The octogenarian grazing 25 sheep was fined 3,000, and the hidden contradictions behind it make people think deeply!
Dear friends, let me tell you a shocking story that took place in the Ordos region of Inner Mongolia. An elderly man over 80 years old, grazing 25 sheep on his own meadow as usual, unexpectedly got into trouble. The local law enforcement officers issued a huge fine of up to 3,000 yuan to him, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow!
It is said that a group of uniformed men stepped forward and received a 3,000 yuan fine for an elderly man grazing 25 sheep on his meadow in the Ordos region of Inner Mongolia. The reason is that the old man violated the ban on grazing and grazing. It is understood that the fine for one sheep is 120 yuan, and the sum of 25 sheep is 3,000 yuan. The whole process was filmed at the scene, but worryingly, the law enforcement officers did not show any documents. Faced with the helplessness of the old man, the explanation of the town government was that "he violated the law and must be fined".
Friends, we are all ordinary people, and we must be able to feel the helplessness and helplessness of the old man at that time. For him, 3,000 yuan is by no means a small amount, but a heavy burden of life. After all, herding is his only source of sustenance. And the sudden sky-high fine undoubtedly poured cold water on his liveliness in his later years.
As soon as this incident was exposed, it caused a huge wave on the Internet. Many netizens felt that this was too aggressive and too strict, and criticized the lack of humanistic care of law enforcement officers. Everyone has questioned: The elderly are just grazing at the door, why should they be like this? When enforcing the law, should we still take into account the actual situation of the people?
Indeed, although laws and regulations are important, should our law enforcement personnel also take good control of the weak and small groups? The rules are dead, but people are alive, so can they be completely stuck to a piece of paper? There is no doubt that this old man has violated the law, but what he bears behind him is the pressure of survival that we can hardly understand.
The fermentation of the incident has not only raised questions about the impartiality of law enforcement, but also fully exposed that when environmental protection policies are implemented, they often contradict the vital interests of the grassroots people. Like this old man, there are many people who are completely dependent on herding for their livelihoods, and the new regulations have really dealt a heavy blow to their lives.
While we enjoy the convenience and comfort of city life, do we also ignore those who are in the company of nature? Their life is like the grazing of the elderly, full of simplicity and intimacy with the heavens, the earth and the mountains. Tightening environmental regulations also put them at risk of losing their livelihoods.
This leads us to ponder: have we taken the whole picture into account when solving ecological problems, and can we find the right balance between environmental protection and people's livelihoods? After all, the original purpose of protecting the environment is to ensure that everyone can enjoy a better quality of life. But if basic survival becomes a stress, then don't environmental measures lose their meaning?
Friends, of course, we have to take care of the environment, but at the same time, we also have to take care of the vulnerable groups who are in the company of nature. They should not be punished as violators, but should be given appropriate guidance and help to gradually transform and adapt to new ways of life and employment.
Rather than imposing heavy fines, it may be wiser to communicate with them, understand their demands, and then develop an environmental protection plan that meets the actual situation. Maybe you can give them some time cushion to compensate as far as practicable. Only in this way can we truly achieve sustainable protection of the environment.
You can rob it, but you have to get a penalty
In short, we should be open-minded and look at this incident with care and tolerance. Humanized policies are used to resolve the contradiction between environmental protection and people's livelihood, so that the livelihood of farmers and herdsmen is no longer in opposition to environmental protection. Hopefully, such an incident will not happen again, and the best of both worlds is the best policy. Let us work together to find a balance between environmental protection and people's livelihood with wisdom.
