Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 524

Richard's move is not aimed at Japan.

He is active in Florida, Norway, and Iceland, and has even been arrested and imprisoned for this reason. Almost every year, he spends a period of time in the detention center.

A dolphin put in the right place can make them a million dollars a year. If you interfere, they will break your hand.

My colleagues, Jane Tipson and Jenny May, all died because of this. At that time, we protested the hunger strike to stop the dolphin trade in Norway. On the tenth day, I passed out and ended up in the hospital. Then Jenny died. became their target, followed her to the beach and strangled Jenny to death with her belt.

My God.

Mugalen was speechless, but respected the old man in front of him.

Just like the previous street interviews, in Richard's view, the slaughter of dolphins in Japan is just the behavior of a few small towns and the government.

Japan is not always like this for wild animals. Its area is much smaller than Sichuan, but there are 800,000 wild boars, more than 4 million deer, 30,000 bears, and 150,000 large mammals alone. Monkey, the numbers may be unbelievable, but they are.

Bi Fang explained to Mu Jialun: There are not 20,000 black bears in the whole of China, but in Japan, an island country, there are more than 30,000, so many that need to be controlled by humans, so there are many deeper reasons for Japan's massacre of dolphins. reason.

With so many black bears, it may not be enough to kill a hundred of them.

The eating habits of the Japanese are a bit different among the major developed countries. Most of the other developed countries are continental countries, and the central country also has large pastures. The meat in these countries mostly comes from cattle, pigs and other livestock.

Due to Japan's small land and many volcanoes, it is an inevitable choice to ask for food from the sea.

Even though the economy developed later, imported meat increased, and the proportion of fish was much lower than before modern times, it still occupies a more important position in the diet of the Japanese than in other countries.

Under such an environment, the Japanese themselves have a different concept from most people about the behavior of catching sea fish and sea beasts.

For fishing there are fishermen, Japanese and dolphins, just as hunters and wolves.

There is even a little difference. In the past, hunters killed wolves to protect deer, but now the Japanese kill dolphins to protect what?

Protect the sea that they themselves have been fishing for?

Obviously he killed all the deer by himself, and then turned around to kill the wolf, saying that the wolf killed all the deer, so it is unethical to control the number of wolves?

Richard felt that the Japanese did not realize this, like a child who broke a vase but refused to admit it, insisting that his cat broke it.

Some people say that if you eat beef and mutton, you have no right to accuse dolphins or other animals of being killed. This is wrong. After all, livestock and wild animals are different.

Humans breed livestock, make contracts with them with feed, and collect their meat, even solidified to the extent that one catty of meat equals several catties of feed. This is a plantation-style equivalent exchange.

But wild animals don't owe you anything. There are always animals that are not suitable for eating due to various reasons such as population size. Human beings now have the responsibility to actively maintain ecological balance, because human beings have evolved too much in the past 100 years. Soon.

Driving along the Panshan Highway into the mountain, I saw something shot down and pulled back.

Wild animals can no longer rely on high mountains and dense forests to protect themselves.

It's the same at sea, as you can see from the novel Moby Dick, in the past, catching a whale was a life-saving one. It was a hymn to human hunting, a proof of courage, and a game between creatures.

This is the normal hunting relationship on the real food chain.

Now driving a big ship, it is easy to catch up, kill him with one shot, and lift him up with a crane. Not to mention disembowelling, if necessary, a production line on the ship can be directly made into cans.

The Faroe Islands, as Denmark's largest fishing ground, live a good life with a per capita income of 70,000 U.S. dollars by relying on commercial fishing such as herring and mackerel.

But even so, the locals still haven’t given up on the tradition of killing whales. They use it as a gimmick to train teenagers to practice courage, and wantonly carry out activities to hunt cetaceans.

There are news reports condemning it almost every year. The year before last, because whaling made too much noise, more dolphins were killed in retaliation...

The reason why it is called retaliation is because they have a criminal record. In 2012, due to dissatisfaction with the EU's mackerel fishing quota, Iceland and the Faroe Islands disregarded ICES's suggestion and arbitrarily increased their mackerel fishing from 630,000 tons to 800,000 tons.

It was the same situation this time. In previous years, the massacre of a few hundred dolphins suddenly increased to 1,428 dolphins this year, and a large number of dolphins that could not be eaten in time were thrown into the trash can for no reason.

If human beings let themselves eat whatever they want, it will be easy to kill any species.

In the past, it was enough to have a mouthful of food, but now the average annual income of the Japanese is 40,000 U.S. dollars, and they want to spend all of it from cetaceans, which is a bit too much.

The change of food ethics is a long-term process, and some foods that we took for granted before will be gradually removed from our diet.

Foods that are not prohibited by law can be chosen based on personal knowledge. It does not have to be one size fits all, and there is no need to force others to be consistent with yourself.

However, as a human being, when enjoying the meat filled with feed and the chemicals created by polluting nature, we should be kind to nature within what we think is reasonable and within our capabilities.

Mugalen understood it: One is greed, the other is not willing to admit mistakes, the third is destroying nature, and the fourth is bloody massacres. It's strange, they are quite capable.

That's right. Richard confirmed.

If it wasn't against the law to kill me, they would have done it.

Thinking of the two companions who were still lying in the hospital, everyone couldn't help but nodded.

Richard sighed: Maybe everything is my fault, because the show Dolphin Story has created this billion-dollar industry, and the show has inspired people's desire to swim with dolphins and touch them. ,kiss.

No. Bi Fang shook his head, You don't learn from Ma Zhe at first glance. According to historical materialism, as long as dolphins are still smart and have performance value, this industry chain will appear sooner or later. The difference is only sooner or later.

The car quickly passed the town hall, and after confirming that no one followed, it came to the foot of a remote barren mountain.

Mandy opened a black bag, in which dozens of raincoats of different colors were neatly stacked, picked out camouflage colored raincoats and distributed them to everyone, taking advantage of the heavy rain, no one went out, and all went up the mountain.

The heavy rain made the road in the mountains very muddy. Jarrett almost slipped and fell, but fortunately he was helped by Mugalen behind him.

You two are too old, you should stay in the car. Mugalen pointed to Jarrett and Richard.

Richard shook his head, how could he be absent?

Jarrett can't do it either: Our equipment is limited. I have to observe the entire bay before I can decide where to place the camera. Otherwise, I won't be able to shoot a qualified documentary.

The more dirt on the feet, everyone felt that their shoes were at least twice as heavy. Mandy accidentally stepped into a quagmire, and when he pulled them out, the shoes were gone.

Bi Fang poked for a long time with a pathfinding stick before he fished it out.

My God, I don't want to wear them anymore. Mandy held up the muddy sneakers.

Bi Fang said: If you don't want to wear it, you can go barefoot. If you don't want to be bitten by some strange insects, or scratched by a sharp stone, a lot of blood will flow out, and finally invaded by germs. First, the wound will fester, and then the entire sole of the foot They all started to swell and eventually became bloated and bruised and eventually had to have the entire calf and even the thigh amputated.

OKOK, please stop talking, I still want my legs.

Mandy repeatedly begged for mercy, washed the mud in the shoes with mineral water, put them on the feet, and supported each other to move on.

Not long after walking, a yellow iron plate blocked the way of everyone.

It reads: Watch out for falling rocks., Beasts infested.

The iron sign was so big that it blocked the entire way, and beside it was a barbed wire fence full of iron thorns, spreading all the way to the edge of the nearby cliff.

Richard said with a wry smile: If it doesn't rain, there will be fishermen patrolling the nearby mountains with knives. This is still a national park. Those fishermen told me: 'If this thing gets out, we will be finished.' They said it themselves.

Bi Fang touched the iron spikes, walked up the cliff next to him, and then pulled everyone across the line of defense one by one.

After passing through the layers of trees, through the gaps in the trees, everyone finally saw a bay surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Is this Dolphin Bay?

Bi Fang and Mu Jialun looked at the shallow bay below the mountain. The coastline was only tens of meters long, with low mountains on both sides, but it was such a narrow and short coastline, where thousands of dolphin carcasses lay. .

Dolphins will always come to Taiji Town along the migration route, which has not changed for thousands of years, and fishermen only need to wait for their self-casting nets.

A dozen fishing boats lined up, and they lowered some long poles with flanges on the ends into the water, and hammered the heads, which created a wall of sound.

They took advantage of dolphins' sensitivity to sound to drive hundreds of them to shore.

They were all running for their lives, from the wall of sound.

After entering this bay surrounded by mountains on three sides, as long as the last exit is blocked with a fishing net, no dolphin can escape.

Every year during the dolphin season, this shallow bay turns blood red.

It is a real blood red, without any exaggeration. From the satellite, it can even be clearly seen that this bay has turned into a red spot.

Dolphins not selected by the aquarium, regardless of size, are all killed.

The massacre at Dolphin Bay was a clever massacre, and its brilliance lies in the fact that it was a massacre that cut off the inheritance.

It will kill all the dolphins who are terrified and aware of the cruelty and evil of humans, so that the dolphins still naively think that humans are their friends, and thus fall into the trap again and again.
