A popular mountain scenic spot in Sichuan Province allows visitors to chase after wild boars (野猪) and even take them home for free if they can catch them with their bare hands.
四川省一个受欢迎的山地风景区允许游客抓野猪,如果他们可以徒手抓住它们,甚至可以免费将它们带回家。
Photos and videos of people seemingly enjoying themselves while running after full-grown boars and trying to catch them with their bare hands recently became popular on social media, causing many to wonder if the photos were genuine, and if so, what could make people risk their lives like that. As it turns out, this has been a very popular activity at the Jiuhuang Mountain Scenic Area since at least 2013, and no serious injuries have been reported since. Some sources report that when the Jiuhuang Mountain scenic spot introduced the bizarre activity, not only did it allow people to take home the animal they caught completely free, but also rewarded them with a prize of 10,000 yuan . The monetary incentive was canceled at some point, but visitors can still walk away with the boar they manage to catch.
最近,人们追逐成年野猪并试图徒手抓住它们的照片和视频在社交媒体上流行起来,这让许多人怀疑这些照片是否是真的,如果是真的,是什么让人们冒着生命危险这样做。事实证明,至少从2013年起,这在九皇山风景区就成为了一项非常受欢迎的活动,自那以后没有发生过严重伤害的报道。有消息称,当九皇山景区推出这一奇葩活动时,不仅允许人们免费将捕获的动物带回家,而且还奖励他们1万元。金钱奖励在后来被取消了,但游客仍然可以带着他们抓到的野猪离开。
Getting to take home your catch is nothing to scoff of, but it doesn’t sound like the kind of prize people would risk their lives for. However, the Jiuhuang Mountain Scenic Area website clarifies that the wild boars aren’t really that wild. They are second-generation boars raised in captivity (圈养) and have no very long teeth. That means their violent instincts are considerably suppressed (抑制) and they can’t really attack people even if they wanted to. Still, there is a degree of risk, just not the kind of danger associated with fighting against wild boars.
把钓到的鱼带回家没什么可嘲笑的,但这听起来不像是人们愿意冒生命危险去争取的那种奖励。然而,九皇山风景区的官网澄清说,野猪并没有那么野生。它们是圈养的第二代野猪,没有很长的牙齿。这意味着它们的暴力本能被大大抑制了,即使它们想攻击人,它们也不能真正攻击人。尽管如此,还是有一定程度的风险,只是不是与野猪搏斗相关的那种危险。
Apart from paying the fee to be allowed to chase after wild boars at Jiuhuang Mountain, the only other rule appears to be using only your hands. Female pigs with piglets ( 小猪 ) and young boars under 30 kilograms cannot be “collected” as prizes.
除了要交钱才能在九皇山抓野猪外,唯一的规则似乎就是只能用手。带仔猪的母猪和30公斤以下的小猪不能作为奖品“收集”。
