Recently, the Nanjing Yuhuatai District People's Procuratorate prosecuted the first case of illegal sale of bird-catching spiders in Nanjing in accordance with the law. After the suspect Xiao Kai became obsessed with bird-catching spiders, he continued to buy and sell, until he learned that bird-catching spiders have been listed as protected animals, and then out of fear, he wanted to sell all the bird-catching spiders in his hand, but he did not expect to be seized by the police. Recently, Xiao Kai was indicted by the Yuhuatai Procuratorate for the crime of illegally selling rare and endangered wild animals.
Since watching the movie "Spider-Man", the young Kai has admired Spider-Man and liked spiders, especially the larger bird-catching spiders in adulthood. He searched for targeted searches on the Internet and bought a variety of species, such as African orange babo bird catching spiders, sapphire gorgeous rainforest bird catching spiders, Indian gorgeous rainforest bird catching spiders, yarn curtain gorgeous rainforest bird catching spiders and so on.
At first, due to lack of experience, the bird-catching spiders raised by Xiao Kai often died. Later, he continued to learn about the origin, characteristics, habits, feeding methods and other knowledge of different species of bird-catching spiders on the Internet, and the survival rate of bird-catching spiders was getting higher and higher.
Because of the relationship of funds, Xiao Kai constantly sells the bird-catching spiders he raises in exchange for funds and then buys new varieties. In this way, Xiao Kai successively purchased forty or fifty bird-catching spiders, with 20 or 30 varieties.
At the end of 2019, Xiao Kai learned from the Internet that bird-catching spiders are listed as protected animals and cannot be bought or sold. At that time, he still had 6 different species of bird-catching spiders in his hands, and worried about accidents, he hung them on the Internet in early 2020 and wanted to sell them all. On June 22, 2020, the police searched Xiao Kai's residence and seized 1 bird-catching spider in the gorgeous rainforest of the curtain and 2 bird-catching spiders in the gorgeous rainforest of India.
After review in accordance with the law, the Nanjing Yuhuatai District People's Procuratorate determined that Xiao Kai knew that the spiders raised were rare and endangered wild animals under national key protection, and still sold them to others, violating the relevant provisions of the law and constituting the crime of illegally selling rare and endangered wild animals. Recently, the Yuhuatai Procuratorate prosecuted the court according to law, and Xiao Kai will face severe punishment by the law.
