Ma Yun is getting together to write a text response: It's not easy to do the right thing and do things right

The media is spreading my "spend money" on hunting in England to learn "aristocratic life". Learn to be noble, I have no interest, born poor grassroots, to "aristocratic life" and no yearning.

But learning to protect the environment by hunting is true. As a member of the World Conservation Society, I have many opportunities to participate and learn the correct knowledge of nature conservation throughout the world.

That hunting study was two years ago, a field trip in Europe organized by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) (I don't know anyone who took a photo with the prey). Like most people, hunting has always been a very cruel thing in my mind, and it is the act of destroying nature, and the thought of not killing is rooted in my mind ...

Join the Global Large nature Conservation Society, I learned a lot of professional protection knowledge, for example, scientists tell about hunting is a natural protection of the necessary means, many areas of wildlife because of the lack of natural enemies, wild growth, not to carry out a balanced control of the killing of environmental damage is very large. For example, Australia's kangaroo, hare, European and American disease, Old Deer Group ... Must regularly control the quantity and eliminate the ecological redundancy in order to maintain the health of the ecosystem species system. This is science and the responsibility to protect nature.

A lot of ideas and knowledge for the people we were born at home is the first time we heard. Hunting is a professional skill, it is not only the means of close communication between human and nature, but also the important method of the transmission of human martial spirit. Many countries and regions have raised a large number of conservation funds through hunting and fishing. So the cost of these courses is really very expensive.

But to tell the truth, the hunt is not happy, in addition to experience the hardships of our ancestors hunting survival, the shooting is really bad, even if the animals must be dealt with, should not kill the tangle or will be in the heart with a long time ... Now many areas of domestic wild boar rampant, on the one hand is the ecological improvement, on the other hand, the excessive propagation of growth also to the environment to take a lot of trouble, but also have to deal with!

It's not easy to do the right thing and do things right, but it's important.
