Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 431 The stray dogs felt a chill all over their bodies, and a sense of worry was about to come

The reddish-brown stray dog ​​became handsome after being washed and shaved.

There was a girl at the training center whose family ran a pet beauty salon. She helped to style the pet. The pet’s head was round and round, like a glutinous rice ball dipped in red sugar powder.

The girl named the stray dog ​​Hongmian, hoping that it could bloom like the kapok flower and have a warm and brilliant life.

Hongmian sounds like a girl's name, but it is actually a little male dog.

As if it knew that it and the puppy it picked up were saved, the first thing Hongmian did after eating was to go around the training station and the animal husbandry station. It bit more than a dozen marmots that had dug holes and brought them back. It placed them in a row on the edge of the flagpole.

"Wow, this dog is amazing. We wanted to clean up the rat holes around here before, and it took us three days to find two or three. This guy found so many in just half a day."

Chen Ying also went over to watch the fun and took a look at the place where the rat hole was.

The marmots dug so many holes that they did a lot of damage to the lawn behind the two board houses.

Around the areas where they burrow, the soil gradually becomes sandy.

Rats and rabbits are indispensable basic animals on the grassland. They are at the bottom of the food chain. Only with their existence can we have a relatively complete food chain.

But if they become too rampant, they can cause serious damage to plants and soil.

So, everything has to be done in moderation.

As the saying goes, 'a dog catching mice is meddling in other people's business', but in fact some dogs are very good at catching mice, such as Hongmian, which will never catch mice empty-handed. If they fail to catch a mouse, it is only because they are not strong enough, but it is definitely because they cannot find it.

When the other dogs, especially Red Lion, saw this, their eyes really turned red.

It also led the Paw Patrol to look for mouse holes and rabbit holes, but the success rate was about 50-50. Most of the holes they found were useless, and the marmots and rabbits they caught were all caught when they were moving on the ground.

Now with Hongmian's super-sharp nose and Hongshi's invincible hole-digging skills, in just three days, the mice and rabbits frozen on the roadside will make people sick.

Chen Ying was mainly focusing on rescuing the puppy these three days and didn't pay much attention to the other little ones. The Paw Patrol didn't quite understand what Uncle Zhaxi said.

After the competition between Hongmian and Red Lion, even Black Gold had no choice but to give up.

The only good thing about their long fight was that the two lynx cubs got to enjoy the buffet.

The two fox cubs didn't dare to eat it at first, but later they followed the two lynxes and began to be picky about their meat.

Uncle Zhaxi and two colleagues from the animal husbandry station loaded the puppies' leftover meat onto a snow sled and had the puppies drag it to a small water source about a mile away, where they placed the frozen rabbits and marmots on the grass.

After the snow melted, the grass reappeared, but the grass leaves had withered, leaving only shriveled grass roots.

This is where many animals drink water, and vultures and wolves can be found here.

The mice and rabbits that have been bitten to death can be recycled and provided as a snack for the birds and animals that are short of food in winter.

When they finished their work and returned, they saw Chen Ying lecturing Hongshi and Hongmian.

"You can compete, but don't go too far. If you do this, all the pikas around will die. What will the other animals eat? Also, if you don't eat them but still kill them indiscriminately, it will affect other animals. When they all leave, only you few will be left. Is that fun?"

The red lion barked a few times, his face full of dissatisfaction. But the red cotton was different, bravely admitted his mistake, slapped the ground and swore that he would never mess around again.

When Hongshi heard what Hongmian said, he became anxious and started yelling. The more anxious he became, the less he could express himself. The little girl was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

Chen Ying saw the smug look on Hongmian's face when she lowered her head, but he couldn't blame her for that.

If stray dogs want to survive, they have to be more careful.

Compared with Hongmian, Hongshi is a spoiled young lady who has been pampered and brought up in luxury. She has good talent, a good family background, and a bright future as expected, so it is natural for her to be simple.

Chen Ying picked up the red lion and coaxed it for a while. The lion became happy again. After getting down from the ground, it called Wangwang to play with it.

Hongmian moved her feet, but finally did not follow.

It walked to the flagpole, lay down, and slowly licked its paws.

Chen Ying would not interfere in their interactions, just like an adult would not interfere in children's fights.

However, Chen Ying did not leave Hongmian alone as a dog. He took a bag of milk and poured a bowl of goat milk for Hongmian.

"Hongmian, you said before that the pack of dogs you were with seemed to have run into a canyon, right? Do you know which canyon it is?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Nothing to do. I figured since I have nothing to do in the winter anyway, why not take this opportunity to do some minor surgery on them."

Minor surgery: ball clamping!
Hongmian didn't know what "ball clamp" meant. After hearing Chen Ying say that it was to prevent poor little guys like Xiaogouzi from appearing again, it decisively agreed to lead the way.

It is no small task to sterilize stray dogs.

It’s okay for male dogs, but it’s very difficult for female dogs.

If you want to sterilize stray dogs, you first have to bring them back and put them in cages individually, which requires sufficient space and facilities.

Generally speaking, a male dog will recover to normal within three or four days after being neutered. For a female dog, it depends on the situation, and may take at least six or seven days if the condition is complicated.

It wasn't a sudden idea for him to sterilize stray dogs. He had had this idea for a long time. Hongmian and the puppies he raised just made him decide to put his idea into practice.

Previously, when he and Dao Meihua passed by a Tibetan settlement, they saw at least a hundred stray dogs around the temple near the settlement.

I heard from the owner of a roadside restaurant that these stray dogs are extremely hungry and come to the restaurant to rummage through the garbage, making the surroundings a mess. If they are stopped, they will hurt people.

The daughter of a restaurant owner living near his restaurant was bitten by two stray dogs. A piece of flesh was bitten off from her and there are still scars on her calf.

The owner of a self-driving tour car was also bitten by a stray dog. If the surrounding herdsmen had not helped to chase the dog away, he might have been bitten to death.

Not to mention that when stray dogs are extremely hungry, they will bite and eat their own kind. The scene is more brutal than that of wild animals.

A large part of these situations are caused by humans, so as a human being, he cannot stuff the dogs that have already been born back into their stomachs, but at least he can reduce the birth of stray dogs.

After learning about Chen Ying's plan, several students from the Animal Husbandry Station and the Training Station were willing to help.

The students at the training center are not very good at catching dogs, but they are still able to feed them after catching them.

Then the post-operative care was also handed over to them.

Before catching stray dogs, they have to renovate the existing animal sheds to at least keep the dogs locked up.

The Tibetan yak calves that had been rescued previously were all kept in a large fence behind the first aid station and guarded by a nanny dog ​​and the Paw Patrol.

Several of the animal sheds for keeping calves at the animal husbandry station have roofs, and all they need is to add guardrails.

Uncle Zhaxi patted his chest and agreed to take on this job.

He drove out to find a boss he knew and asked for a truckload of used building materials. It took him two days to build the dog cage.

The entire dog cage can accommodate more than 20 dogs, and is divided into a post-operative recuperation area. The recuperation area is further divided into male dog areas and female dog areas, and the facilities on both sides are arranged according to the needs of the dogs.

When the owner of the second-hand building materials heard that the dog needed surgery, he refused to take a penny and said that he would be contacted directly if needed in the future. This is a good deed. If you dare to ask for money, his parents will beat him.

The students at the training center also contacted a volunteer organization, which will come to inspect and donate a batch of supplies to ensure the daily needs of the dogs during the operation.

Chen Ying had not originally planned to contact these organizations. In his opinion, it would not cost much money to do this, and his salary and other income would more than be enough to pay for it.

But the students at the training center advised him to accept it and to promote it vigorously. Only in this way can more people become aware of the stray dog ​​problem and more people will fund the stray dog ​​sterilization project.

Since it is a good thing, Chen Ying will definitely agree.

After Yin Li learned about this, he brought a few team members who were on vacation to help.

Two trucks towed the borrowed iron cages and drove to the place Hongmian mentioned.

The scenery along the way was completely different from that in the summer.

When passing by the mountain where Erniu was, Erniu ran down to flirt with Chen Ying. When she heard that they were going to catch the dog, she directly summoned the snow leopard to help.

"It has fought with those bad guys. If you take it with you, those dogs will definitely not be able to escape."

Erniu has never been threatened by stray dogs, but she heard from Ms. Lynx that last year two snow leopard cubs were found in their den by a group of stray dogs and were directly bitten to death and eaten because their mother went out hunting and did not return in time.

The female leopard later tried to fight with a stray dog, but lost. She left wailing and was injured. No one knows whether she survived or not.

Why is Erniu so worried about her three cubs, and why does the big snow leopard stay close to the four of them? Isn't it because these dangers may come at any time?

After walking along the canyon for a while, about seven or eight kilometers, they came to a relatively flat rocky area on the hillside and saw at least seven or eight stray dogs lying on the rocks basking in the sun.

Uncle Zhaxi and two forest rangers have been here. Just inside the rocky area where the stray dog ​​is, there is a natural cave with an area of ​​about 20 to 30 square meters.

But that cave is a little different from the caves in the inland mountains. It is more accurate to say that it is a cave formed by a concave cliff with a relatively wide opening. At the lowest point, people can only crawl on their knees, but a dog should be able to get in easily.

If you want to catch all these stray dogs, you can’t rely on brute force, you have to use your wits.

Food with the right amount of medicine is the best means.

Chen Ying pulled the snow leopard's ear and whispered for a long time, and finally told everyone to throw the meat with additives out of the car, continue driving forward, and hide behind another rocky area.

The sudden appearance of food will definitely arouse the stray dogs' vigilance. At this time, the movie star snow leopard needs to help.

Among all the meat, there was only one piece of meat that had no added ingredients, and it was smeared with the snow leopard's saliva.

After they left, the big snow leopard went straight to the scene, found the piece of meat and took it away, ate it in a place where the dogs could see it, and then showed a desire to continue eating.

These stray dogs have intelligence, but not much.

The big snow leopard had nothing to do after eating and wanted to continue. How could they possibly hold back? The big snow leopard, who was chased away by a group of dogs, went "impotent and furious" a few more times, and the effect was fully exerted.

Sure enough, after they hid, the movie star Snow Leopard came on the scene.

But at this moment, something disruptive fell from the sky.
