Spiders, carnivores, fierce in temperament.
When you think of spiders, what comes to mind?
It is in "Dragon Ridge Labyrinth"
A creepy human-faced spider?
Or in Spider-Man
Heroic superman Peter Parker?
Or in "Journey to the West"
Enchanted spider spirits that live in the pan silk cave?
Recently, the Xiangfu Police Station of the Gongshu District Public Security Bureau of Hangzhou really caught a "Spider-Man" with the assistance of the Branch's Ring Food and Drug Brigade, who was accompanied by spiders, raised thousands of spiders at home, and ate and lived with them...
The "pan silk hole" in the residential building?
On the evening of July 29, 2020, the Xiangfu police station received a mass alarm that some people in a certain community had raised many varieties of spiders at home, several thousand, and were selling endangered wild animals protected internationally, suspected of breaking the law and committing crimes.
After receiving the alarm, the police found the scene in a remote house after a difficult search according to the information reported. A few thousand spiders? Didn't that house become a "coiled silk hole"? However, when the police walked into the bedroom of the suspect Xiao Li (pseudonym), they were stunned - in addition to the bed, on the floor, on the desk, in the cabinet... Spiders everywhere! With the not very bright lights in the bedroom, the goosebumps of the police were erected...
Subsequently, the police took Xiao Li back to the institute for questioning and investigation, and brought the larger spiders (more than the size of 1 dime coin) raised in his home back to the house for temporary safekeeping.
After investigation, Xiao Li has been fascinated by spiders since the beginning of 2017, and has been buying through various online shopping platforms for four years now. Xiao Li is still studying in an adult college in a university in Hangzhou, usually living in the school dormitory, and only returning to the home with his parents on weekends, while the spiders are all kept in his bedroom and bought and sold online.
As the spiders bought more and more, Xiao Li gradually had a deeper understanding of the species and habits of spiders, so he began to breed all kinds of spiders while breeding, "put the male and female spiders together, and some hybrid varieties depend on the situation." "Spiders are also more convenient to raise, you can feed bread worms once every half a month, and bread worms can also be bought online." Xiao Li said this when questioned, and has become a senior spider expert.
He said that he usually exchanged experience with netizens with the same hobby in the spider forum on the Internet, and slowly the experience deepened, "I slowly learned at this time that many of the spiders I raised were endangered wild animals." ”
Endangered wildlife for sale?
So many spiders, including endangered wild animals, what does Xiao Li do with it? Sell it! Some of the spiders bought and bred by Xiao Li have been sold through major online platforms, and at least 5,000 yuan of profits have been made. "Last year, I could still hang links on the Internet to buy and sell, and then the investigation became more and more stringent, such as the Honduran curly bird-catching spider, which could not be blatantly blatantly bought and sold on the Internet." Similar rare varieties, the original price of 1000 to 2000 yuan, now 200 yuan may not be bought. ”
According to the identification of the Forestry Bureau, a total of 42 spiders among the thousands of spiders purchased and raised by Xiao Li are listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (cites the CITES Convention) (2019 Edition), which are rare and endangered species, including 2 Mexican pink birdtraps, 1 Mexican gold-backed red-tailed bird-catcher spider, 12 Honduran curly-haired bird-catcher spiders, 3 Mexican red-knee bird-catching spiders, 5 Mexican red-tailed bird-catching spiders, and 3 Mexican firefoot bird-catcher spiders. There are 4 Mexican grey rose bird catcher spiders, 1 Mexican red-footed bird catcher, 3 Mexican fire knee bird catcher spiders, and 8 indian gorgeous rainforest bird catcher spiders.
At present, Xiao Li has been suspected of illegally acquiring, transporting and trafficking rare and endangered wild animals and has been taken by the Gongshu police to take criminal compulsory measures of release on guarantee pending further investigation in accordance with the law.
High energy ahead! Non-combatants evacuate quickly!
(Xiaobian goosebumps have fallen to the ground)
Police remind: friends who like small animals, before buying and selling, must first understand whether it is an endangered wild animal!
