The two men used a high-grade slingshot equipped with a scope to hunt illegally, and were "hit" by the police, and the two men were placed on file for investigation.
On the afternoon of January 25, the community police of the Laochang Police Station of the Luoping County Public Security Bureau encountered two young men carrying suspected guns on their backs, looking around on the side of the road, and the police immediately stopped to check the two, and seized a high-grade "slingshot" in the hands of one of the men, and seized 6 dead birds and a gray forest owl (owl), a national second-class protected animal with injured wings, in his black backpack. After investigation, the two men were named Li and Xia. Li stated that 3 years ago, he spent 880 yuan online to buy a high-grade slingshot equipped with a scope, which has not been used. On the same day, Li carried a slingshot on his back and invited his playmate Xia to go out to hunt birds, and the two hunted all the way from Mamito Village to Redi Village. It was verified that the two injured an owl and killed a pearl-necked turtle dove, a woodpecker and four birds of unknown species.
At present, Li and Xia have been investigated by the Laochang Police Station on suspicion of illegal hunting, and the case is being handled in an orderly manner.
