Myanmar is rich in forest resources, and there are many small animals that inhabit the forest. But sadly, people often walk into the forest with shotguns and kill the animals in the forest. Some of them don't even know that the one who died under their own guns is a nationally endangered animal! Recently, a man who shot a two-horned hornbill, a protected animal in Myanmar, was arrested according to law.
Wu Mo Agajue, director of the Forestry Bureau of Ngai Town, Magway Province, Myanmar, said that the incident occurred near the village of Gouji in Ngai Town.Chinese The two-horned hornbills that were shot and killed were released into the wild by regional conservation groups. It often forages near the village and likes to be close to the villagers, which brings the disaster of killing.
A local villager said that on the evening of March 28, we heard gunshots and learned that a two-horned hornbill had been shot, so we rounded up the hunters. The hunters were in a van and were not locals.
It is reported that because some rare birds have been released, warning signs have been set up near the forest, and rare birds should not be killed, poached, injured, or transported.
According to the hunter's confession, he killed the two-horned hornbill with a slingshot. Myanmar law stipulates that the killing of a state-protected animal is punishable by a minimum of 3 years' imprisonment and a maximum of 10 years' imprisonment and a fine, depending on the circumstances.
