Changling Street in Huangpu District has carried out an investigation and removal operation, calling on donkeys to walk on foot
New Express News reporter Lin Gangwei reported that pedestrians walking on the mountain road were arrested by the beast clip "biting" the foot of the thing from time to time, recently some netizens reported that in Guangzhou Huangpu District Niumu North Line (hiking route) along the cloth of a number of traps, there are safety hazards. The New Express reporter learned from Changling Street that on the afternoon of January 14, the Changling Street Safety Management Office, together with the Huangpu District Reservoir Comprehensive Management Center and the Changping Community Volunteer Service Team, went to the relevant plots to clean up illegal traps.
According to a video circulated online, in the trees along the north line of Niumu in Guangzhou's Huangpu District, some traps were buried in sand and looked very hidden. When a mountaineer finds a trap, he triggers the trap with a branch and then clears it.
Niumu North Line is the first national mountaineering fitness trail in Guangdong Province, a section of the Changling National Mountaineering Fitness Trail, why is there a trap buried? Director Peng of the Huangpu District Reservoir Comprehensive Management Center (hereinafter referred to as the "Center") in Guangzhou told reporters that after preliminary research, the location of the incident was the lotus forest and bamboo forest (fire belt) plot near the Weisuifeng Power Station of Muqiang Reservoir, not on the trail, but in its surroundings. "It's close to the reservoir, the environment and location are good, and there are wild animals from time to time." He speculates that poachers therefore laid traps here.
It is reported that the screening activities on the afternoon of January 14 cleared a mouse trap. But there have also been traps here before, and Director Peng told reporters that in November 2019, they cleared 8 traps.
Changling Street staff said that every weekend, Changling Street will carry out the "Qing" Mountain Ranger Party Day theme activity at the Changling National Mountaineering Fitness Trail, after which the removal of traps around the trail will be included in the activity to create a safe hiking route. Changling Street will join hands with the Huangpu District Reservoir Comprehensive Management Center in Guangzhou to increase publicity efforts to remind residents not to place traps on the mountain to hunt wild animals, and also hope that citizens and mountaineering enthusiasts will walk on the trails and do not go to the wild to prevent the arrest of animal clips.
