The incident occurred in Xiaogan, Hubei Province. Four suspicious men caught snails in the Yangtze River’s prohibited fishing zone. After inspection by patrol officers, it was discovered that four men had illegally caught snails, amounting to 1,900 kilograms. This approach will cause serious damage to the ecological environment. Four people were also criminally detained by the local police for illegally catching snails.
Every living thing in nature is an important part of the ecological chain. If the number of one species is greatly reduced, it will have a very serious impact on species in the entire biological chain. This incident also brings us the following two warnings.
1. Indiscriminate fishing of wild animals. Illegal fishing is illegal and non-protected wild animals. It does not mean that we can fish at will. In this case, the four people caught snails with great fanfare just to raise leeches, trying to find feed for the leeches through illegal fishing.
The number of snails caught by four people is shocking. Their behavior also warns us that large-scale fishing of aquatic products may also violate the law. If it is just normal fishing, non-protected organisms, and not in a no-fishing zone, you will not be punished by law.
Second, damage to the ecological environment will be severely punished by law, and four people were severely punished by law enforcement officials. One of the important reasons is that the actions of the four people seriously damaged the ecological environment. Screws play an important role in the ecological environment. When the number of screws is greatly reduced, the number of other organisms will also be affected, thereby affecting the entire ecological chain.
Pay attention to protecting the ecological environment. Currently, any behavior that damages the ecological environment will be severely punished by law. We must learn from these penalty cases and not be punished for our actions and violations.
