從南美洲引進(jìn)的河貍鼠在意大利北部泛濫成災(zāi),而當(dāng)?shù)匾幻虚L(zhǎng)想出了消除鼠患的新點(diǎn)子,那就是把它們吃掉。看看這些形似大老鼠的嚙齒動(dòng)物,你有胃口嗎?其實(shí)據(jù)市長(zhǎng)和一些網(wǎng)友親自嘗試,河貍鼠肉的味道比兔肉更好。但這個(gè)主意也招致了動(dòng)物保護(hù)者的批評(píng)。

As Italy struggles to deal with burgeoning populations of an introduced giant rodent, a mayor has come up with a novel solution – eat them.

從國外引進(jìn)的一種體型較大的嚙齒動(dòng)物河貍鼠泛濫成災(zāi),意大利正疲于應(yīng)對(duì),而此時(shí)一名市長(zhǎng)想出了一個(gè)新辦法,那就是,吃掉它們。

Coypu were introduced to Italy a century ago from their native South America to be farmed for their fur.

大約一個(gè)世紀(jì)前,意大利從南美洲引進(jìn)河貍鼠用于養(yǎng)殖,以獲取其皮毛。

But many escaped or were deliberately released after wearing fur fell out of fashion and the species is now thriving.

但隨著河貍鼠皮毛的衣飾不再流行,很多河貍鼠逃脫或被故意放生,現(xiàn)已泛濫成災(zāi)。

They have fared particularly well in the flatlands of the Po valley in northern Italy, where farmers complain that they devour crops and destroy levees and embankments by digging burrows.

它們?cè)谝獯罄辈坎ê恿饔虻钠皆洗笏练敝常r(nóng)民抱怨它們毀掉了莊稼,它們打的洞穴還破壞了防洪堤和路堤。

Michele Marchi, the mayor of the town of Gerre de’ Caprioli, has suggested that numbers could be reduced if only Italians can develop a taste for coypu meat. He has tried it and says it tastes a bit like rabbit.

杰雷德卡普廖利市市長(zhǎng)米歇爾?馬爾基建議說,只有意大利人肯吃河貍鼠,才有可能控制它們的數(shù)量。他自己已嘗過河貍鼠,稱味道有點(diǎn)像兔肉。

His proposal, launched on his Facebook page, has caused a lively social media debate, with some people in favour of the idea and others revolted by the prospect of tucking it what looks like a cross-between a beaver and a large rat.

這條提議發(fā)布在其臉書主頁后引發(fā)了社交媒體熱議。一些人表示贊成,而另一些人一想到要吃長(zhǎng)得既像海貍鼠又形似大老鼠的河貍鼠就感到厭煩。

“The debate about coypu has become bonkers, without coming to any resolution of the problem,” the 31-year-old mayor wrote.

這位31歲的市長(zhǎng)寫道:“關(guān)于河貍鼠的討論越來越離譜了,得不出任何可行的辦法。”

“Here’s my idea – let’s start eating them in restaurants and at village food festivals.”

“我的想法是:讓我們開始在餐館和鄉(xiāng)村美食節(jié)上食用它們。”

However unpalatable the idea, he insisted that he was not joking and said there were regions of Italy that were already warming to the idea of tucking into roast, broiled or braised coypu.

不論這個(gè)主意有多招人厭煩,這位市長(zhǎng)堅(jiān)稱自己沒開玩笑,他說意大利一些地區(qū)的居民已經(jīng)贊同燒烤或者燉煮河貍鼠來吃。

The mayor said he was speaking from practical experience, having eaten coypu meat. “It’s almost better than rabbit,” he said.

這位市長(zhǎng)說自己是從實(shí)踐出發(fā)做出的提議,他已經(jīng)吃過河貍鼠。他說:“味道比兔肉好。”

One enthusiastic backer of the idea wrote on social media: “Coypus are very clean animals and they are herbivores. I’ve tried them a few times. They should be cooked in a stew with onions or baked in the oven. I agree with the mayor – it’s better than rabbit.”

一名熱情的支持者在社交媒體上寫道:“它們是干凈的食草動(dòng)物,我已經(jīng)吃過幾次,應(yīng)該和洋蔥一起燉,或者用烤箱烤。我同意市長(zhǎng)所說的,比兔肉味道更好。”

Animal lovers were less enamoured of the idea. “Here’s another genius who thinks he can resolve a problem by killing defenseless animals. And they elected him mayor,” wrote one critic.

動(dòng)物愛好者們對(duì)這個(gè)提議有些不快。一位批評(píng)者寫道:“又有一位天才認(rèn)為可以通過捕殺毫無防備的動(dòng)物來解決問題。人們還選他當(dāng)市長(zhǎng)。”

Coypu breed prolifically, with a female capable of giving birth to up to a dozen young at a time.

河貍鼠繁殖能力很強(qiáng),一只雌性河貍鼠一次最多可以生育12只小鼠。

No one knows how many coypu there are living wild in Italy.

沒人知道意大利到底有多少只野生河貍鼠。

In the region of Emilia-Romagna alone there are believed to be around one million, while Lombardy has a population of around 1.3 million, with the regional government calling for 300,000 to be culled each year.

據(jù)信僅在意大利艾米利亞?羅馬涅區(qū)就有大約100萬只河貍鼠。倫巴第大區(qū)有大約130萬只,當(dāng)?shù)卣粲趺磕瓴稓?0萬只。

In their native range they are eaten by alligators, large snakes and eagles.

它們?cè)谀厦乐奚顣r(shí)會(huì)被短吻鱷、體型較大的蛇和老鷹吃掉。

A lack of such predators in Europe has contributed to their rapid population growth.

由于歐洲缺少這些捕食者,導(dǎo)致河貍鼠數(shù)量快速增長(zhǎng)。

They have also colonised part of the United States, with 18 states reporting significant coypu populations.

它們還入侵了美國一些地區(qū),已有18個(gè)州報(bào)告河貍鼠數(shù)量巨大。

There, too, is a debate over eating them. In Louisiana, where they have thrived in swamps and wetlands, the state’s wildlife and fisheries department suggests a range of recipes, from coypu fettucini and soup to coypu a l’orange.

美國也出現(xiàn)了吃不吃河貍鼠的討論。在路易斯安那州,河貍鼠在沼澤和濕地大量繁殖,該州的野生動(dòng)物和漁業(yè)部門向人們建議了多種河貍鼠肉食譜,有河貍鼠拌意面和鼠肉湯,還有香橙醬河貍鼠。
