, but with the rabbit awakening the digging skills, the wall is no different from the decoration, the Australian people who were forced to be really helpless came to a desperate plan, they found the mosquito-borne "myxoma virus", this virus after entering the rabbit, will quickly kill the host and spread, The human rabbit war that lasted for nearly a hundred years came to a temporary end, the number of rabbits dropped sharply to 100 million, just when the Australian people were happy for less than five years, they recalled the fear of being dominated by the rabbit brother, the remaining rabbits had herd immunity to the virus, seeing such a scene, the Australian people had to change the source of the virus, but every time the rabbit was killed, it would come back with antibodies, and the virus that could be found over time was less and less, and the number of rabbits was getting more and more.
Of course, the author is very skeptical that if you continue to kill like this, the rabbit will not become a super species that cannot be invaded by poison, anyway, the number of Australian rabbits has returned to ten billion, and the human rabbit war in Oceania has also ended in failure, and why the Australian people do not eat rabbits is also very simple, carrying so many antibodies do you dare to eat, and kill no one breeds fast, let alone by eating to eliminate them, so you foodies do not drool and look at Australia, people's lives are not good, ah, So what are your best tricks for killing rabbits, welcome to leave a comment in the comment area to discuss, we will see you in the next issue.
