On 25 june, nandu journalist guo choo-sheng verified from the department of agriculture and water management of huiyang district, huizhou city, that the crocodile that had been caught on the mountain road in the local asia peak forest park was an alien and endangered species siam alligator, and that since there were no crocodile farms in huiyang, it was prima facie possible that he had been raised and released。
The climbers found the crocodile
On the evening of 20 june, a climber climbed the top of huiyangya, and on his way down the mountain, the crocodile was found and called the police. Upon receipt of the report, local forest security, freshwater street rangers, local firefighters and staff of the department of agriculture and water of the huiyang district immediately arrived at the scene for disposal and successfully captured the crocodile and handed it over to the fishery research and extension centre of huizhou for further treatment。
Following the incident, media sources in hueyzhou reported that crocodile bites had taken place in hueyzhou and that, as a result of investigations by journalists in this newspaper, crocodiles had been caught without injuries (23 june, reported in the japanese newspaper)。
The capture scene
The press release generated widespread concern. What kind of crocodile is this? Where did it come from
In response, the south du reporter, further verified by the department of agriculture and water management of the huiyang district of huezhou, informed the staff concerned that the crocodile was initially approved as siamese and that, since there were currently no registered crocodile farming enterprises in the huiyang region, it was initially assumed that the siamian crocodile might have been raised individually and released。
According to publicly available information, siamese crocodiles are a medium-sized crocodile, with adult crocodiles of up to 4 metres, common 3 metres long and young crocodiles of about 25 cm long when hatching. Siamese alligator leather has a high international reputation, and the more the leather is, the higher the value it is, the higher it is, the higher it is. Wild stocks are mainly found in borneo, indonesia, malaysia, thailand and viet nam in south-east asia. Siamese crocodiles are listed in appendix i to the convention on international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora and fall under the term “precious, endangered wildlife” in the penal code。
Seizure and referral
The head of the agricultural and water administration unit of the huiyang district department of agriculture and water management introduced siam as an alien species and a valuable and endangered species of wild animals. Under the relevant national legislation, private farming is not permitted without the approval of the relevant authorities and without legal authorization。
Typical cases
A man who illegally acquired and raised siam crocs was fined $20,000 for five years
On 24 december 2018, the jiangxi court network reported that, after learning of the considerable economic value of siamese crocodiles, his family lived in pengcho, nanchang city, jiangxi province, and that he had purchased and raised 10 siamese crocodiles。
On the night of 3 september 2017, a siamese crocodile escaped from the pig farm and peng was unable to find it for days. On 5 september, the siamese village people discovered the siamese crocodile and immediately called the police and were immediately adopted by the official forest station. On the evening of the same day, another siamese crocodile escaped from the pig farm, which was difficult to control, allowing peng to surrender voluntarily the next day and hand over the remaining eight siamese crocodiles to the police station. It was not until 8 september that the second siamian alligator was found in a septic tank by the pigs' fence。
The court found that the illegal acquisition of siam crocrete by peng constituted an offence of illegal acquisition of precious, endangered wildlife, as listed in the convention on international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora and the list of aquatic species approved as a national priority for the protection of wildlife. In view of the fact that, after the crime, the defendant, peng xiao, voluntarily surrendered to the public security organs and voluntarily surrendered the illegally acquired siam alligator, he was sentenced by law to five years ' imprisonment and a fine of rmb 20,000。
