Shenzhen Evening News (reporter Luo Dian correspondent Long Wei Tang Ting) More and more people like to keep pets, but there are always people who choose to raise some "special" because of the freshness and fun of the picture, such as illegally buying endangered wild animals such as small sun parrots and green wax lizards on the Internet, and finally paying the price. Recently, the Nanshan police, together with the forest public security and other departments, have continued to carry out special actions to severely crack down on and rectify wildlife-related crimes.
Since the launch of the "Hurricane 2021" operation, the Nanshan police have continued to maintain a high-pressure crackdown on wildlife-related illegal crimes. According to statistics, as of now, the Nanshan police have filed and investigated 8 criminal cases involving wild animals, and seized 4 Sulcata tortoises, 1 water turtle, 1 small sun parrot, 1 green wax lizard, 1 Herman tortoise, 1 yellow-legged tortoise and other national second-level protected animals.
It is understood that the Nanshan police will further strengthen multi-police law enforcement cooperation and cross-regional police law enforcement cooperation, cut off the chain of illegal hunting, transportation and trafficking of wildlife resources, and severely crack down on all kinds of illegal and criminal acts that damage wildlife resources.
