"Net Red Live BBQ Great White Shark"
Continues to spark heated discussions
(Point me review)
There is news that said
The great white shark was purchased online
Who the hell is selling Jaws?
In the live broadcast, for the source of the great white shark, the Internet celebrity claimed to have "purchased from legal channels" and marked "artificial breeding". (Obviously not the truth)
For the online shark purchased from JD.com, JD.com responded that the great white shark purchased by the Internet celebrity "Tizi" was not sold in JD.com. After inquiring with a number of relevant law enforcement agencies, the great white shark was purchased and sold for other online shopping platforms.
The Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, also issued a statement saying that the expression "Net Red 'Tizi' purchased great white sharks from Jingdong" was inconsistent with the facts of the case, and the relevant results were subject to the investigation of the public security department.
According to an earlier report by the surging news, the anchor bought a great white shark from the owner of a Fujian aquatic product store on Taobao, the anchor is an old customer of the store, and the two sides have other contact information, not from the Internet to place an order. The reporter contacted Taobao, as of press time, has not received a relevant response.
Cobras, baby fish, crocodiles...
Multiple e-commerce platforms sell "wild game"
The specific online store is not known which online store is selling great white sharks, but the reporter's investigation found that many merchants on the current e-commerce platform sell live animals or "wild meat" into the trend, baby fish, turtles, crocodiles, and even cobras.
For example, the reporter noted that many merchants on the e-commerce platform claim that there are ocelots for sale, and ocelots belong to the second-level protected animals in the "List of Wild Animals under National Key Protection".
There are also individual merchants selling cobras. According to the "List of Wild Animals under National Key Protection", many populations of the cobra family belong to the national second-level protected animals. According to the pictures or descriptions displayed by the merchants, it is difficult for ordinary consumers to determine whether the cobras sold on the e-commerce platform belong to the above-mentioned protected animals.
Even the sika deer, which has now been included in the National Inventory of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources, the wild population is still in the List of Wild Animals under National Key Protection and belongs to the first-class protected animals. However, at present, many online stores selling sika venison do not indicate whether the sika deer (meat) sold is artificially farmed or comes from wild populations.
Similarly, there are baby fish, turtles, etc., and the wild population of baby fish and turtles belong to the national second-level protected animals. Some analysts pointed out that whether the live animals sold by these e-commerce platforms are artificially farmed or wild, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. It is not excluded that some people illegally sell after poaching in the name of "artificial breeding".
According to the provisions of the Wildlife Protection Law, for wild animals and their products included in the list, special labels may be directly obtained on the basis of artificial breeding permits, in accordance with the annual production quantity verified by the competent departments for wildlife protection of the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and sold and used with special labels to ensure traceability. However, at present, many merchants do not have a "bright certificate" on the sale page.
Wildlife crime is a crime of buying and selling
On the mainland, wildlife crimes are the same crime of buying and selling, and according to the type and circumstances of the animals sold, they constitute different crimes and correspond to different punishments. But the reality is not optimistic, even under such "high pressure", there are still many e-commerce companies that are eager to move, regardless of relevant laws and regulations, and practice their "selling", which shows that there is another root behind it.
Leng Dong, a lawyer at Beijing Langkong Law Firm, said that although there are laws and regulations prohibiting the consumption of wild animals, the law focuses on the illegal hunting, killing, acquisition, transportation and sale of wild animals and their products, and does not provide specific penalties for simply participating in the consumption of wild animals, and does not include the behavior of "eating wild animals" in the scope of crime and prosecution.
Therefore, some people in the legal circles have called for first of all to increase the intensity of supervision and law enforcement, increase the cost of violating the law, and let those merchants suspected of illegally selling "wild meat" gain more than they lose, so as to set an example. At the same time, it is necessary to re-examine the impact or "criminal responsibility" caused by participation and simple participation in the consumption of wild animals, and say "no" to them in the form and means of the rule of law according to the motives of the situation, so as to make the bad custom of indiscriminate consumption of wild animals a history.
