There are many people raising dogs in rural areas, and friends who have raised dogs also know that dogs are generally afraid of people who take killing as their careers, such as butchers. Even the most ferocious dog is, it will run away in fear when it meets a butcher.
The author’s neighbor is an old butcher, who is now in his 80s. decades ago, he was a famous butcher butcher in our area. Whether it is someone else's family holding weddings or killing the "New Year's Pig" during the Chinese New Year, he will be specially invited.
Because of his great skills, he was nicknamed "Zhang Yidao". The reason is that his surname is Zhang, and every time he kills a pig, he will be solved with one knife. In the past, many professions had many taboos, and killing pigs was about killing one knife. If you don’t kill one knife and then finish it, it would be unlucky, and he would not even be able to kill the butcher in the future.
Zhang Yidao has been fighting a butcher for life. When he was in the production team, he specialized in killing pigs, cattle and sheep. In more than a year, hundreds of pigs can be killed, especially at the end of the year. Sometimes, if there are fewer one a day, there are seven or eight more ones. Those who know the profession of butcher know that they often set out to kill pigs at four or five in the morning, and after dawn, they have to go to the town to sell meat.
. Many people raise dogs in rural areas. If someone enters the village at night, usually the dog will bark and refuse to listen, and even the dogs in the whole village will bark. The author once asked Zhang Yidao that he had killed pigs in so many surrounding villages, and many families have raised dogs. Are you not afraid of dogs?
Zhang Yidao said that no matter where he goes, dogs are usually afraid of him, and he has never been afraid of dogs. Whenever he sees a dog, they will run away as soon as they look at it. He said he had encountered dogs barking at him, but as long as he shouted at it a little bigger, they would escape and never dared to approach it easily.
Not only dogs are afraid of him, he also says pigs are afraid of him. Generally, if the owner is not sure to kill the pig, he never goes to other people's pig houses, because the pig will stop eating food after entering. At the same time, he also said that in the past, there were many mice in other people's homes, and food and furniture were often affected. However, he rarely sees mice in his family. If you put them outside, there will usually be no mice to steal or destroy them.
Regarding this phenomenon, many people in the village say that it is because Zhang Yidao has always been engaged in killing and has a heavy "harm" on his body, so many animals dare not get close to him.
To be honest, when I saw Zhang Yidao more than ten years ago, I was a little scared. Because it exudes an indescribable smell, it makes people dare not get close to it after seeing it. But now Zhang Yidao has been "sealing the sword" for almost 20 years. Every time we see him, we no longer feel scared. Instead, we still feel that he is very kind and kind. The children in the village also like him and like to listen to him tell stories. Now if you encounter a dog outside, you will bark at him constantly.
So the author believes that the "homicide" mentioned by the elderly in rural areas should be the smell of blood on his body, and many animals were afraid of him because of this reason before.
The real reason why dogs are afraid of butchers
We all know that dogs are very loyal animals. They are loyal to their owners and have strong territory. This animal has a very sensitive sense of smell and hearing. Once an animal enters its territory, it will discover it immediately and issue a warning through its screams.
seems to be telling the other party that this is my territory, don’t come here to cause trouble, otherwise you will be polite to you. At the same time, it is also reminding the owner that a stranger is approaching and hopes to be vigilant.
Especially at night, although dogs have poor vision, their sense of smell and hearing are very sensitive, especially their sense of smell is hundreds of times stronger than that of us humans. The reason is that dogs have a very developed sense of smell. It is said that dogs have a very smart nose, which is true, because dogs have more than 200 million olfactory cells, which is more than 200 times more than us humans, which means that enough olfactory sense is more than 200 times more sensitive than our humans.If a person's nose can only smell something one meter away, while a dog's nose can smell the smell emitted from more than 200 meters away, it can be seen its sensitivity.
And those who have long been killing will definitely smell blood on their bodies, which we humans cannot smell, but dogs can find it. When I was a child, I often saw Zhang Yidao washing his hands and bathing with soap at the end of the year, and even washing with soda ash. But no matter how he cleans it, he smells of blood on his body.
Animals have an innate sense of fear of the smell of blood, especially animals like dogs with a sensitive sense of smell. After smelling the smell, they will be afraid and then run away.
Everyone knows that tigers are king of beasts . Although many animals have never seen tigers, they will be afraid of tigers once they see tigers. This is also because tigers are carnivorous animals and often prey on other animals to feed, and they will have a smell of blood on their bodies, so they will be afraid. This is also the reason why dogs are afraid of people like butchers who often kill animals.
The author has seen a surveillance video of his dog being stolen by a dog thief. This dog in my house was originally very brave, and many people will be afraid when they see it. But one day, the dog thief parked the car not far from my house, but the dog did not bark. Then he quickly wrapped his neck with a rope, then pulled it to the car and towed it away. The whole process took dozens of seconds. It is also because these dog thieves often do such things, and the aura emitted from their bodies will also scare the animals.
is written later on
Although people who often kill will smell blood, it will scare many animals, especially animals with sensitive smell like dogs. But don’t over-interpret this profession. Any profession needs to be done by people and is worthy of respect. It is also because of their killing that people who want to eat meat do not need to kill.
Moreover, the profession of butchers is very hard-working. Some people say that most butchers do not live long. In fact, the main reason is that they often stay up late and work hard. They overdraw their bodies in advance due to excessive fatigue, so they are sick after getting old. But there are also some butchers who live long, such as Zhang Yidao from my village, who is about to be 90 years old.
