Under the epidemic situation, many citizens like to go outing and camping in the countryside to breathe.
Among them, Tap Mun has become a hotspot for picnics and camping. However, the influx of large numbers of citizens has caused the scalpers living in Tap Mun to have a sharp reduction in living space, and their main food, fresh grass, has disappeared.
With no grass to eat, the cattle changed their eating habits and turned to trash cans for food.
In view of this, some Niu volunteers urged visitors to take garbage away from the island and stop feeding the cattle with human food.
Catson, a cattle volunteer, has always cared about the life needs of Tamen cattle.
She pointed out that six months ago, it was discovered that the eating habits of Tamen cattle had changed. The reason was that after Tamen became a hot spot for picnics and camping, tourists often saw rubbish left by tourists, such as masks, tissues and plastic bags with food.
In addition, the current government has relaxed the local tour for 30 people. Tourists camped on the grass and stepped on the grass, making it difficult for the grass to grow. This has contributed to the current "desertification" of the grassland, and the green scene is gone.
The cattle lost their main food, and the food and garbage left by tourists became their only food.
Catson said that tourists put garbage and leftover food in the trash can, but because there is too much trash, the trash can quickly overflowed, and they put the trash underground.
The scalpers were attracted by the smell of food in the trash can, enticing them to go to the trash can for food.
The scalpers do not know whether items are edible, and often treat plastic bags containing food as food and swallow them by mistake.
Catson pointed out that eating plastic bags will affect their health. "Cattles have four stomachs. If they eat plastic bags, it may block the passage between the stomach and the stomach, which may also cause intestinal congestion. In the long run, they It is difficult to absorb nutrients, and plastic bags may poison them and commit suicide in disguise."
She urged visitors to take their trash down the mountain while enjoying the nature.
In addition, visitors should not feed cows to human food. When camping or picnics, they should put away food and plastic bags as much as possible to prevent cattle from eating by mistake.
She also suggested that visitors should pour at least 4 to 5 liters of water on the grassland where they have been camped before leaving to nourish the grass and allow the grass to grow again.
