Speaking of Qingdao,
There is never a beautiful scenery,
In the sea of the trestle, thousands of gulls dance together.

Recently, in the Zhanqiao Scenic Area,
There was a very discordant scene.
A man grabbed a seagull with his bare hands and posed for a friend to take a picture.
Despite the seagull's struggle, it is still unable to get rid of the man's control,
Finally, the man picked up the crumbs on the ground and fed them before releasing them.
Seeing this scene, netizens could not sit still.
"Qingdao welcomes you, but does not welcome visitors who do not love animals"
"The quality is too low, and the punishment should be"
In response to this matter, the staff of the Zhanqiao Scenic Area also responded:
Discouragement in the face of such uncivilized behavior,
If you do not listen to the advice, you will report it to the police,
Patrols will be stepped up.
Xiaobian checked the information and learned,
Qingdao has been "keeping seagulls" for 26 years,
Since 1994,
Qingdao took the lead in carrying out the "Operation to Retain Seagulls" in coastal cities.
After years of protection, the habitat environment of Birds in Qingdao has been significantly improved.
The population of seagulls exceeds 20 species and the number exceeds 100,000.
There are three main species of seagulls that spend the winter in Qingdao every winter.
The smallest individual red-billed gull,
Medium-sized black-tailed gulls and individual largest silver gulls,
In addition, a small number of gray-backed gulls and black-billed gulls occasionally see activity.
From two thousand to 100,000,
Seagulls have long been a business card of the island city.
However, it is probably not enough to rely on people's self-awareness.
Every year at the two sessions, a number of deputies and members put forward motions or suggestions.
Call for an early enactment of an Anti-Cruelty To Animal Law or an Animal Welfare Act.
At present, more than 100 countries around the world have enacted the "Prohibition of Animal Cruelty Law",
The value of animal life has gradually been recognized by law.
And in recent years,
Calls for severe punishment for harming seagulls have been high.
In order to prevent the reappearance of "hot hands destroying gulls",
Let us pay attention to and promote the establishment of the Animal Cruelty Act.
Xiaobian also hopes that everyone can watch the gulls in a civilized way.
Preserve this unique landscape by the sea.
Keep the seagulls, start with me!
