Chinese love to eat, dare to eat, can eat can be said to be the consensus of the world, Chinese themselves also like to say that they are "foodies" to ridicule, it can be said that as long as you can take food, Chinese can make a variety of food.
But in the Northeast, there is such an animal, they are obviously firm and delicious, nutritious, widely distributed, and the difficulty of catching is not high, but the old iron in the Northeast do not dare to move chopsticks to it, but stay away, it is the Northeast pheasant, the scientific name pheasant.
So why has the Northeast pheasant not become a well-known Northeast dish, but it is unacceptable?
Northeast pheasants are actually not only distributed in the Northeast, at present they are distributed in many places across the country, I believe that friends with rural life experience have also seen the Northeast pheasant, the fields, hills and forests are the Northeast pheasants love to go.
They are smaller than most bred chickens, but they taste much better than regular chicken.
Nowadays, broiler chickens with a large number of hormones added to the process of artificial breeding and breeding are growing fast and abundant, but the taste is not very good.
Pheasants are active in the wild all year round and eat natural food, so the meat is firm and delicious, and it is perfect for making a pot of chicken soup.
Nowadays, people tend to eat green and healthy, and pheasants are completely in line with this, the pure natural growth environment makes them away from the influence of hormones, and frequent activities make them extremely high in protein.
Pheasants also do not carry viruses that humans are not immune to, as is the case with pangolins. From the perspective of nutrition and health, Northeast pheasants are also the best choice.
Moreover, the Northeast pheasant is both used and seen, the Northeast pheasant is generally well-proportioned and vigorous, and the male is like the male peacock in the zoo with gorgeous colorful feathers, so the Northeast pheasant also has the reputation of "colorful pheasant".
Due to the luxurious appearance of the Northeast pheasant, it was often regarded as a good gift in ancient times, and it was also a very face-saving thing to receive such an auspicious and delicious pheasant.
Since the appearance of the Northeast pheasant is pleasing, and the taste and nutrition are quite good, why do people not eat the Northeast pheasant when the food culture and cooking techniques are more developed today?
In fact, Chinese have always had the habit of eating pheasants. As we mentioned earlier, in ancient times, pheasants often became a delicacy for people, especially those who were high-ranking and noble, and they enjoyed eating these pheasants.
In modern times, people have lived in civilized societies for a long time, except for those who still live by hunting in very few remote areas, fewer and fewer people have access to wild meat, which also makes people miss this natural and primitive taste even more.
According to this trend, everyone should like to eat pheasants more and more, but why is the reality the opposite?
In fact, pheasants have been a frequent guest on people's tables in the last century, and rural people want to try their luck in the fields to see if they can catch a pheasant.
Especially at the end of the last century, China has made great progress in development, and people's dietary concept has changed from the pursuit of eating enough to eating well and eating healthily, and more and more people eat pheasants.
In the past, farmers caught pheasants in their spare time to catch one, but after the trend of eating pheasants in the society became a trend, some people found the business opportunities and began to make pheasants into an industrial chain, and organized to hunt pheasants and then provide them to restaurants. As a result, the number of pheasants has also been greatly reduced.
It is precisely because the number of pheasants has decreased sharply that the state can not sit still and includes pheasants in the three protected animals. The pheasant, which has become a protected animal, is no longer the same as it used to be, but walks with a swagger, and people have to retreat when they see it.
Nowadays, it is illegal to kill a pheasant, and you must be detained in a police station, and if you dare to kill a pheasant on a large scale and commercialize it, it is a serious crime.
It is really not cost-effective to go to prison for a few years for a mouthful, and let people have a tainted experience of being imprisoned in their lives. Nowadays, even if a pheasant takes the initiative to run in front of people to spread wild, people can only drive it away. The pheasant probably didn't understand how the fierce people in the past were so easy to bully now.
However, after getting the first license, farmers are also able to artificially raise pheasants, because the cost of artificial breeding is relatively low, so if any friend wants to eat a pheasant now, you can also buy an artificially bred pheasant, ** is much cheaper than before.
It's just that it's hard to say whether this "artificially bred" "wild" pheasant still tastes like that.
Some people may say that it is really unreasonable for us, as the spirit of heaven and earth, to be bullied by this pheasant. Pheasants are both delicious and nutritious, so why doesn't the country let people eat them?
In fact, the reason why pheasants are included in the three protected animals is for many reasons.
On the one hand, large-scale and high-intensity commercial harvesting of pheasants has indeed had a great impact on the ecological environment, and the intensity of catching pheasants is not in line with the concept of sustainable development.
On the other hand, the food chain is interlocked, and every failure can have a huge impact on the entire food chain. As an animal in the middle of the food chain, pheasants have medium to large carnivores that feed on them, and various insects under them.
If pheasants become extinct directly as a result of human capture, the entire upstream and downstream of the food chain is likely to be negatively affected.
Now it has been more than 20 years since the Northeast pheasant has become a three-protected animal, and although some people have taken risks to kill pheasants during this period, there are still very few people as a whole.
Coupled with the decrease in the number of medium and large carnivores, there are many fewer natural enemies of pheasants, and the living environment of pheasants is still very safe.
The reproductive ability of the Northeast pheasant is extremely strong, laying up to more than 20 eggs at a time, so that for more than 20 years, the number of pheasants has also increased exponentially, and in some places it has reached the point where it can be seen everywhere.
This shows that the implementation of the policy is still very good, and the vast majority of people respect the law and abide by the law, and live in harmony with the Northeast pheasants in accordance with the regulations, so that they can go from a vulnerable species to today's huge scale.
But the increase in the number of pheasants has also brought a lot of trouble to people, especially for farmers, after months of hard work, a group of pheasants come to waste a few minutes, and what is even more infuriating is that they can't help them.
Once in a while, it's okay, but in the long run, the economic losses suffered by the farmers will be huge.
Therefore, our policy must also be adjusted in the next few years in order to achieve a balance of interests. However, finding the right balance between these interests is not easy and requires a lot of research by policymakers.
If the killing of pheasants is directly released, then due to the spontaneity of the market, a large number of pheasant hunting industries will inevitably emerge, even if the number of pheasants is large, it can not withstand the organized large-scale killing of people, and within a few years, pheasants can only be seen in zoos and artificial farms.
But if it continues like this, there is no way, the number of pheasants is now quite large, according to the strong reproductive ability of pheasants, the number of pheasants will be extremely inflated in the next few years, and the negative impact will be more and more great.
Therefore, how to find the most appropriate degree for people to hunt pheasants in a controlled manner is a problem that needs to be solved at present.
In the past, the Northeast pheasant, which was a frequent guest on people's tables, no one dares to mess with it now, because of the change in policy, the pheasant has become a three-protected animal.
At that time, this was a wise decision, but now that the number of pheasants is increasing, it also needs to be intervened and controlled, what is the most appropriate way to do it, welcome to discuss in the comment area. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
