On September 23, in Dongfang Honglin District, a special police call called the Donglin Police Station: "It's not good... me, my domestic wild boar has escaped!" Isn't the wild boar three protected animals ? Why are there people still raising them?
Donglin Police Station did not dare to delay and sent several police officers to take all the equipment and set off directly. On the way, everyone learned the truth. This wild boar is actually not a purebred wild boar, but a "second-generation wild boar".
This second generation wild boar is actually a hybrid breed of female domestic pigs and male wild boars. It looks similar to wild boars, has a long nose and also has fangs. According to national regulations, it can be raised. But because of the genes of wild boars, they are not as docile as domestic pigs. Even the second-generation wild boars who are not adults are very aggressive. The density in captivity is too high and they will fight for food and water, and they will beat each other up and get bruised and injured. They may even die of wound infection
The wildness of the second-generation wild boars inherited its father. When male wild boars become adults, they are basically just eating and preparing to fight. They are polygamous animals. Male wild boars will fight each other for their spouses, and sometimes a group of male wild boars fight in a melee.
Their average body length is generally close to 2 meters, with weight ranging from 200 to 400 kilograms, while wild boars living in southern northeast China and some parts of Russia even weigh nearly 800 kilograms. Wild boars can reproduce twice a year, and each estrus period lasts about one month, which means that they will engage in two "spouse battles" every year.
and Other times, male wild boars are working hard to eat and improve their weight in order to gain an advantage in combat. can be said that when they become adults, they are either preparing for battle or fighting. Domestic pigs are domesticated by wild boars. Although they are now very different in all aspects, they are still biologically a species.

However, the second generation of wild boars inherited from their father's wildness, which still makes accidents happen frequently.
The second-generation wild boar that escaped this time has been farmed for three and a half years and weighs more than 600 kilograms. Because of a moment of negligence, he ran out of the pigpen and became crazy after coming out and could not control it at all. He chased the breeder for several laps and tried to attack other residents.
After escaping, the wild boar plunged into the rice fields and disappeared. The owner did not dare to delay and immediately called the police. After the police arrived at the scene, they found the wild boar resting in the rice fields through a drone. Because the pig owner had been chased several times before, they were afraid that it would hurt people again, so they strongly asked the police to shoot it to death. After asking for instructions, the police shot the wild boar with a gun and killed it on the spot.
The second generation of wild boars are so fierce, let alone wild boars.
Wild boar will be deleted from the "three haves" directory?
, 2021, a special news came out that in the draft for soliciting opinions released by the Forestry Bureau in 2021, some people discovered that wild boars that have existed for more than 20 years in the "Three-Have" protected animals list, but this time they did not appear in the file. means that once this document is implemented, wild boars may no longer be "Three-Have" protected animals.
The harm of wild boars is obvious to all. The flooded wild boars often run into the farmland to destroy crops, making the farmers' hard work a year in vain. People describe it as "Spring arches, summer slaying seedlings, autumn chewing fruits" . The harm of to agriculture is self-evident. There are also news about wild boars hurting people from time to time . Even in the city, it is impossible to escape. Just on the morning of September 13, a wild boar broke in and injured the owner of the morning jogging. On the 25th, another wild boar went down the mountain in Wuhan, running wildly on the streets, and directly hitting a car, and these are just microcosms of the conflict between humans and pigs.
Destroyed cornfield
It can be said that "Human and pig conflict for 20 years, and the masses have suffered from wild boars for a long time." , As a protected animal, wild boars are afraid and cannot be beaten, for fear of accidentally breaking the law.
The number of wild boars is rampant. Some experts say that this is a manifestation of the improvement of ecology, but in fact, this is also a manifestation of the imbalance of the ecological chain. Wild boars are omnivorous animals. Although they can also eat bird eggs , mice, and carrion, plants account for 90% of their recipes, and they are not picky about food at all. As long as they are plants that can eat, they basically eat them. In other words, they can find food by just bowing their heads, and there is no risk of starving to death.
Losing the suppression of natural enemies such as jackals, tigers and leopards. If you want to reduce food in the natural environment to curb them, it may cause a huge blow to the forest first. Moreover, wild boars can give birth to up to 24 cubs a year, and the cubs can become adults in one year. This has led to their excessive number of wild boars in the mountains and forests. Currently, the number of wild boars has exceeded one million, causing severe conflicts with humans. Wild boars have become the wild animals with the largest harm range and the most serious economic losses in China.
Can the wild boar be removed from the three-way list change the status quo? In fact, localities are not blindly protecting wild boars. Long before the draft of the Forestry Bureau’s opinion was released, 14 provinces in were already preventing and controlling the harm of wild boars, but the effect was not very ideal.
10 yuan per pound to recycle wild boars, but the effect is not good?
On September 3, Jinzhai County, Anhui Province issued a notice to organize a hunting team to hunt wild boars, and offered a price of 10 yuan per catty for purchase. In fact, as early as early November last year, Jinzhai County issued a "wild boar hunting order", and at that time a team of 20 people was organized to go up the mountain to hunt wild boars. The local approved wild boar hunting limit is 200.
In theory, this is a good thing, but it is difficult to actually operate. The first is the question of candidates. The combat effectiveness of the wild boars in should not be underestimated. Unlike domestic pigs, wild boars that live in the wild all year round are rough and thick in flesh. has 1 to 2 cm of skin alone. There is also the habit of rolling and rubbing pine trees in the mud. There is a layer of soil or protective layer formed by pine oil. Hunters may not shoot through them with ordinary bows and arrows.
Moreover, their fangs are average 6 cm long and their charge speed can reach 56 kilometers per hour, which is faster than the world sprint champion Bolt . It is impossible for people to fight with it in close combat. They can only rely on hunting dogs to deal with it. There is a member of the hunting team who has trained more than 20 hunting dogs, and six died because of hunting wild boars.
. In order to prevent harming other animals, traps and poisons cannot be used. Therefore, only guns can be used. my country has very strict restrictions on guns, which invisibly raises the threshold for hunting teams. In addition to hunting certificate , it also requires gun possession certificate , and it also needs to go through layers of review.
is the second issue of funding. If you calculate it at 150 kilograms of a wild boar, then 00 wild boars will be 300,000 yuan. This is just a subsidy to the hunting team. The subsequent harmless treatment will require about 100,000 yuan . The harmlessness here in does not mean that these wild boars can be sold after being processed, but can also subsidize some of the funds. instead means that wild boars are processed through physical and chemical methods such as deep burial and chemical agents.
Because wild boars eat everything and like to roll in the mud, they are very prone to various infectious diseases and parasitic diseases . Although some people used to eat wild boar meat, it was forced by life. Now that the conditions have improved, safety is put first. The meat of these wild boars cannot flow to the market and can only be processed on the spot.
harmless treatment of wild boars
The number of wild boars hunting is not determined by a slap in the brow, but is calculated based on the local wild boar population. 200 wild boars account for about 10% of the local population. even feels like they are not fast to kill.
It is not difficult to see from the example of Jinzhai County that wants to suppress the number of wild boars by hunting. Even if the Forestry Bureau has implemented a new batch of three-protected lists and eliminated wild boars from protected animals, it does not mean that they can hunt wild boars unscrupulously. has taken more than 20 years of protection after all. If the wild boar is killed to the endangered danger because of the lifting of the ban, isn’t it just driving a reversal?
Wild boars were removed from the three lists, which can only be said to make the control of wild boar populations more flexible in various places, without having to be tied up, and alleviate the increasingly fierce conflict between people and wild boars.
