Verdict! Another incident about wild animals was pronounced! According to the illegal snake hunting case heard by the Sanmen County People's Court, it is true that according to the rules for the protection of wild animals, it can be said that the judgment was not unjust. For a long time, china has been advocating the protection of wild animals, which is conducive to the restoration of ecosystems.
In addition, protecting wildlife also costs us a lot, such as establishing special habitats and enhancing species in the food chain to maintain balanced development.
The risk of catching snakes is high, and deaths are frequent
In the global scope, there are still many incidents of snake catching, if we stand in the scientific point of view, snakes are an aggressive species, although generally do not attack people. But as an "instinctive" response of snakes, when threatened, they will take self-defense attacks. So catching snakes is risky. There are also many incidents of snakes being bitten and dying in China.
For example, in 2015, Ding Shengheng, a villager in Xinle Village, Huangtuling Town, Zhuzhou You County, was electrocuting a silver ring snake at night when he was electric fishing. As a result, he was unfortunately bitten while catching the snake with his hand. Because there was no pain, Ding Shengheng did not seek medical treatment in time, and then the snake venom attacked and died on the way to Liling Xiangdong Hospital.
In 2019, after a man in Tunchang County, Hainan Province, grabbed the king cobra with his bare hands, he was accidentally bitten, and the onlookers immediately dialed 120 for help. It is understood that the hospital is a 40-minute drive from the scene of the incident, and when the medical staff arrived, the man had been poisoned and died.
This all shows that catching snakes is risky. Of course, here it needs to be explained that the Zhuzhou man electric fish itself is illegal. From the perspective of wildlife protection, electric fish and catching snakes are not enough, and as long as you do, you may be caught. Therefore, it is also true that the risk of catching snakes is high, and the frequent occurrence of deaths. Of course, there are many foreign countries.
For example, in 2021, a snake catcher in India who claimed to be immune to snake venom was bitten while helping villagers catch a snake, and he eventually died of poison on Sunday.
So, this shows that snakes are a great threat to people, and we should not touch them. Of course, this villager in Zhejiang is also strong, 3 months of catching more than 200 snakes with bare hands, there is nothing wrong, and most of these are highly venomous cobras, what is the situation?
Catch more than 200 cobras with your bare hands in 3 months and sentence to 3 years!
As we all know, cobra is a highly venomous species, and there are about 20 confirmed species in the genus Cobra globally, and most of them are distributed in Asia, Africa and other places. Most cobras are large, reaching 1.2-2.5 meters long, and cobras are also highly venomous species.
This time, Zhejiang villagers caught more than 200 cobras with their bare hands in 3 months, most of which are Zhoushan cobras, which are also very poisonous species.
How toxic is it? Zhoushan cobra, also known as Chinese cobra, also known as white-necked crow, bat snake, flat-necked snake, flat-headed snake, etc., except for a few distribution areas in northern Vietnam, most of the distribution points are in China.
The Chinese cobra is a large anterior groove tooth venomous snake, which belongs to a highly venomous species, and when disturbed, it often erects the front half of its body, flattens and enlarges its neck in an aggressive posture, and the back of the neck exposes a double-circled "spectacle"-like marking. And the release of neurological and hemocytic mixed poison, if bitten, not timely treatment will be life-threatening.
And this villager caught more than 200 cobras with his bare hands in 3 months, which was really too strong to be bitten. However, the Zhoushan cobra has been listed in the Appendix to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, which belongs to the precious and endangered wild animals protected by China's Criminal Law, so it is a crime. Therefore, Xie was finally sentenced to three years in prison, suspended for four years, and fined 10,000 yuan. Of course, this sentence is not very strong, but also because he wrote a letter of repentance and other factors.
After the incident, the public security organs released the wild snakes that survived in Xie's home. But we also said above that some netizens have different views.
Catching poisonous snakes is to eliminate harm for the people? What support?
Is catching a poisonous snake a pest for the people? In fact, it cannot be said that these poisonous snakes do exist in terms of threat level. But catching poisonous snakes may not really be harmful to the people, and this villager has caught more than 200 cobras with his bare hands and sold them within three months.
And it is not the first time to catch snakes, Xie mou is more aware of the habits of snakes, in the annual Qingming after the weather warming snakes gradually out of the action, Xie will be busy with farm work, riding an electric car around the surrounding townships, looking for snakes in the jungle by the side of the roadside of the puddle. When he sees the snake, he will slowly approach the snake, step on the snake with his feet, grab the snake's body with his bare hands, and throw it into the prepared mesh bag.
Therefore, it is completely "premeditated" to catch snakes, and many people also think that wild snakes have special effects, can be soaked in wine, into medicine, so they have bought wild snakes from Xie. So, is this for the people? It's all about "interests". Moreover, snakes themselves live in nature, and as long as you don't deliberately look for them and catch them, you are unlikely to be bitten. Generally speaking, snakes see people, as long as they are slightly frightened by a loud noise, and directly run away.
At the same time, snakes are part of the food chain, if they are caught, it is equivalent to destroying the ecology, is not a lot of people saying that there are a lot of rats around their homes? Snakes can prey on rats. Many people should also see their own neighborhood, every time they see some snakes hunting rats and sleeping, they don't see it directly attacking people. Therefore, catching snakes or catching poisonous snakes is definitely not right, and this certainly cannot be supported.
Who is that release bitten to find? The release must be placed in a desolate area, and it will not be released in densely populated areas. So, it's impossible to get bitten unless you go to find the snake yourself. If under normal circumstances, you are bitten by a snake, you can treat it in time, and the cost can also be reimbursed.
At the same time, if some large animals attack or destroy their own crops, resulting in a relationship of interest, China also has regulations, you can apply for compensation. That's the general situation.
