Recently, a man in Qinyang, Henan Province, caught 115 geckos late at night, and he did not expect that he was also arrested.
Why was the man arrested? It is reported that the man's behavior belongs to the use of prohibited tools and methods in the game reserve and the hunting period, hunting the "three haves" wild animals that are not under national key protection - geckos.

Geckos cannot be hunted at will, so the man has been subjected to criminal coercion, and a total of 115 geckos he hunted have been released.
I believe that many people have doubts about this, is not it to catch the gecko, this is very common, some people will take it to brew medicinal wine, why go to jail?
Originally, although the gecko did not belong to rare wild animals, he belonged to the three animals. What are three animals?
Three-have animals refer to terrestrial wild animals with important ecological, scientific and social value protected by the state. In fact, in real life, many turtles, geckos, toads, etc. belong to the three animals, and even have a kind of fly, and there is a kind of ant is also a three animal, and the law stipulates that it is not allowed to hunt at will. If the illegal hunting of three animals reaches 20 or more, or if the prohibited tools or methods are used to hunt in the forbidden hunting area or during the forbidden hunting period, it is suspected of the crime of illegal hunting.
Whoever, in accordance with the provisions of Criminal Law 341, illegally hunts, violates hunting regulations, hunts in a no-game area, during a hunting ban period, or uses prohibited tools or methods, destroys wildlife resources, and if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or a fine.

Some people say that since hunting three animals reaches twenty and is suspected of illegal hunting, if I don't catch 20 animals and catch 19 animals, will I not be punished?
Xiaobian would like to say here, of course not. In accordance with the provisions of Article 45 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Wild Animals, where wild animals under key national protection are hunted in relevant nature reserves, hunting (fishing) areas, or during the period during which hunting (fishing) is prohibited, and no special hunting permit has been obtained, or wild animals under key national protection have been hunted or killed in accordance with the provisions of the special hunting permit, or where prohibited tools or methods are used to hunt wild animals under key national protection, the competent departments for wildlife protection of people's governments at the county level or above are to, The marine law enforcement departments or the relevant management bodies of protected areas shall confiscate the catch, hunting tools and illegal gains in accordance with the division of duties, revoke the special hunting license, and impose a fine of not less than two times but not more than ten times the value of the catch; Where there is no catch, a fine of between 10,000 and 50,000 yuan shall be imposed; Where a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility is to be pursued in accordance with law.
Therefore, even if the number of hunting does not reach twenty, criminal offenses cannot be pursued, and administrative responsibility must be pursued.
Therefore, for people who want to catch a gecko or toad to soak in wine and catch some frogs to satisfy their appetites in real life, do not hunt at will and be careful to face the disaster of imprisonment.

Of course, I believe that many people do not know much about the three animals and the law, resulting in breaking the law do not know, now Xiaobian science popularization of the three animals, I think most of the people who read the article have the bottom in their hearts, that is, do not hunt insects and animals in the wild at will, otherwise you catch it, be careful of the police to catch you.
