Australia is flooded with goats. Where do so many sheep come from, why don't the locals eat them?

> > Can you believe it? Australia is suffering from a biological invasion at a time when other countries fear the animals are on the brink of extinction. Forget about the flood of kangaroos and camels, China's endangered species of wild goat, has also begun to flood in Australia, Chinese foodies sent out soul torture: Why don't they eat it? In Australia, there are so many crayfish that they climbed onto the highway and were rectified on the spot by the locals, which can make Chinese foodies in a hurry, and hares have been killed in large numbers in Australia. One wave after another, according to statistics, a total of 4 million wild goats are destroying the ecological environment of Australia. So, where did so many sheep come from? Why don't the locals eat it? >

Let's talk about wild goats in Australia. Because wild goats like to uproot herbs when grazing, it will lead to bare grassland and aggravate soil desertification. Therefore, wherever they go in swarms, no grass grows, and their destructive power is comparable to locusts. Chinese foodies bluntly said that if wild goats dare to show off their power in China, they will be eaten to the point of death in minutes. But the fact is that there are not many wild goats in China, and they are mainly concentrated in sparsely populated areas such as Xinjiang and Gansu. At the same time, due to the delicious meat and horns of wild goats, which are regarded as treasures, they have been illegally hunted in large numbers and have fallen into an endangered situation. . Statistics show that when the number of "wild goats" in Abyssinia was at its lowest, there were only about 300 left. So why are there so many wild goats in Australia? Let's look down.

You may not believe that a country known as "riding on the back of a sheep" has a headache because of the infestation of wild goats. This country is Australia. According to statistics, there are 8,000 wild goats in the Murray Sunset Park in Victoria alone. So, where did so many wild goats come from? Wild goats are different from ordinary goats. They live on mountains with an altitude of 500-6000 meters. Except for male old goats who like to live alone, they basically live in groups. They have excellent balance ability and can jump from one rock to another steadily. On a rock, young male ibex will use force to fight for the right to reproduce for themselves.

As early as the 18th century, there was no wild goat species in Australia. At that time, the British brought wild goats here as prey and food. Later, some wild goats ran out of the sheepfold and reproduced on their own, which made the group of wild goats small. Later, people here found that sheep could bring them greater profits, so they abandoned wild goats one after another. Goats basically have no natural enemies in Australia, and the environmental climate here is very suitable for them to grow. Over time, wild goats will reproduce unscrupulously. However, are Australians who don't know how to cook lamb, or can't make roasted whole lamb? Such a delicious wild goat, why don't they eat it? Let's look down.

do you know? Every year Australia is either tackling the problem of bioflooding, or it is on the way. No, the camel problem has not been solved yet, the wild goats are flooding again, and even a helicopter needs to be hired to shoot them, and the war between people and sheep is imminent. Chinese foodies are in a hurry, why don't Australians eat them or export them to other countries?

In fact, Australia's population is only 25.76 million, and many of them are vegetarians, which makes them less effective than China in eating mutton. In addition, Australia itself is a big exporter of mutton, and there are many farms that specialize in raising meat-eating sheep, so even if you don’t eat wild goats, you can still eat delicious lamb; another point is that wild goats are vigorous and difficult to hunt. Stuttering, wasting a lot of human, financial and material resources.

It is understood that the Australian government spent 70,000 US dollars to hunt down only 459 wild goats. The more important point is that wild goats live in the wild for a long time, and they will carry a variety of bacteria and viruses. Australians with great wealth are naturally reluctant to risk disease to eat wild goats. The way to eat it will not work, the government will naturally think of other ways.

In order to solve the problem of the flood of wild goats, some people have proposed to release a few wild Siberian tigers, but if the Siberian tigers flood again, wouldn't it be more troublesome? Therefore, Australia can only take the method of accelerating vegetation replanting. Although it can cure the symptoms but not the root cause, it can also solve the immediate problems.
