Not long ago, the police were prompted that a family near Fenghuangling in Beijing might have kept precious wild animals. The police immediately came to Tang's residence.
As soon as they entered the house, the police saw the parrots raised by Tang, in addition to the parrots seized on the spot, the police also seized two tortoises and an elephant tortoise, both of which are suspected of being internationally endangered and protected wild animals.
After further identification, the parrot seized in Tang's home was called the orange-crowned cockatoo, which belonged to the national first-class protected animal; among the three tortoises, two were Yadabora tortoises and one was a Sulcata tortoise, which belonged to the national second-level protected animals. At the same time, these animals are also included in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
During the investigation by the police, it was found that Tang Mou was a wildlife enthusiast, and usually, he also earned some pocket money by selling precious wild animals. In order to compare, Tang also often publishes photos of wild animals on the Internet to achieve the purpose of showing off. As a result, the police followed the vine and found him through the photos released by Tang
At present, Tang Mou and his friend Li Mou have been criminally detained by the Haidian police in accordance with the law for suspected endangering precious and endangered wild animals.
The seized wild animals have been handed over to the Beijing Wildlife Rescue Center for rescue.
