Three people were transferred to the prosecution for hunting and selling thrushes, and one was punished by the police for purchasing. The reporter learned from the Baohe Branch of the Hefei Municipal Public Security Bureau that since the beginning of this year, the bureau has carried out a special operation to crack down on illegal crimes that destroy wildlife resources, conducted many inspections of various flower and bird markets in the jurisdiction, cracked two cases of endangering precious and endangered wild animals, rescued a total of 84 wild thrushes, and transferred them to animal protection agencies.

In March this year, the police of the Public Security Brigade of the Baohe Branch of the Hefei Municipal Public Security Bureau discovered in their work that some people in the first market of the jurisdiction may be breeding and trading thrushes, a national second-level protected animal, and there is a suspicion of endangering precious and endangered wild animals.

Based on this clue, the Bureau organized a police force to carry out investigations. After careful investigation, the police basically determined the identity information and foothold of the relevant personnel in the market, and then launched an arrest operation, arrested the suspect Fu Mou, and brought the seized 80 wild thrushes back to the police station.

In September this year, the police successfully arrested Wu Moukun, who was on the line of Fu Mou, in Lu'an City. After interrogation, the criminal suspect Wu Moukun repeatedly illegally hunted more than 100 thrushes in the Dabie Mountain area of southern Anhui, some of which were sold to criminal suspect Fu Mou, and illegally profited more than 3,000 yuan.

In June this year, the Baohe police received a report from the public that someone had illegally bought and sold wild animals in a flower and bird market in Baohe District, Hefei City. Just when the suspect Li was preparing to sell the thrush again, he was arrested by the public security organs on the spot, and 4 thrushes were seized at the scene.

At present, two cases of endangering precious and endangered wild animals have been transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution in accordance with the law, one person has been punished by the police for purchasing thrushes, and 84 rescued thrushes have been transferred to animal protection agencies. The police remind that the thrush is a national second-level key protected wild animal, and raising, capturing, and buying and selling thrush will constitute a violation of the law, and if the circumstances are serious, it will be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law.
