Recently, a wild wolf in Hoh Xil, Qinghai Province has become popular: because it is often fed by passing tourists and drivers, it has become "different from two wolves". It has a round body and even wag its tail and show its belly to beg for food. It is understood that along the wild roads in Qinghai, it is not uncommon to feed wild wolves, and brown bears are also fed.
In July this year, a female netizen said that she encountered a wolf begging for food while driving through Hoh Xil, so she got out of the car and fed the beef jerky for dogs to the wolf. Because the wolf was so skinny and messy, it made people feel pitiful. However, she also emphasized that it was dangerous and did not recommend that everyone imitate it.
Regarding this type of behavior, Qi Xinzhang, deputy director of Xining Wildlife Park and deputy director of Qinghai Wildlife Rescue and Breeding Center, said that wild animals should not be fed at will. Although they are willing to believe in the kindness of the feeders,Kindness needs the support of rationality, otherwise you may do bad things with good intentions.
Dai Qiang, a researcher at the Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, also has a negative attitude towards this, because such behavior may also cause animals to become dependent and produce adverse consequences.
On the one hand, this may bring dangers to the feeders, such as being suddenly attacked or being spread deadly germs.
on the other hand,It is not advisable to arbitrarily interfere with the survival laws of wild animals, because the natural ecosystem is a complex food chain. Animals grow old, get sick, die, and survive the fittest are natural laws. Even if wolves are national second-level protected animals, it is not recommended to rescue them too much.
