Happy Little Mayor

Wang Bo was stunned, this is not Peterson's horse, where is this horse?

He quickly narrowed the heart of the beast, and sure enough, a herd of horses appeared in the beast at that moment. The previous black horse was the head horse, and there were about ten horses scattered.

These horses are by no means farmed. They have no traces of humans, and they are either too narrow or too short. They are not a good choice for horse racing. There are no reins around their necks. Look at their hoofs and horseshoes.

Obviously, this is a Mustang ...

Seeing this group of wild horses, he could not care about morning exercises and breakfast, washed and drove to the veterinary, and then called Peterson: "Dude, do you know we have some wild horses here?"

Peterson had just delivered a cow in the pasture. He stroked the calf with one hand and held the phone with one hand. "What wild horse herd? You say steeds? My horse is by my side."

"Then you better hurry up to the Chinese road, um, cross from your position, you can see me."

More than ten minutes later, Peterson stood beside him, and watched with him the horses running freely in the beast.

The little king, the strong man, the queen, and the Rottweiler and sled dogs all came to the beast, and when they saw these horses, they were not surprised, and they continued to play on their own.

So Wang Bo knew that the wild horses didn't just arrive. They may have arrived two or three days ago, but they have been deep in the beast, but Wang Bo has not seen them and noticed them.

These mustangs were particularly vigilant, and when they discovered someone appeared, they migrated to the east of the beast farm and then hid behind a hill.

"Here are the Mustangs? Are there any Mustangs in New Zealand?" Wang Bo asked.

Peterson said: "Yes, in the central part of the North Island of New Zealand, there is a land called Taal Plateau, where there are many wild horses. Taal Plateau belongs to military land, ordinary people can not enter, and there are sufficient water plants, it is completely a mustang paradise It is said that according to the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the total number of Mustangs has exceeded 1,100. "

Then, he took out his mobile phone and searched Wang Bo for relevant information. These mustangs are very famous in New Zealand.

From the news point of view, there are often photojournalists and tourists flying over the plateau by helicopter. It is funny to say that the Thar Plateau is subject to military control, but people are not allowed to step on the land without permission, regardless of whether anyone has entered the airspace.

There are many pictures of these wild horses galloping on the Internet. The horse herds are hundreds of horses. When they run together, the scene reminds Wang Bo of the Simmental herd chasing the white yak.

But for Mustangs, being famous is not a good thing. After their attention, they have attracted the attention of the New Zealand environmental protection department.

Judging from the news, the New Zealand environmental protection department sent experts to study last year and found that there are too many wild horses, which has threatened the ecological environment of the plateau.

There are more than ten rare grass species on the plateau, which are being trampled by wild horses, and some wild horses are running on the plateau highway, causing traffic accidents.

Wang Bo was very strange and asked, "Why are there horses in New Zealand? These horses don't always swim? I know they can swim, but they can travel long distances like leatherback turtles?"

Peterson explained: "No, no, the ancestors of the wild horses came from farms near the Thar Plateau, some were escaped, some were abandoned, and after several generations of breeding, they became authentic wild horses."

Wang Bo said: "Wild horses are a good thing. Didn't anyone take them away? You can breed them for horse racing or agricultural horses."

Peterson reluctantly spread his hand: "Boss, it's not that simple. Wild horses are wild and difficult to tame. It's impossible to tune into usable domestic horses. As for horse racing? Come on, these wild horses have not become race horses. They I'm afraid I will feel dizzy when I go to the game! "

"So where did our horses come from? Don't tell me that I ran from the Tal Plateau."

Wang Bo is convinced that these horses were attracted by the heart of the beast farm, but the heart of the beast farm cannot be radiated far away. For example, in the town, those dogs and cats were not attracted.

There are no real Mustangs in New Zealand, only second-generation Mustangs that have been returned to their families. Except for the fact that the Tal Plateau is a military forbidden area, other local governments do not protect these Mustangs because they are invasive species.

A horse is a good thing. Even if it cannot be domesticated, it can eat meat. The horse meat is not delicious, but it is not inedible, and for hunters, it is a happy thing to hunt a tall horse.

Therefore, with the exception of the Thar Plateau, there is little chance of a wild horse appearing elsewhere.

Peterson said, "Perhaps, from which farm or family did they descend from the horses?"

New Zealand is a country that loves horses. There are many families that raise horses. The purpose of raising horses is to use horses as a companion, which can be used by adults or children to ride or train races. New Zealand has won gold medals in equestrian events at the Olympics.

However, raising horses is a hobby that costs money. First of all, there must be a large open space for horse activities. Horse owners who live in the city must keep their horses on farms in rural areas.

The staple food of horses is grass, but not weeds. Pastures are very expensive. In addition, some wheat, oatmeal, and corn flour must be fed. Occasionally, they must be taken to a veterinarian. Horseshoe repair is required. Expert training is required. All these costs add up. .

What can I do if I can't afford it? The first option is to sell, but the horse is not a dog or a cat. This thing does not have a certain economic strength and love. It is impossible to play, so the chance of selling it is very small.

In this way, there are only two ways to deal with horses, one is slaughter, and the other is secretly released to the wild. Anyway, New Zealand has a large population and there are scarce people. Some wild horses live in the wild.

Slaughter is unrealistic. In New Zealand, pets are part of the family, let alone killing their own pets is not enough to kill some unknown animals.

For example, the cat abuse case in Sunset Town has caused a sensation in New Zealand.

For another example, the Wild Horses of Thar Plateau were raging, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection decided to hire gunmen to shoot wild horses. After the news was announced, it immediately aroused the opposition of many lovers. They took collective action and protested on the highway in the plateau. After being broadcast by the news media, it attracted more attention from the public. Against the shooting of wild horses, the ruling authorities are concerned about public opinion, because public opinion is a ballot and they dare not violate it, so they asked the Ministry of Environmental Protection to suspend this hunting operation.

Strange horses are treated this way, let alone their own home? So they tend to release.

Peterson guessed that this was where the horses came from. (To be continued.)
