Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a trapping device and a trapping method for trapping pests by allowing them to enter a narrow cage by themselves.

The basic instinct of living animals to survive is to eat. For this reason, vermin (ES) such as deer become more active from dusk to midnight, when there is no sign of humans in search of food and no matter how many times humans drive them away, they are aware of the danger and are on guard. As evidence of this, warnings are being issued that this is the time of day when collisions between deer and transportation become more frequent.

It is a matter of concern that tragic accidental shooting accidents involving firearms occur every year, and one of the purposes of the present invention is to contribute to creating an environment in which such tragic accidents can be eliminated as much as possible. In addition, there are cases where unnecessary parts of Ezo deer harvested with guns are left in mountain areas, etc., and although the government has installed containers to store them, they are not used because they are difficult to transport. There are few. As a result, when the snow melts in early spring, they are discovered and eaten by bears and other carnivorous animals, causing changes in the ecosystem. Examples of the basis for this are the news that bears that should be hibernating appeared at ski resorts and the ski resorts were closed, and also that in areas with many deer in eastern Hokkaido, bears are coming out of hibernation earlier, and giant bears are The reality is that people have been witnessed and shot dead. Due to the increasing number of bears, young bears who cannot control their territory are appearing in the residential areas of Sapporo, the largest city north of Tokyo, and videos of people being attacked are shocking not only to the inventor living in Sapporo, but also to the general public. The situation is even frightening. In addition, bears, which were specialized in herbivorous food rather than carnivorous food, have learned the taste of meat due to the expansion of the deer population, and with the aim of restoring the current situation where bears are no longer exterminated in the spring and the food chain has collapsed, the population of deer that can be used as food has been increased. This can be said to be the main objective of the present invention.

Additionally, at an Ezo deer ranch in eastern Hokkaido, there were more wild Ezo deer flocking around the ranch in search of food than deer kept on the ranch, and the number of deer on the ranch increased the next morning. These facts have been reported, including the eating of bark by Ezo deer, which shows how they are unable to forage during the winter and starve.

On the other hand, considering Ezo deer as a resource, efforts are being made to expand the distribution and branding of Ezo deer meat.Specifically, wild Ezo deer are captured alive and raised temporarily on a dedicated ranch. Slaughtering in facilities has already been implemented, and as a prerequisite for deer farming, enclosure traps have been proposed for capturing wild Ezo deer alive (live capture) (see Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2). .

The enclosure trap by the Maeda Ippo Encyclopedia Foundation described in Non-Patent Document 1 involves setting up an enclosure consisting of a fence (net) etc. on a nearby mountain, and placing bait such as grass dotted around the enclosure to trap pests (ES). ), and there are trapping systems mainly aimed at preventing pests (ES) from eating the bark. In this trapping system, preferred baits (hay, beet dregs blocks, oats, livestock feed, etc.) are placed inside the fence, and the fence at the entrance is manually lowered while checking the feeding status on a daily basis. Deer are held within the fence, and five or six members use blue tarpaulins, curtains, nets, etc. to prevent them from escaping, and they are forced into the deepest, narrowest cage and captured live. However, these capture methods require a large number of people from feeding to capture, and when you consider the waiting time until the cage is driven by seko, the total labor cost is enormous. This is a method of capture that is difficult to realistically carry out in the vast Hokkaido region, as it is extremely dangerous as they become excited and may fight back.

In addition, in the "Guide to Capturing Sika Deer Using Enclosed Traps" in Non-Patent Document 3, the open type and curved type are listed as recommended capture structures for enclosure traps, and as a specific example of the open type, there is a light in the direction of travel. Based on empirical data, it is stated that the structure is transparent (allowing you to see the outside), and that, as a specific example of a curved type, it is a structure that makes it easy to corner if you go beyond it and think you can escape. There is.

The present invention was made in view of the problems described in Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2, and with reference to the structure of the recommended enclosure trap described in Non-Patent Document 3, and furthermore, the following habits of Ezo deer, so-called " Taking advantage of the two instincts of "eat to live and run away to live," we prioritize coexistence with Ezo deer (pests) and control the appropriate number of deer that appear near human settlements. To provide a trapping equipment and a method for trapping a large number of animals (ES) without any damage while minimizing labor costs.

Ezo deer (ES) usually form groups of around five to eight males, and they do not compete with other male deer except during the breeding season, and once they have finished eating, they are once again safe as pests. I always go back to it and ruminate on it. Another group appears to forage at the forage where the Ezo deer (ES) are no longer present. Mr. Kenji Sato (deceased), who built an Ezo deer farm in Ikeda Town, Hokkaido, surrounded two mountains with wooden telephone poles, and we asked him to observe the situation and decided to adopt the situation without any dispute. The inventor has confirmed the actual feeding situation. In addition, there is a video of a female deer unable to climb over a fence, with its head stuck in the fence blocking its path, with its hind legs unable to come out. Also, the behavior of deer trying to escape when the surrounding trees and ground are dug up or vegetation is knocked down. Furthermore, it has been reported that if you close the exit and try to force the deer into the area, the male deer will show hostility toward humans out of fear, and will take aggressive actions rather than fleeing.

Due to the habits of such pests (ES), it is better for humans to avoid intervening as much as possible in the process of restraining them, and in fact, they should refrain from threatening behavior.The following three points are the problems to be solved by the present invention. did.
The first point is to make the animals learn about safety and security after satisfying their basic instinct of eating and living, which is also a fundamental solution to capturing large numbers of living creatures.
The second point is to help children learn the safety of being able to freely come and go in their living areas at any time.
The third point is to utilize the survival instinct of pests (ES) to create an instant panic and create the illusion that they can escape.

The narrow-area containment system for trapping live pests (ES) of the present invention creates the illusion that the pests (ES) can escape, and is designed to attract and secure Ezo deer (hereinafter referred to as pest ES) with bait in an enclosed area (A). Then, the narrow passage zone for ecological capture (B) where they escape from the enclosure area (A), and the narrow passage zone for ecological capture (B), and the pests (ES) that escape from the narrow passage zone for ecological capture (B) are guided in one direction inside the container vehicle. It consists of a sorting area (C) for sorting male and female products and transporting them to the destination.

The enclosure area (A) consists of a fence (A1) that is high enough that the vermin (ES) cannot climb over, multiple vermin entrances and exits (A3) through which the vermin (ES) can freely enter and exit, and a vermin entrance and exit (A3). ) consists of an electromagnetic opening/closing door (A2) with a thin steel core (A21) on the inner wall surface for opening and closing (A2), and a vermin escape port (A4) located at the boundary with the narrow ecological capture passageway zone (B). A monitor (M) is installed around the outside of the enclosed area (A) to monitor the situation inside the enclosed area and open/close the electromagnetic opening/closing door (A2).

The ecological capture narrow passage zone (B) is made up of a plurality of connected narrow passage blocks (B1) that are wide enough for one pest (ES) to pass through, and the boundary with the pest escape exit (A4). Transparency that spreads as pests (ES) press their bodies in the escape direction at the entrance of the narrow ecological capture passageway zone (B) and the exit of the narrow ecological capture passageway zone (B) at the border with the sorting area (C). An irreversible one-way door (Ba) with The sides and ceiling of the narrow passage block body (B1) are covered with a semi-transparent cushioning material (D).

The sorting area (C) is a pest transport container vehicle (G) that carries vermin (ES), and the entrance to the sorting area (C) is widened by the vermin (ES) pressing its body in the escape direction. It is connected to the exit of the ecological capture narrow passage zone (B) with an irreversible one-way door (Ba), and the inside of the container of the pest transport container vehicle (G) is used to separate male and female pests (ES). A connecting partition wall (D) consisting of a male and female separating door (C1) and a translucent cushioning material (D) for arranging the vermin (ES) in one direction and protecting the body of the vermin (ES) during movement. C4).

(Capturing method)
Close the pest entrance/exit (A3) while checking the feeding status of the pest (ES) on the monitor (M). ) by panicking the pests (ES) to invade the narrow ecological capture passageway zone (B) from the pest escape exit (A4), and irreversibly destroy the entrance to the narrow ecological capture passageway zone (B). In the narrow passage block body (B1) covered with a one-way door (Ba) and a translucent buffer material (D), the robots form a line without being able to go back and cause harm through the next irreversible one-way door (Ba). The beasts are guided and captured into a container vehicle (G) for transporting animals, sorted into males and females in the container vehicle, and transported as they are to the destination.

By using the above-mentioned trapping equipment and the live trapping method that takes advantage of the habits of vermin (ES), foraging takes a long time, but the trapping process can be completed in a short time, and a large amount can be captured unharmed with minimal labor costs. It is possible to capture it.

One embodiment of the present invention will be described below using FIGS. 1 to 5.
Figure 1 is an external view of the inside of the feeding area in the enclosure area (A), Figure 2 is a panoramic view of the narrow passage containment system for trapping vermin (ES), Figure 3 is a detailed view of the electromagnetic closing door, and Figure 4 is a detailed view of the vermin (ES). A reference diagram of the area around the escape exit, Figure 5 is a detailed developed diagram of the irreversible one-way door.

As shown in Figure 1, the enclosure area (A) consists of a fence (A1) that is high enough that the pest (ES) cannot climb over, and the enclosure area (A) is made up of a fence (A1) that is high enough that the pest (ES) cannot climb over, and the enclosure area (A) is composed of a fence (A1) that is high enough that the pest (ES) cannot climb over. is placed within the enclosed area (Aa). At that time, a roof (Y) will be provided to prevent deterioration due to rain, snow, etc. over a long period of time. As shown in Figure 2, after cutting off human presence for a long period of time and repeatedly learning the freedom of movement between the enclosure area (A) and the pest habitat (GS), we examined the feeding status of the pest (ES). After confirming the potential number of animals on the monitor (M), remotely control the pest entrance/exit (A3) and close the electromagnetic opening/closing door (A2) with a slight sound. Then, the vermin (ES) was surprised by the closing sound and the fine steel core (A21) attached to the inner wall of the closed electromagnetic opening/closing door (A2), and tried to get out of the place by opening the vermin escape exit ( A4), and as a result, it invades the narrow passage block body (B1) of the ecological capture narrow passage zone (B).

The amount of food that 100 deer eat in a week is the equivalent of two regular rolls of compressed grass. Regarding this amount, we heard from Mr. Okawa, who runs a deer farm in Shinhidaka Town, that he cut only both sides of the rolled pasture and installed vinyl in an open facility with only a roof (Y) and five pillars. It is desirable to strip the area and place it in an amount that will allow Ezo deer to forage for a long period of time (2 to 3 months or more).

The inner wall of the electromagnetic opening/closing door (A2) instantly amplifies panic, and amplifying the fear of not being able to get out suddenly is the key to guiding the creature unharmed to the next narrow passage zone (B). As shown in Figure 3, for example, by arranging numerous conical thin steel cores (A21) protruding from the inner wall surface of the electromagnetic opening/closing door (A2) of the closed vermin entrance/exit (A3). , can amplify fear and promote panic. In addition, the electromagnetic opening/closing door (A2) is always open until the vermin (ES) is restrained, and when the door is closed, the lock of the spring etc. is released and a closing sound is suddenly generated, which instantly causes the vermin (ES) to become abnormal. It has the effect of increasing panic. In addition, the multiple pest entrances and exits (A3) through which pests (ES) come and go have a generous door width that is at least twice the width of the body, so that the feeding area (Aa) within the enclosure area (A) can be overlooked. It is desirable to have a form where safety can be visually confirmed.

Pests (ES) that have entered the narrow passage block (B1) of the ecological capture narrow passage zone (B) through the pest escape exit (A4) of the enclosure area (A) are removed by the irreversible one-way door (Ba). They are chased away by the following vermin (ES), and without turning back, they line up in the ecological capture narrow passage zone (B) and are restrained. In this example, at the entrance of the narrow ecological trapping passage zone (B), which corresponds to the pest escape exit (A4), and at the exit of the narrow ecological trapping passage zone (B), which corresponds to the entrance of the sorting area (C), as shown in FIG. An irreversible one-way door (Ba) as shown is arranged, a plurality of narrow passage blocks (B1) are arranged between these two doors, and the surrounding area (sides and ceiling) is covered with translucent closed foam sheet cushioning. By covering with wood (D), light is allowed in to prevent a sense of anxiety or discomfort from being seen by external pests, and the narrow passage zone for ecological capture (B) is created from the pest escape exit (A4). This makes it easier for the pests to enter the area, move within the narrow passageway block body (B1), and further enter the next vermin transport container (G). In addition, the form of the irreversible one-way door (Ba) has a space in the upper part of the door (Bb) where the head and horns can enter, as shown in Figure 5, in order to further encourage the escape instinct of the vermin (ES). It is recommended that the door body be made of a grid made of natural trees or a highly permeable wire mesh so that the front can be seen through.

Since the target for capturing vermin (ES) is not to capture one group, but to target all the groups that are foraging, it is necessary to repeat the above-mentioned capturing operation. Therefore, after capturing the pest (ES), the sensor (M) detects that there is no pest (ES) within the enclosure area (A), and the electromagnetic opening/closing door (A2) is opened by remote control. However, by repeating this process over and over again, it is possible to capture whole groups of pests that have been foraging for a long period of time intact and raise them on pastures, without incurring as much labor costs as possible in a short period of time. In addition, another group that is housed in the ecological capture narrow passage zone (B) and is waiting in the nearby living area (GS) to make sure that there are no mates in the feeding area (Aa) of the enclosure area (A). When the Ezo deer confirms this, there is no one to compete with when feeding, so they follow their long-term learning (2 to 3 months) and invade the feeding area (Aa) without suspicion.

In addition, tracking data on Ezo deer (ES) confirms that during the winter, Ezo deer travel within a radius of over 100 kilometers in search of food. During the winter, when the food is under the snow, the Ezo deer find it themselves, and as long as there is food to forage, they stay there and never leave. Furthermore, there are reports that they learn over a long period of time to always safely return to their habitat until they are captured.

As shown in Fig. 2, the final sorting area (C) is mounted on a pest transport container vehicle (G), and its entrance is connected to the last row of narrow passage blocks (B1 ), and is an irreversible one-way door (Ga). Inside the container, a protective passageway (C2) is formed using partition protection material (C3) in which pests (ES) are lined up in one direction, and each is equipped with a male-female sorting door (C1) to separate males and females. ing. The pests (ES) sorted into male and female inside the pest container vehicle (G) are protected by the partition protection materials (C3) on both the left and right walls of the protection passageway (C2) as they reach their destination. will be transported safely. In addition, the protection passage (C2) can be blocked off by inserting partition plates (C4) before and after the connecting part, making it a single cage with a narrow passage block body (B1) so that fishing can be easily lifted and lowered. is desirable.

The form and characteristics of the narrow-area containment system for trapping live pests of the present invention are summarized as follows.
・Deer trying to return suddenly have multiple entrance/exit doors (A3) closed, amplifying their impatience to the maximum and creating a temporary state of panic.
・When you want to run away, you can listen to people's voices and footsteps from outside the fence using speakers, etc. to further arouse fear and increase panic.
・When one Ezo deer finds the vermin exit (A4) and enters, the other Ezo deer follow the deer in front without hesitation.
・The Ezo deer concentrate on escaping as quickly as possible, and the vermin (ES) advances one after another into the narrow, irreversible narrow escape passageway (B), and is further pushed by the following deer without returning. They can be captured and restrained in a narrow cage mounted on a transportation container vehicle (G).

In addition, the following effects can be expected.
1. By capturing natural pests (ES) to a suitable number that is less likely to eat bark, we can prevent bark eating, reduce damage to forestry and agriculture, and accidents involving vehicles and trains, and also reduce the number of brown bears that have been increasing in recent years. It can be expected to have an effect that also contributes to suppression.
2. It is possible to capture a large amount of vermin (ES) live without relying on guns, and is expected to help prevent the shortage of hunters and accidental shooting accidents.
3. Since it is possible to provide inexpensive, high-quality wild game meat without incurring labor costs and ensuring the safety of humans during capture, it does not interfere with the daily work of agricultural cooperative members and is easily adopted as a capture trap. . In addition, since the same level of sanitary control and safety as with domestic animals is guaranteed, it can meet the requirements of the new game food culture industry, and can be expected to be branded as Ezo deer.
4. By domesticating captured vermin (ES) on pasture, it is possible to meet the market's demand for each meat part without waste, and a stable supply system for raw vermin meat is possible.
5. Summer Ezo deer antlers, which have not been able to meet the demand so far, can be exported to Southeast Asia and China as Chinese medicine. In the past, the number of Ezo deer in Lake Toya was so large that they were on the verge of extinction, so turning the area into a pasture allows for ecological control of the appropriate number of deer. The increase in the number of Ezo deer has promoted the carnivorous nature of bears, which has biased the food chain and become a nuisance.In order to control the number of brown bears that have increased, the population of brown bears can be reduced by reducing the number of Ezo deer that serve as food to an appropriate number. It has the effect of reducing
6. Currently, an increasing number of dairy farmers are abandoning farming due to the rising cost of feed, but Sika deer originally eat grass, and do not need the high-quality feed required for dairy cows.What they do need is vast amounts of land. The cost of raising personnel and barns is lower than that of dairy cows and meat production, and it can be expected to help agricultural businesses who are leaving farming because they are not bound by the time constraints that cannot be avoided with traditional methods such as milking.
