Let's talk about the problem of wild boar first. We all know that not only Asian carp but also wild boar are flooding in the United States. In contrast, the living environment of wild boar is much better than that of Asian carp, because wild boar is a cash cow in the eyes of some Americans, and Asian carp has completely become a pest. Maybe someone will ask how the wild boar flooding in the United States has become a cash cow for some people. Did they start eating pork?
No, the wild boar in the United States has become a cash cow for some people because in some hunting estates in the United States, wild boar can not only attract hunting enthusiasts, but also attract a large number of tourists to visit. However, wild boars have four hooves and can run around, so wild boars that run out of hunting estates become harmful animals. For this reason, many American farmers have tried their best to destroy them, such as helicopter killing wild boars and installing traps. The final result is that the proliferation of wild boar in the United States has always treated the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Let's analyze why we can't kill wild boar from their eating habits. Americans think that pork is rich in nutrients and tastes earthy (which is of course the reason why they don't do it). They have more beef, mutton and chicken to choose from, which lays the foundation for the spread of wild boar. Moreover, some Americans are opposed to killing animals. Not long ago, we said that some Americans ran to a Chinese restaurant and cried with a chicken in their arms: The chicken is her daughter! It also surprised us. There are foreigners who don't like to eat wild things. They think that wild animals, possibly contaminated food, are unsafe to eat. In some American cultures, pork is also a food with skin color.
Let's look at the flooded freshwater fish, whether it's Asian carp flooded in the United States or carp flooded in Australia. They all eat with knives and forks in their eating habits. Eating river fish can't clean up the tiny fishbones of river fish at all, and the sea fish they are used to is not only big but also tastes better than river fish, so they won't choose to eat river fish. Culturally, they also think that river fish is cheap food, and eating this kind of meat is very vulgar and uncivilized. There is also the food safety problem we just mentioned, and foreigners will also feel that wild river fish is unsafe to eat.
There are also animals such as bullfrogs, pythons and hairy crabs. In the teachings of foreigners' beliefs, these animals crawling on their bellies are filthy food. They also think that these smaller animals will be disgusting when they make food, and they will eat animal legs or animal heads if they are not careful. We all know that foreigners are actually very timid about eating. They are afraid to look at the food and eat the bones in the meat. Others say that foreigners eat in the late stage of lazy cancer, and they only like to eat in one bite. In fact, we misunderstood them. If their food culture is as rich as ours, I am afraid there will be no problem of wild animals flooding, and we will not worry about it.
Let's look at the problem of rabbits flooding in Australia. Some netizens said: The main reason why rabbits in Australia can flood is that Australia is surrounded by the sea and has nowhere to run! It is also right for us to think about it carefully, which is consistent with the reason that Australian rabbits once exceeded10 billion. The deeper reason is not only that you can't eat or do, but also the influence of cultural beliefs. The main reason is population. If they had as many people as we do, they wouldn't have caused a large area of wild animals to flood.
In fact, foreigners' eating culture is much less than ours. It can be said that most foreigners don't pay attention to eating at all, as long as they can fill their stomachs. In the words of netizens, their minds are not used for eating at all, but for leisure or self-pursuit. Of course, giving them a hot pot at this time ensures that they can change their food habits in seconds. The main reason is that their cooking technology is not as advanced as ours.
