"Holocaust" and "Graveyard"

During 1999 Bird Love Week, a city wildlife protection association wrote a shocking slogan: "Behind every hide is a murder case". Actually, it's not just murder. The city has become a slaughterhouse for rare and endangered animals, and many rare species have been killed.

According to the investigation in March 1999, there are more than 500 restaurants in this city, of which 200 deal in wild animals, accounting for 40% of the total number of restaurants. These restaurants are completely slaughterhouses for wild animals. They eat everything except tigers and giant pandas. There are national first-class protected animals such as bison and pythons, and second-class protected animals such as monitor lizard, cobra, pangolin, monkey-faced eagle, owl, mountain and swan. Other rare animals include peacocks, civets, civets, leopard cats, civets, crocodiles, wild geese, cuckoos with brown wings, turtledoves, snow chickens, Shan Ying, weasels, mountain turtles, sika deer, water snakes and banyan snakes. Business is booming and customers are like clouds.

According to wildlife experts' estimation, a province once ate 20,000 to 25,000 pangolins, which are the second-class protected animals of the country. If it keeps eating like this, all pangolins in this province will be eaten up in a few years.

March 20th 1999 is the first day of National Bird-loving Week. A case of selling nearly 100 of the national first-class protected animals and endangered species python was cracked by the arboretum police station of a city public security bureau. If we don't cut off the criminals' black hands, how can we get them? In a few years, pythons will not be extinct!

Now they have eaten up all the wild animals in this province, and the wild animals in this province are on the verge of despair and disappear one by one.

From 65438 to 0979, the black-crowned gibbon, a national first-class protected animal, disappeared in this province.

1998, the white-headed langur and black langur, the first-class protected animals at the national level, disappeared in this province.

After 1999 and 1999, it's really scary how many rare animals disappeared in this provincial capital.

B province used to eat as much wild animals as a city in A province. This province, one of the last pure lands in China, which we are proud of, solemnly announced that it would create the first ecological province in China. However, from an ecological point of view, their bellies are not "ecological", and they are full of meat from wild animals, so it is not an exaggeration to compare Province B to the "graveyard" of wild animals.

China has a unique world-class protected animal called Hainan Black-crowned Gibbon, which, together with chimpanzees, orangutans and gorillas, is one of the four remaining anthropoid families in the world, and has high research value in science. Previously distributed in southern provinces of China, such as Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other provinces. Due to long-term hunting, humans finally retreated to the tropical rain forest in B province. In the 1950s, there were 2,000 gibbons in Hainan. In order to protect this rare species, the country quickly established a nature reserve in the 1980s, but it was too late. There are only 20 protected areas left, and now only 18 is left. This 18 Hainan black-crowned gibbon is composed of four families, and their hunting activities are based on families. If one is beaten, the whole family can't escape, and poachers can easily hunt the whole family away, so poaching is their fatal threat. Because of the small population, inbreeding has affected the quality and reproduction of the population, and poachers are eyeing it, the black-crowned gibbon in B province has fallen into extinction.

In the major cities of B province, almost all hotels and restaurants used to eat wild animals, ranging from more than 30 species to 4-5 species. There are national first-class protected animals, such as peacock pheasant, partridge and python, which are unique to this province, and national second-class protected animals, such as green emperor chicken, pheasant, white goose, silver pheasant, white-bellied sand chicken and civet, as well as provincial-level protected animals, such as pearl-necked chicken and thrush. They not only eat it themselves, but also transport it to other places. If they eat and sell like this, the fate of all the rare animals in B province will be the same as that of the black-crowned gibbon in B province in a few years.
