490 geckos were arrested for treating their mothers. Two men in Henan were arrested on suspicion of committing a crime. Why?

On the morning of July 12, the police of Wolong District Public Security Bureau in Nanyang City, Henan Province received an alarm from the masses that they had parked an abnormal car at the gate and asked the police to check it out. When the police arrived, it happened that two men drove away, which was also unlucky. Then the police found 490 geckos and special tools to catch geckos in the car.

After being arrested, the suspect claimed that he caught the gecko to better treat his mother's rheumatism headache, and gave her all 490? That's too much. It will take a year. Maybe it's just to reduce the punishment. After all, Gecko is listed in the list of terrestrial wild animals under national key protection or with important economic and scientific research value by China Forestry Bureau, which belongs to the "three haves" protected animals in China.

According to the regulations, it is against the regulations to grab 1 without authorization. Among them, more than 20 criminal cases were involved, including more than 50 serious criminal cases and more than 0/00 particularly serious criminal cases/kloc. At present, both suspects have been put into the Public Security Bureau, and the police are further investigating and handling them. So why do geckos that are common at home become protected animals? What will happen if it is damaged?

What is a webbed gecko? Gecko webbed is the only gecko in China, distributed in Anhui, Gansu, Hebei, Henan, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Gansu, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanxi and Zhejiang provinces. Generally live in buildings, flowers, trees and crevices. Like to eat mosquitoes, flies, spiders, flying insects and other small and medium-sized insects. Therefore, the gecko is a beneficial animal to people, which can effectively inhibit the increase of mosquitoes and indirectly reduce the spread of infectious diseases.

The webbed gecko generally has a brown-gray back and a light-colored pulp on the ventral side. People who catch geckos are generally sold as Chinese herbal medicines. Geckos have been used as traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times, and it is well known that palace sand is made of geckos, so geckos are called "palace guards".

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that gecko has the functions of expelling wind, activating collaterals, resolving hard mass and detoxifying, which is common in stroke hemiplegia, rheumatic joint pain, osteomyelitis, lymph node tuberculosis, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer and so on. Many traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions contain gecko ingredients. There are related records in the abstract of medical prescriptions, yearbook of Sichuan traditional Chinese medicine and wonderful prescriptions.

In a grass-roots Chinese medicine hospital, the amount of gecko used to treat common diseases is about 20KG every year. According to the recent scientific research results, Clam sulfated polysaccharide can treat liver cancer. Therefore, there will be more geckos in the future. Unless a large number of artificial breeding is carried out, natural geckos will definitely be coveted by a large number of captors, resulting in a decrease in the total number.

To sum up, in recent years, many people have been jailed and punished for illegally catching and destroying wild animals and plants. So, don't forget to make a profit by killing wild animals, and don't destroy wild animals and plants casually, because we don't know when they may become protected animals in China, and we may lose ourselves if we are not careful.
