What's wrong with internet celebrities eating shark fin and crocodile skin?

According to a popular science blogger, an online celebrity named Tizi released a food video on June 5438+02. In the video, in front of a store, she opened a package containing a huge shark, which attracted many people to watch. Later, internet celebrities and others transported sharks to the countryside, chopped them up and used them for cooking and barbecue. Extreme journalists also noticed that the subtitle "Farmed food is edible" was written in the upper left corner of the video. Popular science bloggers posted screenshots of the video on Weibo for exposure, and the screenshots showed that the video was liked by 77,000 people.

Note that the online celebrities in the video have more than 6.5438+0 million fans, mainly publishing videos of cooking food with seafood. At present, this video of cooking sharks can no longer be displayed.

"This is a man-eating shark and belongs to the national second-class protected animal." The above-mentioned popular science blogger told Jim that it is illegal to go ashore to fish, raise and sell man-eating sharks without permission, and buying and selling is the same crime. As for the video saying that sharks are farmed, this statement is not credible. Large predatory sharks can't be farmed commercially in artificial environment due to the requirement of space and prey. At present, only striped sharks, bamboo sharks and other small sharks have been tried in China, but they have been shelved because of the high feeding cost.

The discovery of man-eating sharks is listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, which is equivalent to the second-class protected animals in China. From March 2065438 to March 2007, China Endangered Species Import and Export Administration Office published the list of wild animals or their products whose trade is prohibited or restricted by international conventions concluded or acceded to by People's Republic of China (PRC), among which man-eating sharks are listed.

Zhou Zhuocheng, chairman of the professional committee of protozoa and aquatic ecology of China Fisheries Association, said that the shark in the video is indeed a man-eating shark, also called great white shark, which is a national second-class protected animal. According to the law, after fishing, it should be abandoned into the sea regardless of life or death. It is illegal to go ashore and buy and sell, and man-eating sharks are not farmed.

Nowadays, the short video industry is full of all kinds of eating and broadcasting, which are also quietly affecting our lives.

These eating and sowing should be divided into three types:

Bloggers who shop.

Bloggers who teach to cook all kinds of dishes.

Food bloggers who eat a lot at home or in restaurants.

I think it's killing two birds with one stone to satisfy the audience and fans' desire to eat, and people who lose weight watch them eat instead of eating themselves, especially when munching on pork belly.

Recently, a news that online celebrities eat wild animals suddenly became the focus of discussion. In her video, there are materials to eat snapping turtles, giant salamanders and sharks. Relevant departments have been involved in the investigation because she is suspected of eating the national second-class endangered animals.

Back to two years ago, cooking videos at that time mainly taught cooking. Later, slowly, some popular bloggers began to join the food-eating link, and many fans were very happy. After a busy day, I watched my favorite blogger eat and eat, sweeping away the haze.

Eating home-cooked food slowly seems to be unable to satisfy everyone's curiosity. Some bloggers began to shoot valuable ingredients, such as king crab, beef and sky-high fruit. These ingredients that ordinary people can't afford can help us eat, as if they also make some people particularly satisfied.

In fact, I feel very good here, and these behaviors are also positive energy. After all, if they want to make money, they need to attract people's attention. But recently, more and more food bloggers began to eat some strange animals, such as ostrich meat, crocodile meat, wood frog meat and so on. These strange foods have increased people's curiosity and the flow of online celebrities. It is a good idea to make money at the same time, but it is not a good atmosphere.

Although many bloggers' videos will mention artificial farming, unprotected animal species and so on. It will inevitably make people uncertain whether this blogger is eating protected animals.

First of all, according to the relevant laws and regulations of our country, protecting animals is inedible, and eating is illegal. Then someone must ask, can these bloggers eat farmed food? Actually, it depends.

The law clearly stipulates that protected animals can't be eaten whether they are artificially raised or farmed, and non-protected animals can be eaten and farmed.

Take crocodiles for example. Recently, I saw many short video bloggers eating crocodiles. Some bloggers said it was fishy and not delicious, while others said it was delicious, even better than beef. Regardless of the taste, this thing is rarely interesting to see. According to statistics, there are currently 23 known crocodile species in the world. These crocodiles come in different shapes. Some species have long hair of more than 8 meters in adulthood, while others are less than 2 meters in adulthood. There are protected species and unprotected species. For example, the famous Chinese alligator is a national first-class protected animal, but a small number of crocodiles raised artificially are allowed to eat.

In fact, it is not only the internet bloggers who have eaten some wild animals that make people unable to judge, but also many game museums often report that they have been arrested by the police for providing animal protection to customers.

I once saw a news that pangolins were found in a game museum, which were captured by poachers and sold to the game museum. There were also various news reports that poachers killed a large number of wild animals, many of which were national first-and second-class protected animals, and the dead animals were all over the ground, which was shocking to watch. I have to vomit. Are you really out of food?

On the other hand, it is also a bad trend that more and more network celebrities begin to eat some strange animals. In order to make money, they come up with all kinds of novel ideas to attract people's attention, not to mention all wild animals, but there are definitely wild animals. I hope this kind of thing will happen less, there will be a green network environment, and relevant departments can check more, so that criminals who really eat protected animals can get the punishment they deserve!
