In Xuyi, two men were sentenced for killing 23 roe deer. What level of protected animals are roe deer?

Xu and Wang, men from Xuyi, never imagined that on September 3, they were sentenced to 1/kloc-0 for 5 years and 7 years respectively for hunting 23 roe deer around Nanjing Laoshan National Forest Park, and were fined110,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan respectively, and they also had to compensate the national wild animals caused by their illegal hunting and killing of precious wild animals. Because this is a particularly serious case, there are only about 70 roe deer in Nanjing Laoshan National Forest Park.

From September 2065438 to September 2009, when Xu was catching lobsters in a nearby wild ditch, he learned that there were roe deer (scientific name: Helu) there, and he had the idea of hunting. Xu bought batteries, noses, wires and poles, and invited the king. Knowing that the hunting of roe deer is a wild animal prohibited by the state, they drove near Laoshan National Forest Park several times from June 20 19 to February 20 19, and set up power grids to illegally hunt roe deer. Xu stored roe deer and rabbits in a friend's cold storage, and sold 15 rabbits and 2 badgers to a hotel in Huzhen, Tian Quan, Xuyi County.

20 19 12.5 The police received an anonymous report from the masses and went to the cold storage of Xu's friend's house in Fandun Village, Huzhen, Tian Quan for inspection. 23 dead roe deer and rabbits/kloc-0 were seized at the scene, and Xu and Wang were arrested. The detained animals were appraised by the Forest Public Security Judicial Appraisal Center of the State Forestry Administration. Twenty-three roe deer (scientific name is Helu) are national second-class key protected animals, and 1 rabbit (scientific name is Caotu) is a terrestrial wild animal with important ecological, scientific and social values under national key protection (referred to as? Three kinds of animals? )。 However, from the end of 20 18 to the beginning of 2020, according to the statistics of biodiversity scientific research, the number of muntjac population in Laoshan area of Nanjing is less than 100.

In the trial on the 3rd, the court also allowed two persons with special knowledge invited by the public prosecution to appear in court: Xue Tongliang, stationmaster and researcher-level senior engineer of Huai 'an Forestry Technical Guidance Station, and Yang Guodong, senior engineer of Jiangsu Academy of Environmental Sciences.

According to two experts, roe deer is the only wild deer in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is listed in the Red List of Endangered Species of IUCN 20 12, which belongs to the most primitive deer and is a very precious species resource. According to the standards for filing major cases and particularly major cases of smuggling, illegal hunting, killing, purchasing, transporting and selling rare and endangered terrestrial wild animals, roe deer belongs to China's national second-class protected animals, and illegal hunting and killing of four rare and endangered wild animals constitutes a major case. Illegal hunting and killing of 8 rare and endangered wild animals, such as river deer, constitutes a particularly serious case, while Xu and Wang illegally hunted and killed 23 animals, constituting a particularly serious case.

According to two experts, Nanjing Laoshan National Forest Park is called? Nanjing Green Lung and Jiangbei Pearl? In the park, egrets, herons, roe deer (also known as river deer) and other precious wild animals live here. According to the statistics of biodiversity scientific research in this area, the population of roe deer is only about 70, and the population distribution is fragmented, and the population has formed a reproductive island. The 23 muntjac involved belong to Laoshan muntjac population. If the population cannot be effectively replenished and restored, it will face the possibility of extinction, which will seriously endanger the population of roe deer in Laoshan area of Nanjing.

Xu and Wang hunted wild animals by setting up private power grids and engaged in illegal transactions for the purpose of eating. In the process of hunting, transportation, trading or food processing, they will also produce infectious pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, which will easily cause large-scale epidemic spread and bring immeasurable damage to human health and even national development.
