Chapter 65: A credit to you
Yang Yi is not a fanatical animal protector, but he is not a cold-blooded butcher, he confessed when he went out to sea to fish, each fish school can only catch one net, and the rest can be regarded as leaving some seeds for this group, and cannot dry up and fish.
He also often heard that in previous years, fishermen used "no-end nets" and "bottom nets" when they went to sea to fish. The mesh of the nets is fine, no matter how big or small, all the encounters are collected, the big ones are sold, and the small ones are sent to the place where the feed is made and chopped up to make feed, just to sell a little more for a pitiful amount of money.
The bottom net is even more absolute, the net goes directly to the bottom of the sea, the net is with an iron rake, there are no chickens and dogs left where it passes, not only the large and small seafood are arrested, but the corals and plants on the bottom of the sea are also scraped and smashed, which is a completely fatal blow to the marine ecology.
As a result, there are fewer and fewer fish in the offshore waters, and there are almost no fish to catch in many places, and fishermen have changed careers to work, which is the result of self-inflicted fishing, and the offshore waters have not recovered from this vicious fishing. They are better here, I heard that the largest fishing ground in the East China Sea, the Zhoushan Fishing Ground, has no fish to catch, every time the fishermen go down the net, there are not a few fish caught in the net, and the garbage and white plastic occupy the entire fishing net, which is a typical manifestation of human beings eating the evil consequences because of greed.
Pangolin is the world's only remaining scaly mammal, there are 8 species in the world, mainly distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia, feeding on termites and ants, an adult pangolin has a full stomach containing 500 grams of termites, also known as "forest guard". The Chinese pangolin is mainly distributed in China.
For nearly 30 years, pangolins have become one of the most endangered wildlife in the world and are considered the world's most illegally trafficked mammal. At present, there are no public authoritative statistics on how many pangolins still exist in China. However, according to statistics from domestic conservation agencies, in the past five years or so, the specially established pangolin working group has spent a lot of energy, and only about 20 Chinese pangolins and about 20 Malayan pangolins have been observed in the country.
This data was learned by Yang Yi when he checked the information some time ago, but he didn't expect him to encounter such a thing today, the ten pangolins in that box were all Chinese pangolins, which seemed to him to be crazy.
The biological chain formed on the earth over millions of years is a chain of links, and the breaking of any link is a chain reaction. The Chinese pangolin is a natural predator of termites, and a single Chinese pangolin can eat about 7 million termites and ants every year. In a forest of about 350 acres, as long as there is a Chinese pangolin, the termite population can be effectively controlled, so that the forest ecology is not destroyed.
However, due to the indiscriminate hunting and killing of Chinese pangolins, wild pangolin populations in many places have almost disappeared, so the functions of the biological chain have also disappeared, and the pangolin, an important part of the ecosystem, has been lost, and ant pest control can only be solved by chemical means such as spraying pesticides.
The large use of pesticides will cause pollution to the soil and water, and even enter the ocean and go to the polar regions. When the Jiaolong manned submersible independently developed by Huaxia investigated the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the ocean, and investigated the seabed at a depth of more than 10,900 meters, it did not find the existence of organisms, but found a large number of toxic substances on the seabed, which came from pesticide pollution.
According to Chinese law, the illegal hunting, killing, transportation, and sale of 8 pangolins, as a national second-class protected wild animal, was found to be "serious circumstances", and 16 were found to be "particularly serious". where the circumstances are serious, a sentence of between 5 and 10 years imprisonment and a concurrent fine may be given; where the circumstances are especially serious, a sentence of 10 or more years imprisonment and a concurrent fine or confiscation of property may be given.
For this law, Yang Yi not only does not think it is serious, but thinks that it is too light, people like this should let them sit in prison, and it is not enough to suppress human greed, and it is not enough to make human beings fear life.
He didn't go up immediately to expose it, but told his father about the situation through VX, and asked his father to contact the relevant departments in the county to intercept the bus for inspection, after all, this is a legal society, and he has no right to check other people's things in the name of suspicion, but will tell the truth.
His father was also furious when he saw his message. After the arrangement of the county leaders, the two police cars set off from the public security bureau in less than 10 minutes, chased them in the direction from which the bus was coming, and waited at the exit of the highway.
Thirty minutes later, Yang Yi's bus drove out of the highway, and the traffic police commanded the bus to stop at the designated place, two police cars flashed their roof lights, and more than a dozen policemen in police uniforms stood around, faintly forming a posture of encirclement.
Yang Yi saw that the young man was obviously a little flustered, and the green tendons of his hand holding the box were exposed, but he was not sure what these policemen were doing, so he tried to stabilize his emotions and planned to get through the trick.
After the bus was parked according to the guidance of the traffic police, the door opened, and three policemen came up, in the name of security checks, please open the large luggage, at this time the young man's face became pale, he realized that it was going to be bad, these policemen seemed to be coming at him, but he was obviously very hidden, and it was impossible for anyone to find out.
Looking at the police who were getting closer and closer, the young man's face changed, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and forcibly opened the emergency button of the car door, and the back of the car opened with a "click", and he was going to run out, the police naturally knew that the target was him, and he was also secretly concerned about him, but he didn't expect this person to be so bold, and he would resist stubbornly in the encirclement of the police, and he didn't react for a while.
Although the police below were prepared, they obviously didn't expect to escape, seeing that this person chose a very clever position, as long as he jumped out of the car, he could get into a dense forest in less than fifty meters, and it would not be so easy to catch him at that time.
Yang Yi was a little surprised to find that this young man was going to jump out of the car because he was paying attention at any time, he didn't expect this person to be so bold, but when he saw that the police were completely unprepared, he could only be disappointed by the efficiency and vigilance of these people, took out a coin from his pocket, and flew over with a flick of his finger towards the foot that was about to step out of the car door, only to see the young man who had jumped out lying on the ground, and blood flowed out of the position behind his left foot, and the police hurriedly rushed over and pressed him to the ground, and the handcuffs were cuffed.
The policeman in the car rushed over to open his box, and after the clothes inside were removed, the white transparent bag was drenched in blood, and the dead pangolin had small round eyes, as if telling about the reluctance to the world and the unwillingness to die.
When the people in the car saw a bag of bloody pangolins, they screamed in fright, thinking that it was a murder case, but later learned that it was a hunting and smuggling pangolin that calmed down a little, and criticized the young man's behavior.
At this time, the leading policeman walked up to Yang Yi, gave him a smile, and then said: "You are Yang Yi, I am good friends with Lao Yang, and thanks to you this time, we caught this wildlife smuggler, I heard that you are doing well in the village, go back and stay for a few days, don't be unwelcome when you come." ”
Yang Yi glanced at the badge, the name on the badge was "Lin Tianhu", and hurriedly called Uncle Lin, expressing his gratitude to Lin Tianhu for his kindness, although he doesn't look down on them now, but the bad guys are kind, aren't they?
At this time, Yang Yi felt a burst of eyes piercing himself like a thorn, turned his head to see the young man who was pressed to the ground staring at him, and when he saw the police talking intimately to Yang Yi, he guessed that Yang Yi should have reported him, so he gritted his teeth for Yang Yi's hatred, just these pangolins, forget it, it's a big deal to be sentenced to a few years, and he will come out with some money, but there are still some things, if he is discovered, he may have to lose his head.
"Uncle Lin, how about I give you a credit? Actually, this pangolin is just the surface, there are some other things hidden in it, maybe it will be an opportunity for uncle!"
Yang Yi said to Lin Tianhu with a smile, he hated it anyway, he might as well let him hate it a little more, and he could also give Lin Tianhu a favor.
"You mean?"
"White in the belly!"
