The police in Shawan, Xinjiang raise geese to maintain stability. Are geese more vigilant than dogs?

Answer: In the minds of many people, goose is just delicacy. In fact, this is an underestimate of the value of the goose. ?

Goose is a commendable assistant in the military and police circles. Geese have sensitive hearing and alert habits, and are energy-free radars. When geese encounter strangers or other animals, they will immediately scream to the alarm and make flying and pecking gestures.

In 390 AD, the city of Rome was captured by the Gauls, and the Roman army retreated to the Capitoline Mountains. One night, the Gauls climbed mountains and made a sneak attack. That night, the Roman soldiers were all asleep due to exhaustion, and even the dogs did not notice the enemy. At this critical moment, dozens of geese in the barracks that were to be sent to the temple to dedicate the goddess the next day flapped their wings very sensitively and screamed "quack", finally waking up the Roman defenders. The soldiers immediately defeated the incoming attack with weapons. enemy. Later, the Romans could not forget the life-saving grace of geese and regarded geese as spiritual birds. The Roman Senate, an authoritative group, even made a rule prohibiting the killing of geese. ?

At all times and in all over the world, the contributions made by the police goose are well-known. In modern times, trained police goose patrols have appeared abroad. These well-trained geese are very vigilant and will squawk at the slightest disturbance; then they will gather together and peck at the intruders, playing a patrol and defense role. In 1986, the 31st Air Force Defense Command of the United States established a new special forces unit, the Goose Soldiers, which were deployed at dozens of military bases and performed patrol and alert missions together with sentries. These police geese are tall, have long necks, can bite people, and have very keen hearing organs. They will scream immediately at the slightest danger to alert patrol sentries to pay attention. ?

As early as ancient times, our country had an indigenous method of raising geese to prevent snakes. Su Dongpo, a great writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, recorded it in "Notes on Qiuchi": "Goose can detect thieves, and it can also catch snakes, and its excrement kills snakes. When Shu people raise geese in their gardens, the snakes will go away..." Until now, in southern my country, This native method is still used in mountainous areas to prevent theft and repel snakes.

PS: Zhang Quansheng, captain of the Anjihai Squadron of the Traffic Police Brigade of Shawan County Public Security Bureau, said: "Goose is the best among poultry. They are very vigilant and have very keen hearing organs. They will squawk at the slightest disturbance. Geese are very brave. When they see strangers entering the house, they will open their wings and scream to attack. To some extent, they are easier to use than dogs. For a dog, an intruder can poison the dog by throwing medicine buns, but if there is a group of geese, the eyesight is poor at night, and the intruder cannot feed the geese with medicine, so it is difficult to put them down.
