Don't cross the legal bottom line when you have a pet. Before buying a pet, you should "keep your eyes open" to identify the type of animal, the more beautiful and rare it is, the more you should pay attention to the fact that not all animals can be bought and sold and raised.
Before implementing the transaction, it is necessary to check whether the animal is a national protected animal, which can be obtained through the official ** of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. When you find that someone else is protecting an animal, don't buy it, call the police in time.
Don't let "love" turn into "hurt"!
