Chapter 1456: Difficult Questions

Father Yang has a good eloquence, and he described the process of a coyote attack on a young man who was illegally selling drugs as if he had witnessed it vividly.

Zhang Zian listened with gusto and asked, "How did you know so clearly what happened just yesterday? Do you usually listen to overseas radio stations?"

Father Yang shook his head, "No, there happened to be a priest who knew him in the neighborhood where the young man lived, and I heard him tell this story, and I heard it relayed."

"Oh……"

Zhang Zian generally understands that although it sounds weird, there are often such people who are devout and religious while doing illegal activities in the United States. I don't know how they deal with God's teachings and their own crime balance between.

"Is that person okay afterwards?"

"It's okay. After the coyote ran away, he reluctantly picked up the gun that he dropped. He expected that the gunshots might have been heard, and the police would arrive soon. He simply bandaged his wrists and slipped away." Father Yang replied.

Unlike the employees of Binhai City's waste collection station, the stories told by the priests will not be too exaggerated, and should be very close to the truth.

"Coyotes have spread to such an extent, and no one cares about it?" Zhang Zian said with emotion, this is because the national conditions are different. If it was in China, there might have been riots in the city long ago.

Father Yang is very sorry, "Things are not as you imagined, there are always voices of opposition, and these coyotes should come out of the forest park, the source is in the forest park, but in the forest park, hunting coyotes Coyotes are illegal — not only that, even in downtown San Francisco, it’s illegal to shoot or poison coyotes.”

"Uh……"

Zhang Zian was speechless.

The United States is generally regarded as a country with the rule of law. Respectable people are unwilling to take the risk of doing illegal activities, otherwise sky-high legal fees and jail time are waiting for you, and non-decent people...don’t care about the threat of coyotes.

So it is impossible to poison coyotes with drugs such as isoniazid.

It is unrealistic to expect them to find their conscience and leave on their own. It is indeed a headache.

Father Yang said: "In my opinion, there are two feasible ways, either to find the source of the coyote's temperament mutation, or to introduce the natural enemy of the coyote. The former is not easy, and the latter is also not easy, and the effect is slow."

"The natural enemy of the coyote?"

Father Yang nodded,

"The biggest natural enemy of coyotes is not humans, but their close relatives, gray wolves. Gray wolves in North America have been almost wiped out by humans, so the territory of coyotes continues to expand, from Mexico to the Arctic Circle, from as small as gophers to as large as Elk, they prey on. Previously, the northern river valley of Yellowstone Park was also plagued by the presence of coyotes. Later, scientists reintroduced the gray wolf, which had disappeared from the local area for a long time. Gray wolves would prey on coyotes, just like coyotes would Like preying on pet dogs, coyotes were completely driven out of the northern valleys after a while."

This can be regarded as a biological control method, but the coyotes were expelled. The problem is that gray wolves have been attracted... There are more gray wolves than coyotes.

As for the source of the coyote's mutation...

Zhang Zian wasn't sure, but maybe it wasn't the sudden change of temperament that caused them to start attacking adults, but some other factors.

If those factors are not eliminated, even if the gray wolves are used to drive away the coyotes, the gray wolves may be the next one to go wrong.

"What do you guys think about the reason for the sudden change in coyote's temperament?" he asked.

He felt that Father Yang's trip to the United States might have something to do with coyotes, but he didn't want to understand why the priest should come forward to do this kind of thing. It should be a matter for biologists.

Father Yang said cautiously: "It is still not clear that food poisoning, water pollution, environmental drastic changes, disease factors, and human stimulation may all have similar effects on the coyote population. We need to investigate carefully before we can draw conclusions... Sorry, If I say this, will it affect your interest in traveling?"

"That's not true, I think it's quite interesting." Zhang Zian said with a smile.

"In fact, in San Francisco, as long as you don't go out at night, it's relatively safe. You don't have to worry too much. Just be careful when you leave the city to play in surrounding areas, and try to avoid single-person actions to avoid unnecessary accidents. Father Yang warned kindly.

"I see, thank you."

The conversation between them came to an end as the stewardess came to deliver the food with a dining car.

After the meal, they felt drowsy, and they took a nap again. Although they continued to talk after waking up, they didn't mention the coyote. The experience of traveling to Egypt picked some as a response.

Before I knew it, the long flight was nearing its end, and San Francisco was in the distance.

The plane began to descend, and a brown earth appeared at the end of the endless sea.

Overall, it was a pleasant flight experience. Although there were no high-quality stewardesses, and there were no young beauties sitting next to her, it was not lonely.

Intentionally or not, Zhang Zian and Father Yang did not exchange contact information, because both of them knew that if they wanted to find Father Yang after returning to China, they could just go to the church in Nancheng District of Binhai City, but for Zhang Zian, who does not believe in religion, Said, there seems to be no need to go to church.

So they all thought that this pleasant conversation was their first and last.

After picking up the luggage and leaving the airport, Father Yang politely asked Zhang Zian if he wanted to take a car to the city.

Zhang Zian saw someone driving to pick up Father Yang. They were two foreigners. Judging from their temperament, they seemed to be traveling with Father Yang.

He felt that this was inconvenient, as the family members might have something private to say, so he politely declined the invitation and chose to take the cheap MRT.

In order to save money on this self-funded trip, he didn't choose to stay in a convenient but expensive hotel in the city center, but booked a slightly more remote homestay online in advance through Airbnb. It took a lot of work to choose a house. The general principle is that the location can be remote and the room can be small, but there must be enough privacy and you cannot live with the landlord.

After connecting with the landlord and checking in, he checked the room and felt satisfied, so he released the π that needs to be written every day, so that he can continue to write, and temporarily leave the other elves in the phone, otherwise he will not want to sleep.

After tidying up a bit, he threw himself on the bed, called the Matthew Davis Foundation to confirm that he had arrived in San Francisco and would attend their celebration, and then fell asleep, trying to reverse the jet lag as soon as possible.
