Chapter 572 Arresting Borson Guy
The cicadas were chirping desperately, the sun was scorching outside, and the shadow of the eaves fell on the ground as sharp as a knife.
Takeshi Gouda stood by the window and pulled at his collar. The air conditioner repairman had not arrived yet. After only ten minutes, he could no longer bear the heat. His saliva stuck in his throat like glue. The office was as stuffy as the steamer in "Journey to the West" where the monsters steamed the fat monk.
There was a knock on the door, and the team member standing at the door said, "Team Leader Gouda Takeshi, someone wants to see you."
"who?"
"Chief Executive of Taiji Town, Kiyonaga Matsumoto."
"Do I know him?"
"Director Matsumoto asked us for data on hunters who have passed the hunting season a few days ago."
"oh!"
As soon as the team member said this, Gotada Takeshi recalled some of his memories. He quickly walked back to his seat, cleaned up the office desk briefly, wiped the sweat off his face, and nodded: "Please ask Director Matsumoto to come in."
After a moment, Gotada Takeshi stood up to welcome him: " Hey, Director Matsumoto, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? How is it? Have you read the information from last time? Do you have any questions? Nagano, pour Director Matsumoto a cup of tea."
Matsumoto rushed all the way from the subway station. He didn't even have time to rest and went straight to Gouda Takeshi. He didn't even have time to drink water. He was sweating all over. He thanked Nagano and gulped down a whole glass of water . Then he recovered: "I'm sorry, Team Leader Gouda, I won't say any more polite words. There is no problem with the information, but how much do you know about Bosen?"
"Oh, that's the second-ranked hunter. Do you have any impression of him?"
"Yes." Gotada Takeshi nodded. He was the one who confirmed the list of contestants, so of course he had an impression of it. Moreover, he was the second place winner, so he could almost recite it by heart.
"Berson Guy was born in Minnesota, USA. He has held a professional hunter license for more than 30 years. He enlisted in the army when he was young and performed well. He retired ten years later. He has worked as a truck driver, hunter, archer, actor, singer, sailor, engineer, farmer, and has hunted more than 15 black bears and brown bears. It's a pretty good resume."
Bosen's career is extremely diverse, with a span so wide that one even suspects it is fake. This man in his fifties has extremely rich life experience.
After registering, he quickly attracted the attention of the reviewers and was included in the list. When Gouda Takeshi saw it, he readily agreed.
Thinking of Matsumoto's previous behavior and the fact that he rushed here in such a hurry, he knew that he would definitely not do it without a purpose. Gotada Takeshi pondered for a moment: "Is there something wrong with him?"
"I can't be sure, but there's a high chance." Matsumoto Kiyonaga didn't dare to say anything definite. He asked Gouda Takeshi, "Do you know Tiangra?"
"Tiangra? What is this?" Gotada Takeshi was confused.
Matsumoto Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department didn't know this either. He explained with a little pride: "This is a multinational company..."
At this time, Nagano brought a second glass of water. Matsumoto Kiyonaga took it with a smile. This time he did not drink it all in one gulp, but held it in his hand and sipped it in small sips.
Without utilization, there is no protection.
This is Tiangra’s company purpose and their long-standing external declaration.
From this point of view, it is even similar to what Bifang said in an interview program half a year ago.
Commercial hunting protects wildlife.
This view was briefly explained by Bifang, and behind it is a systematic chain of relationships.
Matsumoto Kiyonaga took out his mobile phone, clicked on a video, and showed it to Gouda Takeshi.
In the Paleolithic Age, when the human species was just born, agriculture had not yet appeared. As an omnivorous species at the top of the food chain, humans relied on hunting and gathering to survive and develop. Like other powerful species at the top of the food chain, humans were just a part of nature.
In the process of hunting, intelligent humans invented spears and bows and arrows, which led to the emergence of the habit of survival through group cooperation and laid the foundation for modern civilization.
It was at this point that humans completely became the overlords of nature, and their relationship with wild animals was a very direct food chain relationship.
Species above the surface depend on predation on species below the surface for survival and continuation.
In the Paleolithic Age, humans had absolutely no concept of wildlife protection.
But through repeated trial and error, humans instinctively understood that they should not over-hunt and gather.
Firstly, there are no good storage conditions to preserve the excess harvest, and secondly, it will bring unnecessary trouble to the next hunting.
There are two most intuitive evidences on this point.
First, the domesticated species such as pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep that humans can see today were formed in the Paleolithic period, and the domestication process was a way of "protecting" animals.
Domestic animals such as pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep have become the most numerous mammals in the world because their value makes humans willing to keep them in captivity.
Second, after studying the Paleolithic tribal civilizations that still exist in contemporary society, it was found that they consciously protected the healthy reproduction and continuation of the population in their living areas.
This awareness of not over-exploiting is the beginning of animal protection awareness, and this practice is creating conditions for better sustainable utilization in the future.
If the farming season is not violated, there will be an inexhaustible supply of grain; if the nets are not used in the pond, there will be an inexhaustible supply of fish and turtles; if the axes are used in the forests at the right time, there will be an inexhaustible supply of wood. If there is an inexhaustible supply of grain and fish and turtles, and an inexhaustible supply of wood, then the people will be able to live and die without regret.
To maintain good health and to die without regrets is the beginning of the kingly way.
Mencius explained this principle thousands of years ago.
A series of more complex changes followed, with the animal husbandry-agriculture model replacing the hunting-gathering model. Human survival no longer depended on the direct use of wild animals, and the direct relationship between the upper and lower levels of the food chain began to loosen.
Later, the emergence of metallurgical technology led to the large-scale use of metal farm tools, a qualitative change in farming efficiency, and more and more human groups began to completely get rid of the direct use of wild animals.
Humans have completely become the only species at the top of the food chain, and there is no wild animal that humans cannot hunt.
Humans began to focus on the efficiency of obtaining meat, and large-scale animal husbandry replaced hunting. The main purpose of hunting was no longer just for food.
The wheel of history continued to roll. From the 15th to the 17th century, the Age of Exploration arrived, giving rise to great geographical discoveries and great exchanges of species.
With the emergence of potatoes and sweet potatoes, the more efficient animal husbandry-farming model further squeezed the remaining hunting-gathering model, and the bond between humans and nature became blurred.
Humans began to separate themselves from wild animals . Humans lived in towns, while wild animals occupied jungles. The food chain relationship between the two disappeared, and they no longer reproduced in the same area. The boundaries between their territories were clear and they no longer intersected.
The wheel stayed until modern times.
Human beings have become a species that completely relies on the economy and society to survive and develop. As modern agriculture and animal husbandry become more and more developed, ordinary people no longer need to use wild animals. Therefore, the value of their existence has fallen again and again, and they have completely become the stimulation pursuit and aesthetic hobby of the rich.
Ordinary people can take practical actions to deal with the rising price of pork, but they will not pay any attention to what the rich like.
The words in the video stopped abruptly, and Gotada Takeshi pressed the pause button. He was already very patient: "What does Director Matsumoto want to say?"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga sat upright: "I would like to ask you to agree to suspend the hunting season and allow me to arrest Bosen Guy!"
