The black and white giant panda is a veritable national treasure, and it is also loved by the Chinese people because of its joyful and indisputable character, and has not only become a rare and protected animal held in the palm of the hand by the Chinese people, but also scrambling to grab the lease right by many countries.
But can you believe that such a heavyweight national treasure has been brutally hunted, and this matter has to start with the sheep in captivity.
The Xihan giant panda that everyone loves
Although the giant panda has a cat in its name, it is actually a real bear with the ferocious fighting power of a wild bear.
The reason why people like giant pandas is mainly because of their joyful personality, cute appearance, and the strength of "people don't offend me, I don't offend people".
They are friendly and gentle, and in the eyes of the Chinese people, they even have the color of humility and courtesy, and under the appearance of black and white joy, they hide super combat effectiveness. As long as it is not artificially and maliciously provoked, the giant panda will always show friendliness and closeness to humans.
Giant pandas are believed to be perfectly capable of hunting and are on par with tigers and wolves, but they have evolved to choose bamboo as a vegetarian diet. In terms of behavior, killing and attacks are avoided to the greatest extent, and his temperament has gradually changed to being indisputable, and he just wants to work hard all his life, or he is hanging around.
Chinese people believe that this low-key and approachable style, which is like a "sweeping monk" in Shaolin Temple, is completely in line with China's image in the world. In addition, the giant panda is a "specialty" of the mainland, and the bamboo culture of the mainland also has a long history, representing the wind and bones. Therefore, in addition to the historical porcelain, the most profound impression of many countries on China is the joyful giant panda.
Flying disasters caused by sheep
Giant pandas are affected by their living environment and are not widely distributed throughout the country. They mainly inhabit Sichuan and Shaanxi. In 2014, a giant panda traveled thousands of miles from its habitat in Sichuan to Zhaotong in Yunnan, the first and only time that a giant panda has been found in the wild in Yunnan in recent decades.
But before the people of Yunnan had time to rejoice, the giant panda had been reduced to a pile of bones.
In recent years, some people have dared to hunt down the national treasure "Roll Out"? What is going on here? This matter has to start with the sheep raised by the Wang brothers in Longtai Village.
On December 3, 2013, the Wang brothers, who make a living from farming, found that their sheep had been bitten to death and their intestines were scattered all over the ground. They were so angry that they took their shotguns and followed them up the mountain, and the Wang brothers, with their eagle-like eyes, finally locked the suspect on the giant panda in the tree.
At that time, the giant panda was hiding in fear on the high branches of the tree and nervously observing the Wang brothers, but the giant panda did not escape after all, and was shot and killed by the Wang brothers twice.
Afterwards, the two brothers realized that they were hunting a national first-class protected animal, and they were afraid that the carcass of the giant panda would be found and then found on them. So without doing anything, the giant panda was brutally dismembered, cramped and skinned.
The national treasure was brutally dismembered and sold illegally
In order to hide people's eyes and ears, and in order to make a lot of money, the Wang brothers decided to sell giant panda meat at a high price. Soon someone heard the news, and the Wang brothers specially chose to trade with Li Moumou at 11 o'clock at night, and sold the giant panda meat and bear paws in their hands at a price of 4,800 yuan.
When Li Moumou took the giant panda meat, he was surprised and delighted, and took the meat and bear paws back to his home in Liangwan Town overnight to hide. Under the multi-faceted efforts of Li, Wang, a buyer far away in Sichuan, "took the bait", and Wang, who is from Sichuan, decided to buy the bear's paw of the wild giant panda at a high price.
In addition, the giant panda meat was also sold to Wu Moumou under Li Moumou's clever words, and after Wu Moumou, there are many buyers at the next level, and they are all complacent about buying rare giant panda limbs. As everyone knows, a huge legal net is slowly forming on their heads.
The results of the investigation were very pleasant
After all, paper can't contain the fire, and the killing of the giant panda by the Wang brothers was soon revealed. The Wang brothers single-handedly pulled a large number of people into the water, and the brothers who were the main culprits were prosecuted.
He was sentenced to 13 years in prison and 11 years in prison respectively for the crimes of illegally killing endangered wild animals, illegally selling precious and endangered wildlife products, and illegally possessing firearms.
The rest were also imprisoned for illegal acquisitions, involving a total of 10 people. During the special operation, the police seized 2 shotguns, a total of 1 giant panda skin, 9.75 kilograms of giant panda meat, 1 giant panda gall, and several leg bones, skulls, and oil.
The treatment of giant pandas is distressing and shocking to the whole country, and it is so cruel that someone should so cruelly dismember and sell the giant panda that represents China's international image. After the incident, experts and the police discussed the reasons for the exodus from Sichuan, among which the lack of food in the habitat was the most likely.
Do giant pandas also eat meat?
Whether in the zoo or in the wild, humans can always see the scene of giant pandas eating bamboo with a cute face. Don't giant pandas like to eat meat?
The Foping National Nature Reserve in Shaanxi Province has the answer, 99% of the giant panda's food source is bamboo, and it is occasionally used to beat other foods. As for what these foods are, it depends on what is around the panda.
Earlier, there were giant pandas who went to villagers' homes to steal flour to eat, and some pandas gnawed on villagers' ribs. In recent years, Li Pingping, a staff member of the Foping National Nature Reserve in Shaanxi Province, and others have witnessed the whole process of giant pandas gnawing on takin bones.
One look at the giant panda's demeanor, you can know how attractive the cow bones in its hands are. The giant panda's "bear set" that only eats bamboo not only collapsed, but was also recorded forever in the photograph. It seems that the giant pandas who are tired of eating bamboo will occasionally come to some meat "hors d'oeuvres".
Biologically, giant pandas have been selected and evolved to eat bamboo, and their stomachs have also made corresponding changes in order to be able to digest bamboo, and they can digest bamboo as a vegetarian diet well. Genetically speaking, the giant panda lost the TAS-1-R1 gene in the process of evolution, and this gene controls whether the giant panda can perceive the umami of high-protein meat food.
Unexpectedly, giant pandas parted ways with the TAS-1-R1 gene, causing them to become obsessed with bamboo for a long time and lose interest in meat. Behaviors such as giant pandas nibbling pork ribs and licking beef bones are mostly due to the choices made by giant pandas when they really have no food to eat, in order to satisfy their hunger or obtain other nutrients.
At the end of the case, the suspect appealed because the sentence was too severe, but the court rejected it. You know, giant pandas have lived on Earth for at least 8 million years, many times longer than humans. The significance of the existence of giant pandas, as well as national legislation, is unquestionable, thank you for reading.
