Why do scientists in Antarctic always slap after the seal?

There is a hidden rule for the Antarctica exam, that is, after finishing the seal, you have to slap them.

This is already a habitual movement, and even the wife of some scientific researchers complained that they returned home after the scientific examination, and the backhand of the dog slapped the dog's face.

In Antarctica, I don't know how many seals have been slapped by scientific researchers.

The picture below is a panther that has been pumped. After being drawn, it is fortunate to be photographed by scientists. Dr. Goodrian, who took the photo, said that the seal was drawn a bit depressed and lay on the ice cover for nearly three hours, but this is a necessary measure.

The explanation of a scientist is that this behavior is to prevent seals from being hunted or harmed because of too much believe in humans.

That slap is to let the seal know that humans are predators who are attentive, get close to them, just to fight them when they are the most comfortable.

If you do n’t get it, you do n’t know how to do it. If I want to protect you, I have to beat you first.

Sweden's documentary director Latve said on pushing that when he saw this phenomenon in Antarctica, he felt a little cruel and incredible.

However, scientific researchers said that the cruelty is to prevent seals from meeting greater cruelty in the future, and he also invited him to draw together because "the feel is really good."

Russian scientist Jeoski worked for two years in Endeby, Antarctica. He admitted that he had at least ten seals.

The colleagues called him "Antarctic Bear" and said that he was a sword that defended the ecological balance of the Antarctic.

But not every scientific researcher can see it. Dr. Sheldon, who worked at Mc Modo Station, said that in Antarctica, he beaten five little seals, which made him feel blame and sad.

After returning to California's residence, he had dreamed of the little seals he had fanned countless times, which inevitably woke up at night. To this day, he is still undergoing psychological treatment.

"Although it is for it, the slap is indeed fascinated on its face."

"In Antarctica, seals are top predators. In their cognition, there are almost no land creatures that can hurt them, so they are not afraid of human beings at all."

Professor Niminin, a well -known environmental scholar in Finland, said, "They may choose to get close to humans, but we cannot let them choose to get close to humans because this may bring risks to their ethnic groups."

In fact, if there is no Antarctic Convention signed in 1961, and a large number of related people, and countless slap efforts, then the Antarctic seal will be hunted like their similar type in Canada.

Canadian seal hunters have to kill tens of thousands of heads of seals every year, most of which are less than three months of seals. And in order to ensure that the fur is intact, they are not willing to give the seal a happy, but to knock on the seal head with a stick until the seal dies, as rude as the bandit.

In fact, according to the relevant provisions of the Antarctica Environmental Protection Law, not to mention stroke, ordinary tourists can not even take the initiative to approach wild animals near Antarctica, unless they take the initiative to come over to slap you. This is exactly to prevent humans from interfere with the ecological environment of the Antarctic.

And scientists come into contact with seals, mainly to engage in scientific research. The sensors placed on the seal head can help scientists understand Antarctic climate change and seals' habits. Therefore, it is helpless to expose that scientists are exposed to seals.

Animal protection organization has questioned this act. The Russians of Oriental Station refute that unless you can learn seal language and explain them to them, otherwise we will continue to slap them.

"If you make sense to me in a way that makes sense, maybe I will slap you."

After evaluating the IQ of the seal and its own IQ, the animal protection organization chose to shut up.

"If it is possible, we don't want to pump the slap of the seal," said the researcher at the University of Heerxia University in Finland, "hit them, pain in our hearts. But if you don't fight, they will never know that human beings are terrible. ","

"I just hope that all species can live on this earth as harmonious as possible, without necessary killing, disputes and violence."
