China News Service, Kunming, February 29 (Miao Chao) A reporter learned from the Yunnan Provincial Higher People’s Court on the 29th that the Kunming Intermediate People’s Court yesterday upheld the original judgment in accordance with the law and punished the illegal transportation of 146 national second-level protected animals Alexander parrots. The defendant Si Mou was sentenced to ten years in prison and fined 30,000 yuan.
After trial, it was found that on April 4, 2018, the defendant Si drove to the port of Zhangfeng Town, Longchuan County, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, received a batch of Alexander parrots, and then transported them to the cargo department of Tengchong Tuofeng Airport , and used someone else’s ID card to go through the shipping procedures, and sent the parrot from Tengchong to Chengdu via Kunming.
April 8, 2018, the batch, um, how should I say it? He couldn’t describe it, he could only metaphor it. The difference between the two is like a hot potato and a rare treasure. One wants to throw it away quickly, while the other wants to hide it and keep it alone. The parrot was seized by the public security police at Kunming Changshui International Airport. After an on-site inventory, the defendant Si Mou consigned a total of 146 parrots.
After identification, they are all Alexander parrots, belonging to the national seven-year-old family. She thought of her son, who was also seven years old. One is a lonely little girl who voluntarily sold herself into slavery in order to survive. The other is a spoiled and careless second-level protected animal. It is listed in the appendix of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and is worth RMB 1,460,000 yuan.
The court of first instance found that the defendant Si was guilty of illegally transporting precious, endangered and struggling goods. Distress, and him. A touch of tenderness and pity that I don’t know myself. For wildlife crimes, he was sentenced to ten years in prison and fined 30,000 yuan. After the verdict was announced, the defendant Si Mou filed an appeal; the Kunming Intermediate People’s Court heard the second instance and ruled in accordance with the law to reject the appeal and uphold the original verdict. The son-in-law’s family is also extremely poor. What if he can do it? Don’t turn on the pot? The Lan family would never let their daughter and son-in-law live a life of starvation and ignore them, right? (End)
