In August, 20021,Zhuhai Intermediate People's Court filed a public interest lawsuit against three shops that sold a large number of electric earthworm devices online. The first instance ruled that the merchants selling electric earthworm devices apologized to the society and compensated the ecological environment for nearly 2 million yuan.
"Crazy" people use electric worms and electric fish to eat or sell, while those who use electric worms are totally for profit, because earthworm, commonly known as earthworm, has been a traditional Chinese medicine in China since ancient times. At present, one kilogram of dried earthworm can be sold to 30 yuan. Although an average of about 7 kilograms of fresh earthworms can produce one kilogram of dried earthworms, the technology is better for people who use electric earthworms, and there is no problem with hundreds of kilograms (fresh) a day, while an electric earthworm machine can't cost 1000 yuan.
Electric earthworms, like electric fish, catch earthworms in batches with instruments. When using electric fish, the fish will float on the water after being electrocuted, while when using electric earthworm, the pole is inserted into wet soil. How do earthworms come out?
I wonder if my friends have found a phenomenon: Earthworms can often be seen on the ground after rain, and some earthworms can only return to the soil after being dried. In fact, earthworms appear on the ground after rain because their breathing relies on slippery mucus on the body surface to dissolve oxygen in the soil. When it rains, the soil water content increases and the oxygen content decreases, and the earthworm will climb to the ground to breathe.
In fact, the same is true of electric earthworms. Electrification in the soil will electrolyze the water on the surface of earthworm. Without water as a medium for dissolving oxygen, earthworms will become difficult to breathe in the soil and instinctively climb out of the soil. At that time, people who electrify earthworms can pick up earthworms in droves.
Like the electric fish, once the positive and negative poles of the electric earthworm machine are inserted into the soil, earthworms of all sizes will break out of the soil and be caught in the net.
Earthworms don't protect animals, so why do electric earthworms break the law? This is a problem that many people don't quite understand. Even people who electrocute earthworms don't think their actions are illegal. So why is electric earthworm illegal? This is because there are many crises hidden behind profiteering. Let's talk about it from the following three aspects:
First: the means are unreasonable.
We are all familiar with earthworms. When I was a child, when I went fishing in the river, I usually dug a few out of the wet soil on the shore to fish. This kind of behavior is no problem, because it is a reasonable means to use wild animals.
However, it is illegal to sell and use tools to shock wild animals, and under the electric shock, it is not a few earthworms that suffer, but one earthworm dies, which violates the premise of sustainable utilization of wild animals.
Second: the role of earthworms.
Although the earthworm is small and unremarkable, it is called "the most valuable animal in the world" by Darwin, because there are nearly 7,000 different kinds of earthworms in the world, which are all over the land soil of all continents except the cold zone.
In soil, earthworms can use animal manure, decaying leaves and even soil as food, which is a process of transforming organic matter into inorganic matter. Plants can't grow without inorganic matter, so it is with the existence of earthworms that nutrients in natural soil will continue.
Secondly, earthworms like and are good at digging holes, and their active channels extend in all directions under the soil, so that the soil is not hardened, the water permeability and air permeability of the soil are increased, and plants can grow better.
Plants are the most important and lowest creatures in the food chain, and animals are born with them. So earthworms can be said to be the cornerstone of ecology. Once the electric earthworm can be seen everywhere, it will disappear in a large area, leading to the decrease of plants and even soil desertification.
Once plants have problems, animals in the upper reaches of the food chain will be affected. Most importantly, electric earthworms completely destroyed the earthworms in this area, so this destruction is irreversible. What's the difference between killing rabbits, pheasants and herbivores who are protected by the state?
In addition, there are not only earthworms but also many invertebrates in the soil. This method of electrifying earthworms actually killed all living things in this area.
Third: safety.
Although the output voltage of electric earthworm machine is very low, its internal normal voltage is very high. It is possible to get an electric shock when using this instrument in a wet place, and once you get an electric shock, this "sneaky" thing will basically not be discovered, so once you get an electric shock accident, there is almost no chance of survival.
For example, on 20 17, a villager in Haikou bought an "earthworm instrument" online. He was filled with joy and just found a place on the river bank to prepare for a big fight. As a result, he shivered as soon as he inserted the positive and negative poles of the instrument into the soil, and finally the villagers were electrocuted. There is more than one such incident. A villager surnamed Zhu in Xuzhou also had an accident when electrocuting an earthworm with a dragon, and eventually died. In a rage, his family took the business selling earthworm appliances to court.
Although earthworm is not to protect animals, people can make rational use of it, but there is a premise of "rationality", and this method of electric earthworm is obviously contrary to "rationality", and it will also cause irreversible damage to the natural ecology, which is obviously a problem that people who electric earthworm have not thought about and will not consider.
But no matter what the consequences are, the green mountains and green waters of later generations have become barren hills and stinking ditches. If every generation is so selfish, how far can mankind go?
Therefore, no matter for protecting the ecological environment or for human health, electric earthworms should not appear again.
Earthworms have feed, medicine, value and benefits, and people will naturally catch them. Electric earthworm is the fastest way to get it, so some people flock to it.
Earthworms are not protected animals of the country. China has a vast territory, so it is useless to catch a small amount of earthworms. However, if a large number of electric earthworms are caught, it will have a disastrous impact on the ecosystem and the fertility and structure of the soil will deteriorate. Earthworms are praised by natural experts as underground workers who protect the ecology.
Killing earthworms seems to be low investment and high return, but its destructive power far exceeds imagination. Earthworms play a very important role in the earth's ecosystem. Earthworms can transform microorganisms or corrupt animals and plants in the soil into nutrients that can be absorbed by plants under the action of various enzymes in the body, and play the role of natural fertilizer. In addition, the daily activities of earthworms can loosen the soil, which is more conducive to plant growth. Adding some earthworm manure to the soil can effectively prevent diseases and insect pests and reduce the incidence of plants.
If the earthworm is electrocuted, it will lead to the large-scale disappearance of the earthworm in the whole area, and it will also lead to the death of other organisms in the soil, which will have a negative impact on the local ecosystem. Therefore, please take good care of our ecological environment and don't kill earthworms in a large area with power grid.
Therefore, if it is used as a medicinal material and needs a large amount, it can be cultivated artificially.
Earthworms not only contain high protein, but also are indispensable additives in feed and have high medicinal value. Rural areas are generally dug to feed chickens and ducks, and also used for fishing. When I was a child, I knitted bamboo barbs, crushed earthworms, wrapped them in mud, put them in the ground after dinner and took them back the next morning. Each inverted beard basically has loach and yellow owl. Especially after knowing the medicinal function of earthworms, more people dig earthworms, and some people start to raise earthworms to make money. Earthworms have become an industry. Not only do people keep earthworms, but now there are professional households keeping leeches.
There is no law and order under profiteering.
You heard me right! "Electric earthworm"! The daily income can reach hundreds of thousands. About two years ago, I saw this video. A young man shared such a "business opportunity" through video. I saw the young man holding a charging device similar to the electric fish device, and then went to the Woods to insert the positive and negative electrodes into the soil. After a while, a large number of earthworms broke out and the young man picked them up. Through this equipment, dozens or hundreds of kilograms of earthworms can be caught every day. It is said that the profit is very considerable, and one kilogram of dried earthworm can be sold at the price around 30 yuan.
Why are electric earthworms so rampant? As the saying goes, there is no business without demand. There are also many people who operate electric worms by stealth, because they can receive hundreds of thousands of profits every day. Earthworms can be used as feed and have certain medicinal value, so it also urges some people full of interests to try their best to obtain benefits. I didn't know that such consequences would cause serious damage to the soil!
Earthworms do not protect animals, but they play an extremely important role in soil and plant growth! It can turn some useless garbage, rotten branches and leaves, plant debris into nutrient-rich soil, making the soil more loose. Its excrement is also an organic fertilizer, which is also good for plant growth. The biggest benefit of earthworms to the soil is that they can improve the structure of the soil and maintain the fertility of the soil for a longer time.
The final conclusion is: 1, it is not advisable to make huge profits by electric earthworms, which will not only destroy the soil, but also destroy the ecological balance! I also hope that such behavior has clear prohibition norms.
2. Those who want to make a fortune through earthworms can get rich through breeding, and many people get rich through breeding earthworms.
It is everyone's responsibility to protect the harsh environment and ecology. We can't ignore the future ecological environment of future generations for our own selfish desires. So we hope that this kind of thing will not happen again.
In the face of profiteering, few people dare to forget the law and take risks.
