At the moment, there is such a saying among the people. It's okay for a tiger to eat a person, but if a person intentionally harms a tiger, then it is a proper crime.
It sounds hilarious, but it's an indisputable fact.
With the advent of animal protection laws, not to mention tigers, lions, wolves, these beasts are strictly protected, even frogs, toads, sparrows, snakes, these small animals are easily unable to move.
At the beginning of this month, a villager in Hongshou Village, Yingzhou Town, Lingshui, Hainan Province, found two king cobras (national second-class protected animals) not far from his house, and the two snakes began to rush towards his place.
Such an action really frightened him a lot, and he shouted loudly at that time. Other villagers heard the cries for help and gathered around. During this period, someone called the police, and firefighters rushed to the scene in time to deal with it.
Firefighters fork the king cobra with a tool to immobilize it. But the onlookers strongly recommended that they be killed. In the end, the two king cobras were killed on the spot. The body was taken away by firefighters.
Some people have questioned this result, arguing that the snake has been controlled and has no ability to attack, and should be released in a suitable place. Not only is it two lives, but the king cobra is also a nationally protected animal.
Others suggested that the villagers may not have a sense of protection, but the firefighters should know about it. Not only did they not stop it, but they also arbitrarily let the villagers fight snakes.
I have to say that, and I can't find much fault with it. However, by figuring out the rights and wrongs, everything will be clear.
It turned out that at the end of last month, a villager died after being bitten by a king cobra. You think, such a tragic thing happened, and the anger of the villagers against the snake can be imagined.
It is important to admit that at any time, the snake is always at a disadvantage in front of people. If people want to harm snakes, they have nowhere to hide.
Bitten by snakes, most of them are people who accidentally strayed into his territory, making him feel unsafe, so he quickly launched a deadly attack.
As a well-known venomous snake, the king cobra is absolutely discolored. His venom is so poisonous that other poisonous snakes can't keep up.
Once bitten by a king cobra, if you don't get timely and effective treatment, no matter how strong your body is, you will quickly die of poison.
Even so, people don't hurt snakes very much. Not only because snakes are protected animals, but also because of the inner awe of them.
Throughout the ages, the common people always thought that the snake was a very spiritual animal, and it was not sure that it was possessed by a fairy. In my hometown, there is a saying that you can't fight snakes in the fifth month of the lunar calendar.
Stories about snakes are also endless, and the most classic is "The Legend of the White Snake". In order to repay the grace of saving his life, the white snake transformed into a human form and married Xu Xian. not only gave birth to children for him, but also helped the people.
Such a move is a hundred times stronger than those who do not know gratitude, or even fall into the well.
Regarding this matter, the staff of the Hainan Provincial Wildlife Conservation Administration said that citizens should report to the forestry department when they find wild animals, and they should not kill them without authorization, except in cases where personal safety is threatened.
That's right, if wild animals threaten people's lives, people who fight back or even kill them out of defense are emergency avoidance, and do not bear criminal responsibility.
In addition, where wildlife causes the death of a person or the loss of the ability to work, causing difficulties in family life, an application for assistance may be made to the local competent department for civil affairs in accordance with law.
There is a saying that if there are no animals on the earth, it will become a lifeless world. So, people and animals should live in peace. If so, our lives will be better. (Text/Sun Xinhe)
