Recently, a case of illegal hunting of black-necked cranes occurred in Meigu County, Liangshan, Sichuan, which attracted widespread public attention. According to reports, the Meigu County Public Security Bureau received a report from the Institute of Black-necked Crane Migration Ecology of the College of Ecology and Nature Conservation of Beijing Forestry University** that a black-necked crane with a tracker was in a stationary state in Gagunaituo Village, Luooyigan Township, Meigu County, and requested an investigation.
In order to investigate the case, the Meigu County Public Security Bureau immediately set up a special case team and quickly locked up the criminal suspect Ji Ke. During the interrogation, Ji Ke confessed to the crime of illegally hunting and killing the rare and endangered black necked crane. According to his confession, on the night of the crime, on his way home, he found a large bird perched by the river, and he had the idea of capturing it for food. So he grabbed the black-necked crane and killed it, and then brought it home to eat.
Through the appraisal of the Sichuan Nanshan Environmental Damage Judicial Appraisal Center, it was confirmed that the black-necked crane hunted by Jike XX belonged to the national first-class key protected wild animals. This black-necked crane is the target of the study's research on migratory ecology, and the tracker and number it carries on its feet are clear evidence.
As an endemic crane species in China, the black-necked crane is known as the "plateau fairy" and "plateau sacred bird". According to the Decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on Comprehensively Prohibiting Illegal Wildlife Trade, Eliminating the Bad Xi of Indiscriminate Consumption of Wild Animals, and Effectively Protecting People's Life, Health and Safety, as well as the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, illegal hunting and killing of rare and endangered wild animals will be subject to administrative punishment and even criminal prosecution.
This case has attracted widespread attention and discussion on the Internet. Many netizens strongly condemned Ji Ke's behavior, believing that it is everyone's responsibility to protect wild animals, and illegal hunting should not be allowed to destroy the ecological balance. Some netizens also pointed out that similar incidents have happened in the past, but this should not be an excuse to relax protection efforts. They called for strengthening publicity and education on wildlife protection and enhancing the awareness of conservation in the whole society.
The impact of this case on society cannot be ignored. On the one hand, it has once again attracted people's attention to the protection of wild animals, prompting the society to pay more attention to the living environment and protection measures of wild animals. On the other hand, the detection of the case and the investigation of the suspect also send a clear signal to the society: illegal hunting and killing of rare and endangered wild animals will be punished by law, and the protection of wild animals is everyone's responsibility.
In the latest development of the whole incident, Ji Ke Moumou has been criminally detained by the public security organs in accordance with the law on suspicion of endangering precious and endangered wild animals, and the case is still under further investigation. This result demonstrates the determination and the strength of the law to combat illegal hunting.
To sum up, this case of illegal hunting of black-necked cranes has attracted widespread attention and has had a profound impact on society. It once again reminds people of the importance of wildlife conservation, and prompts society to strengthen the protection and education of wild animals. Each of us should work together to contribute to the ecological balance and the living environment of wild animals. Only in this way can we truly achieve our goal of living in harmony with wildlife.
