548. Lingquan upgrade (4/5)

Wang Bo was stunned for a moment. This was not Peterson's horse. Where did this horse come from?

He quickly narrowed the heart of the field. Sure enough, a herd of horses appeared in the field at this moment. The black horse was the first horse, and there were about a dozen horses scattered.

These horses are by no means grown by artificial means. They have no traces of human beings. They are either too narrow or too short or too strong. They are not good choices for horse racing. There are no reins on their necks. They look at the hooves they spread, and they do not hit horseshoes.

Obviously, this is a Mustang...

Seeing this group of wild horses, he didn't care about morning exercises and breakfast. After washing them, he drove to the stadium and called Peterson: "Man, do you know that there are some wild horses here?"

Peterson had just finished delivering a cow on the ranch. He stroked the calf with one hand and held the phone with the other, "What kind of wild horses? You said horses? My horse is by my side."

"Then you'd better get to this side of China Road quickly, well, cross from your location and see me."

More than ten minutes later, Peterson stood beside him and stared at the horses running freely in the stadium.

The little king, the sturdy man, the queen, Rotweiler and the sled dogs all came to the stadium. When they saw these horses, they were used to it and continued to play with their own games.

So Wang Bo found out that the wild horses were not just here, but they probably arrived two or three days ago, but they were still in the depths of the stadium, and Wang Bo had never seen them and had not noticed them.

These wild horses were particularly alert. After they found that someone appeared, they migrated to the east of the stadium and hid behind a hill.

"Are these wild horses? Are there any wild horses in New Zealand?" Wang Bo asked.

Peterson said: "Yes, in the central part of New Zealand's North Island, there is a land called the Tal Plateau, where there are many wild horses. The Tal Plateau is a military land that ordinary people cannot enter, and there are sufficient water plants. It is a completely wild horse paradise. It is said that according to the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the total number of wild horses has exceeded 1,100."

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and searched Wang Bo for relevant information. These wild horses are very famous in New Zealand.

Judging from the news, photographers and tourists often fly over the plateau in helicopters, which makes them funny. The Tar Plateau implements military control, but it is just that people are not allowed to step onto the land without permission, regardless of whether anyone invades the airspace.

There are many pictures of these wild horses galloping on the Internet, which are very spectacular, with hundreds of horses running together. When they run wildly, the scene made Wang Bo unable to help but remember the scene of the Simmental cattle chasing white yaks.

However, for Mustangs, becoming famous is not a good thing. After their attention has increased, they have attracted the attention of New Zealand's environmental protection department.

According to the news, last year, the New Zealand environmental protection department sent experts to conduct research and found that the number of wild horses was too large, which posed a threat to the ecological environment of the plateau.

There are more than a dozen rare grass species on the plateau, which are being feasted and trampled on by wild horses. Some wild horses even run on the highways on the plateau, causing traffic accidents.

Wang Bo was very surprised and asked: "Why do there be wild horses in New Zealand? These horses can't swim, right? I know they can swim, but they can travel as long distances as leatherback turtles?"

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

Wang Bo said: "Wild horses are good things. Didn't anyone take them away? You can choose to breed them, make horse racing or farm horses."

Peterson spread his hands helplessly and said, "Boss, it's not that simple. The wild horses are very wild and difficult to tame. It is impossible to train them into available domestic horses. As for horse racing? Please, these wild horses have not become the blood of horse racing. They may be dizzy when they go to the stadium!"

"Then where did the horses we have come from? Don't tell me who came from the Tal Plateau."

Wang Bo firmly believed that these horses were attracted by the heart of the stadium, but the heart of the stadium could not radiate far away. For example, in the town, those dogs and cats were not attracted.

There are no real wild horses in New Zealand, only the second generation of wild horses made after the family horses return to their ancestors. Except for the reason why the Tal Plateau is a military forbidden area, other local governments do not protect these wild horses because they are invasive species.

Horses are good things. Even if they cannot be domesticated, they can eat meat. Horse meat is not delicious, but not edible. Moreover, for hunters, hunting a tall horse is very pleasant.

Therefore, except for the Taal Plateau, there is little chance of wild horses appearing in other places.

Peterson said: "Perhaps, from which farm or family are they descended from horses?"

New Zealand is a country that loves horses. There are many families raising horses. The purpose of raising horses is to use horses as a companion, which can be ridden by adults or children, or to train horse racing. If you can raise a horse that wins the bid, you can also gain both fame and fortune. New Zealand has won gold medals in equestrian competitions at the Olympic Games.

However, raising horses is like raising a car, which is a very expensive hobby. First of all, there must be a large open space to provide horses. Horse owners living in cities must keep their horses in rural farms.

The staple food of horses is green grass, not wild grass. Forage is very expensive. In addition, some wheat, cereal, corn flour are also fed. Occasionally, they have to be taken to the veterinarian to repair the horse's hooves and ask experts to train. All of these costs add up to a lot.

What should I do if I can’t afford to raise it? The first choice is to sell it, but horses are not dogs or cats. This thing does not have a certain financial strength and love, so it is impossible to play with it, so the chance of selling it is very small.

In this way, there are only two ways to deal with horses. One is to slaughter and the other is to secretly put them in the wild. Anyway, New Zealand is vast and sparsely populated, and there are some living areas for horses in the wild.

Slaughtering is unrealistic. In New Zealand, pets are members of the family. Not to mention killing their own pets, they can’t even kill some animals they don’t know.

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

For example, wild horses were raging on the Tar Plateau, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection decided to hire gunmen to shoot wild horses. After the news was announced, it immediately attracted the opposition of many horse lovers. They took collective action and raised signs to protest on the highway on the plateau. After the news media reported it, it attracted the attention of more public people. According to the public opinion survey, most people opposed shooting wild horses. The ruling authorities were concerned about public opinion, because public opinion is votes and did not dare to disobey, so they asked the Ministry of Environmental Protection to suspend this hunting operation.

This is how strange horses treat them, let alone their own homes? So they often release animals.
