In recent times, the flooding of wild boars in Guangyuan, Sichuan, has attracted attention, and their presence has greatly damaged local crops.
In the township below Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, there is a villager named Andy Lau, a few years ago, due to the flood of wild boars, destroyed his own crops, so he raised 3 hunting dogs, specifically for the purpose of expelling wild boars.
But his hounds not only expelled wild boars, but also killed several precious wild impalas, which were investigated by the local police, and finally the court sentenced him:
The crime of illegally hunting and killing rare and endangered wild animals is sentenced to three years' imprisonment, suspended for four years, and fined 20,000 yuan, and 200,000 yuan for the loss of ecological resources caused by the criminal act.
On November 22, 2021, villager Andy Lau told reporters that he had paid a fine of 20,000 yuan, and the 200,000 yuan ecological resource loss fee had also paid a little.
When it comes to this matter, Andy Lau is still a little aggrieved.
He told reporters:
"I didn't mean to kill impala, the purpose of raising dogs is to drive away wild boars that destroy crops, accidentally bit the impala, and I don't want that." And before, I had no idea that the sheep were precious and endangered wildlife. ”
However, the local court held that:
Villager Andy Lau knew that the three hounds he raised had the ability to hunt wild animals, and they did not strictly regulate and allow the hunting behavior of the hounds to be allowed, which was deliberate in a broad sense. And he also took home the uneaten part of the dog and used the horn, which is enough to prove that Andy Lau has a deliberate mentality subjectively.
However, the Court also held that:
Andy Lau is not active in hunting and killing rare and endangered wild animals, but uses dogs to hunt wild animals autonomously, which is less subjectively malignant than the typical crime of illegally hunting and killing rare and endangered wild animals. He placed hunting traps next to his own grain and raised hunting dogs to drive wild animals to prevent them from nibbling on his own grain. Therefore, consideration should be given to light treatment as appropriate.
Andy Lau told reporters who came to interview on November 22: Now the local crops are much less than before, because wild boars are flooding, destroying many crops. And many villagers do not dare to keep dogs, for fear of encountering encounters like Andy Lau.
For Andy Lau's statement, some people expressed disapproval:
To put it bluntly, Andy Lau is deliberately hunting wild animals, but he does not know the seriousness of the matter, but he does not know the impala, does not know that it is a nationally protected animal, and began to set up a sheep, and directly raised a hunting dog. For mountainous areas, there are many mountain goods, just to hunt wild animals. When he tasted the sweetness, he became unscrupulous, and when something happened, he said that he had a dog to drive away wild boars.
If the wild boar destroys the crops and the state makes up for the losses, then the fine is understandable. If the state does not subsidize losses, there is no reason to punish peasant households, people's survival must still be put first, and people's right to survive is above all else.
The protection of wild animals must have a degree, and for some fertility that is seriously harmful to humans, there must be a restrained killing, so that the number of their existence is within a reasonable range. In addition, we also deeply investigate why wild animals such as wild boars frequently appear in the fields to steal and destroy crops, and find out the causes and prescribe the right medicine.
Blind protection will pay a high price, elephants move, monkeys rob property, wild boar hurt people, etc., not all animals will live in harmony with humans, and research should be increased to strictly control the number of their food chains to prevent disastrous consequences.
