During the Spring Festival, the Dianchi Dam in Kunming has become a check-in place for many tourists, with tens of thousands of people coming here every day to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake and see flocks of red-headed gulls. However, at such a good time, something infuriating happened.
At noon on February 23, on the Dianchi Dam, two tourists forcibly grabbed the red-headed gulls to take pictures, ignoring their feelings, and kept changing their postures, completely ignoring them as life. Fortunately, the patrol staff discovered and stopped this uncivilized behavior in time, and handed over the two to the Xishan District Natural Resources Bureau, where they were fined 500 yuan according to relevant regulations.
The behavior of these two tourists aroused strong condemnation from netizens, who left messages saying: "This kind of person is too lacking in morality, seagulls are free, not your playthings!" "This kind of person should be forbidden to enter the Dianchi Dam, and they don't deserve to enjoy the beautiful scenery here!" "This kind of person not only caused harm to the seagulls, but also damaged the ecological environment of Dianchi Lake, and should be severely punished!" "Is this kind of person unloving, uneducated, and unqualified? ”
It is understood that the red-headed gull is a precious migratory bird, every winter, they will fly from Siberia, Mongolia and other places to Dianchi Lake for wintering, has a history of more than 30 years. The red-headed gulls are a business card of Kunming and a scenery of Dianchi Lake, and they have established a deep relationship with the people of Kunming. In order to protect the red-headed gull, Kunming has issued the "Kunming Management Regulations on Watching the Red-headed Gull", which stipulates the time, place, method and requirements for gull watching, and will be punished according to law for catching, harming and disturbing the red-headed gull.
Gull watching during the Spring Festival is a beautiful cultural tradition and a civilized way of life, but gull watching should also be moderate, respect the survival rights of red-headed gulls, and not bring harm to them for the sake of temporary happiness. It is hoped that the majority of tourists can watch gulls in a civilized manner, care for the red-headed gulls, and jointly maintain the ecological balance of Dianchi Lake.
