Recently, the Nanzhang County Procuratorate accepted a case of illegal trading of ivory products, and the people involved in the case, Li Moumou and Yao Moumou, were investigated for criminal responsibility on suspicion of endangering the country's precious and endangered wild animals. The incident occurred in 2018, when Li Moumou was traveling in Sichuan, he met Yao Moumou, who was dealing in antique products, and the latter sold ivory bracelets to Li Moumou, and used their appreciation potential as an inducement. Li Moumou thought about this, bought 2 ivory bracelets, and became a loyal customer of Yao Moumou. As of this year, Li Moumou has purchased a total of 10 ivory bracelets and 2 tortoiseshell bracelets from Yao. However, in May this year, Chengdu ** filed a case to investigate Yao Moumou's precious and endangered wildlife products, and transferred clues to the Nanzhang judicial organs. After the prosecutor explained the law many times, Li Moumou confessed to his crime.
This case of illegal trade in ivory products has attracted widespread attention and discussion on the Internet. Most netizens expressed indignation and condemnation of the actions of those involved, believing that their greed and ignorance led to the harm of rare and endangered animals. Some netizens said that the ban on the sale of ivory products should be strengthened, and at the same time, the public's awareness of the protection of rare and endangered animals should be raised. Some netizens expressed concern about the frequent occurrence of similar cases, and called on the judicial authorities to intensify the crackdown and protect wildlife resources.
There are some similarities between this case and similar cases that have occurred in the past. In the past, there have also been people who have been held criminally liable for illegally buying and selling ivory products. These cases have not only attracted widespread attention in China, but also in the international community. Due to the increasing global concern about rare and endangered species, relevant protection mechanisms and conventions have been established internationally to prohibit the commercialization of such products. Therefore, the society has zero tolerance for illegal trading of ivory products, and requires severe crackdowns.
The case has had a profound impact on society. On the one hand, it has aroused the public's attention to the protection of rare and endangered animals and raised the public's awareness of the law. People are beginning to realize that the purchase of rare animal products such as ivory products is illegal and can cause serious harm to wildlife resources. On the other hand, the case is a warning to those who sell and buy rare animal products that the law will not show mercy to them. The public reporting of this case will serve as a warning and deterrent to reduce the occurrence of such violations.
Up to now, Li Moumou, Yao Moumou and others have been investigated for criminal responsibility. During the trial, Li Moumou expressed regret for his mistake and admitted his crime. He said that under the prosecutor's explanation of the law, he realized the serious consequences of his ignorance and luck. This is also a wake-up call for more people not to be blinded by the so-called appreciation value and illegally buy and sell ivory and other rare animal products.
The implications of this case of illegal trade in ivory products are far-reaching. It has deepened the understanding of all sectors of society on the protection of rare and endangered animals and raised the public's awareness of the law. People are beginning to reflect on their buying behaviour and realize the serious consequences of illegal trade in rare animal products. The case also serves as a deterrent to those lawbreakers and serves as a warning to them of the law's intolerance of attitudes. Each of us should take practical actions to protect rare and endangered animals, starting from ourselves, and jointly protect our ecological environment.
