The man was attacked by a giant python, and he killed the giant python with one move, and the python meat was also divided by the villagers. So, is the man's behavior self-protection or breaking the law?
In the town of Antequla, Bohol, Philippines, a man is in a thrilling fight with a 3-meter-long reticulated python in a life-threatening situation. Borjulio Aleria, 48, was riding his motorcycle around 2 a.m. when he suddenly encountered the giant python. The python sprang out of the grass and blocked his way. Aleria wanted to stop and let the python pass, but was attacked by it.
In a life-or-death moment, Aleria fought back decisively. He grabbed the python's head with his uninjured hand, bit its neck hard, and then began to bite with his teeth, biting from the outer skin to the flesh. After a 10-minute struggle, the python finally let go, collapsed to the ground, and died. Aleiria was then taken to hospital for treatment.
However, the fight raises a legal question: is he breaking the law while protecting himself? In China, according to the Wildlife Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and related regulations, the reticulated python is listed as a national first-class protected animal. In addition, the reticulated python is protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
According to the relevant laws, private breeding of national first-class protected animals needs to have the corresponding conditions and qualifications, and obtain the approval of the relevant departments. Without approval, it is illegal to privately raise protected animals such as reticulated pythons and may be punished by law. Therefore, if the public finds a reticulated python, they should immediately notify a professional wildlife rescue agency or relevant department, and professionals will handle it properly.
But after all, although Aleria acted in self-defense when his life was threatened, did he violate the law by killing a nationally protected animal?
