Four people in Guizhou were fined 200,000 for catching earthworms. Why can't they catch earthworms?
A few days ago, in Bijie City, Guizhou, the local court sentenced a case of "electric capture of wild earthworms". The four defendants were sentenced to about 200,000 yuan in compensation, and they needed to issue a public apology statement on the national media. After this case was reported by the media, it immediately caused a sensation on the Internet. Many netizens expressed their incomprehension. Because earthworms are creatures that can be seen everywhere in the wild, why should they be punished if they catch some earthworms? Are earthworms also a protected animal? Pay attention to the messenger of the singularity and get the latest scientific information. So, why is catching earthworms also punished? This starts with the harm of "electric trapping earthworms". What everyone doesn't know is that "electric catching earthworms" mainly occurs in the southern region of my country. Maybe many friends don't understand, why do these people want to catch earthworms? In fact, the answer is very simple, it is to "make money". In Chinese traditional Chinese medicine books, earthworms are also called "earth dragons". Since ancient times, people have believed that it has high medicinal value. Naturally, if there is demand, there will be a market, and there will be a group of "earthworm catchers" among the people. Don't underestimate this inconspicuous business. If you are lucky, people who electric earthworms can earn several thousand yuan a night. , which is much easier than working. As for why they choose to use "electric trapping" to catch earthworms, it is mainly because it is very convenient to do so. They just need to find an ordinary battery and put two conductive wires on it, and then they can go out to catch earthworms in the wild. . Generally, in places where earthworms move, there will be some earthworm excrement left. At this time, just insert the wire into the hole where the earthworm lives, and when stimulated by the electric current, the earthworms will climb out of the hole one after another, so that they can effortlessly Catch a lot of earthworms. Then why is there a penalty for catching earthworms? Four earthworm hunters in Bijie City, Guizhou were fined 200,000 yuan.
Actually, everyone doesn't know that although earthworms look inconspicuous, they are a kind of creatures that are very beneficial to the ecological environment in nature, because earthworms have a characteristic that they like to dig holes very much. During the process of the hole, the originally hard soil will become loose, so that the microorganisms in the soil can better decompose the organic matter and make the soil very fertile, which can play a very important role in agriculture. s help. But if people catch all the earthworms, the soil will not be able to loosen the soil naturally without earthworms. After a long time, the microbial content in the soil will decrease, and the nutrients will also be lost. As the soil quality deteriorates, the above Plants can't grow normally, and eventually, the entire area will become lifeless. It can be seen how serious the harm of "electric earthworm trapping" to the ecological environment is. In addition, for those who "electrically trap earthworms", they also put themselves in great danger when they do so. This is because the self-made electric trapping tools have great potential safety hazards. You will be knocked down by electric shock, which can be serious or even life-threatening. Including many electric traps on the market, they are generally inferior products, and most of them are of poor quality. After all, people who want to use electric earthworms to make money are generally mostly villagers in slack farming, and they will also choose to buy the cheapest ones. Electric capture tools, and cheap tools often have great dangers. If the villagers are not operated properly, they may lose their lives. This is not a joke. Let’s look at a case. In 2017, a villager in Haikou used a homemade electric trap to catch earthworms on the mountain. Because the electric trap leaked electricity, he was electrocuted and fainted. Unfortunately, he passed away. It can be seen that it is not worthwhile to sacrifice your life for a petty profit. Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of protecting the ecological environment or from the perspective of their own safety, the messenger does not recommend everyone to "electrically capture earthworms". After all, earthworms are the hero of the earth. Without earthworms, the soil will no longer be fertile, and eventually The outcome will still endanger local agriculture and cause more farmers to lose their jobs. However, the question arises at this time. Since earthworms have medicinal and economic value, why don't people cultivate earthworms?
Actually, "earthworm farms" do exist now, and the domestic artificial earthworm breeding technology is also very mature. As for why there are so many people who catch earthworms in the wild, it is mainly because it is not easy to cultivate earthworms. matter. One is that earthworms have extremely strict requirements on the environment. The soil for breeding earthworms needs to maintain a moderate humidity. At the same time, the temperature of the soil and the outside must be well controlled. The minimum temperature cannot exceed 15 degrees Celsius, and the maximum cannot exceed 30 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, earthworms will Mass death, busy work for nothing. Second, earthworms also have high requirements for food and light, which will increase the cost of farmers. If there is no stable supply channel, it is difficult for earthworms to survive. Therefore, compared with the high cost of raising earthworms, people also It is more inclined to do "no capital business" and go directly to the wild to catch earthworms to save money and effort. It is precisely because of the complicated process and high cost of raising earthworms that few people cultivate earthworms. On the contrary, more and more people catch earthworms. Of course, the messenger here does not recommend that everyone catch earthworms. Illegal behavior, once caught, will face a huge fine of hundreds of thousands, so friends, please don't take any luck and do behaviors that damage the ecological environment and wildlife resources, otherwise, it will inevitably result in pay the price. I am the messenger of singularity, follow me, the next issue will be more exciting
