607. Go to see the excitement (1/3)
The wildlife that needs to be protected this time is a herd of camels, the African Bactrian camel.
Yang Shubao set off the next day after receiving the letter, and the place of the incident was in Durban, but he was familiar with the road.
He already knew what was going on in advance, that is, a slaughterhouse imported a batch of camels from Somalia, and then they wanted to slaughter it to make a profit, but the boss wanted to build momentum and even posted a slaughtering video and a video of camel meat decomposition on the Internet.
The original intention of the boss to release the video was to prove that his camel meat was fat and hygienic, but this was targeted by wildlife protectors, and both sides are now on the bar, trying to pull people to increase their strength.
Yang Shubao drove straight to the Durban Quick Knife Slaughterhouse, and the road was smooth, and the big red flag was blocked on the road after approaching the slaughterhouse.
The road leading to the slaughterhouse is blocked, and I am afraid that there will be dozens of cars blocked here, like a long queue.
After Yang Shubao got out of the car, he put his hand on the pergola and looked ahead, and couldn't help but gasp: This incident is bigger than he expected.
The flat road is blocked by cars, and hundreds of people are protesting near the slaughterhouse.
Banners, loudspeakers, and leaflets, wildlife conservation volunteers made the event a big hit.
There were even several media cars parked on the side of the road, and when Yang Shubao got out of the car, a female reporter was broadcasting the protest to the camera, and the female reporter's eyes lit up when she saw Yang Shubao, and she walked over and handed him the microphone:
"Hello Mr. Yang, are you here to preside over this African camel herd rescue operation?"
Yang Shubao didn't know this female reporter, but he had a vague impression that he should have gone to his reserve some time ago to conduct interviews, and the two had at least met each other.
He couldn't talk nonsense in front of the media, and he said in a low-key manner: "I received a notice to see how this matter was resolved." ”
Keledi Barker of the Kwa Provincial Animal Rescue Center also saw Yang Shubao, and he waved happily and shouted: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, look here, we are here, come quickly!"
Rowling, Nelson and other people he knew all gathered together, and when Yang Shubao saw this, he confessed to the female reporter and ran over quickly.
I was very happy to see Yang Shubao and his entourage, as if they had a backbone.
Yang Shubao asked, "Why is this incident so big?"
Kai Ledi, who was happy to see him, was furious when he heard this, and he angrily waved his fist and said: "We're going to give this son of a bitch a little color, he has angered us, he has provoked wildlife conservationists all over the world!"
"What's going on?" Yang Shubao was a little confused.
Rowling hurriedly introduced him: "They were too bullying, and they posted the video of killing wild camels on the Internet, which attracted the attention of some of our comrades, and some people thought that their slaughter of camels was illegal, so they called the police." As a result, the slaughterhouse was so enraged that they started publicly insulting us and posted more and more intense videos of the slaughter of camels online!"
Yang Shubao asked: "One thing I don't understand, is the batch of camels purchased by the slaughterhouse legal?"
In fact, Lao Yang is completely different from Kai Ledi and others, he protects wild animals for the sake of sanctuaries and trees of life, so he is not as extreme as other wildlife conservation workers.
He thinks that wild animals certainly need to be protected, but if the slaughterhouse legally buys the camels for slaughter, the wildlife protection staff should not have the right to interfere.
Of course, the slaughterhouse owner's approach is disgusting, and he actually uses videos of wild animals as a gimmick to gain attention.
Keledi has the most say in this regard, saying: "It is absolutely illegal to slaughter camels, because our country's inspection and quarantine department does not issue a slaughter license for camels!"
As soon as Yang Shubao heard this, he said: "Then you call the police and let the police clean them up!"
Nelson said unwillingly: "The police can't clean them up, these bastards have played a sideshow, these damn bastards, God will punish them, will definitely punish them......"
"Let's get straight to the point, man, what did they play?" Yang Shubao had to interrupt him when he saw that he was going to curse at length.
Kelodi immediately added: "This batch of camels was bought by them from abroad, from Somalia, you know, there are the most camels in Africa, a large number of desert areas in that country, there are a lot of camels living there. ”
"This batch of camels entered the country legally, they have a transportation permit and a purchase permit, and then after this incident, they declared to the police that the purchase of this batch of camels is not for slaughter and sale, but for farming!"
Yang Shubao understood: "It is legal to buy and own this batch of camels, but it is illegal to slaughter and sell them. ”
Kai Ledi nodded: "That's it, they now declare that they will not slaughter and sell camels, so the police can't control it." ”
Yang Shubao said: "Since they don't slaughter camels, then your goal should have been achieved, why did you still make such a fuss?"
"These mongrels just don't slaughter and sell, they still slaughter the camels, and then send the meat to the cold storage for processing, and when no one pays attention to it, they will sell it to the outside world." ”
"You don't have to wait for no one to pay attention to them before you can sell them, they have already done it, in the form of gifts, in fact, there must be a transaction secretly, but on the surface they don't charge money, saying that they give camel meat to friends to taste. Nelson said angrily.
He's a media guy and well-informed.
Yang Shubao asked, "Do the police care?"
Rowling said contemptuously, "Are we counting on the police? No, my brother is a police officer, and I know very well who they are!"
They were discussing the incident itself, and the crowd in front of them suddenly became chaotic!
Roars and screams rang out one after another, and people kept screaming loudly: "They beat people, they beat people!"
Yang Shubao looked ahead, and a group of strong men came into close contact with the demonstrators, armed with steel pipes and baseball bats, and threw and smashed at the demonstrative wildlife protection volunteers, knocking several people to the ground.
The conflict happened very suddenly, and the volunteers were ordinary people, from all walks of life, including teachers, lawyers, accountants, but there were no soldiers, no police, no security guards.
I don't know where they came from, but after entering the crowd of demons, they were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and they suddenly dispersed the huge crowd of demonstrators.
Kai Ledi is a hot-blooded young man, and when he saw his comrades being beaten, he immediately became angry and rushed upwards with his fist.
Yang Shubao grabbed him and said, "Don't go to ......"
Kai Ledi was greatly saddened and indignant, and was even more disappointed by Yang Shubao's words: "If we don't go, where can we go?
"I'll go!" Yang Shubao said the rest of the words.
