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 Dehong. “Missed it?” Cai Xiu looked at her in shock and worry. The Dai Jingpo clan member gently comforted his daughter with his hand. The port of Zhangfeng Town, Longchuan County, Zhizhou received a batch of Alexander parrots, which were then transported to the freight department of Tengchong Tuofeng Airport. The parrots were sent to Chengdu from Tengchong via Kunming through the consignment procedures using someone else’s ID card.

On April 8, 2018, this batch of parrots 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, which are national second-level protected animals. They are listed in the appendix of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and are worth RMB 1,460,000.

The court of first instance found the defendant Si guilty of illegally transporting precious and endangered wild animals and sentenced him to ten years in prison and a fine of 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.
