Depth: Two people were sentenced for killing a lynx by killing five chickens. Are they wronged?

A case about wild animals caused a heated discussion among netizens. The story of the case goes like this: Wang and Li opened a chicken farm. Because the chicken farm is close to Qilian Mountain Nature Reserve, wild animals often patronize Wang's chicken farm, which also makes Wang suffer losses. One day, a lynx went down the mountain and killed five chickens, which happened to be caught by Wang. The angry Wang and Li killed the lynx and got revenge for killing the chicken. Later, this incident was known by the local police and they were sentenced. At the same time, the procuratorate filed a lawsuit asking them to compensate the national ecological resources for 75,000 yuan. Many people think this sentence is too heavy and think that the lynx is not so valuable. So is the result of this matter reasonable? Let's take a look with Bian Xiao.

What animal is a lynx? It is also a famous beaver. It is a cat with beautiful fur and belongs to the national second-class protected animal. At present, the number of lynx is very rare because of its beautiful fur. In the last century, many illegal poachers caught a large number of lynx and sold their fur for profit, so the number of lynx dropped sharply in the last century. According to statistics, there are only about 70,000 wild lynx at present, and wild lynx is rampant due to the loss of natural habitat and rampant poaching. It is precisely because the number of lynx is getting less and less that our country has also designated it as a second-class protected animal.

Have those two been given heavy sentences? China is a society ruled by law, and all kinds of laws are sound, and there are also relevant laws in the face of wild animals. Legally, is there? Emergency avoidance? This statement is somewhat similar to? Self-defense? In other words, when attacked by wild animals, you can fight back. If you kill precious wild animals, the law will consider it as appropriate. The situation of Wang and Li obviously does not meet the argument of emergency avoidance. First of all, both of them know the lynx, and they know that the lynx is protecting animals, but they still kill it, so they know the law and break the law, and this situation will be taken into account when making a judgment.

In addition, the lynx is to protect animals, belonging to national resources, and the chickens raised by Wang are personal property. Because the lynx attacked Wang's chickens, it didn't attack Wang, so Wang killed the lynx entirely to vent his anger and wanted to avenge his chickens. In the plot, this is an act of destroying the natural resources of the country in order to vent his personal anger. However, Wang's sentence is really not heavy. According to Chinese laws, whoever illegally kills animals protected by the state shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention and fined. If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years. Wang's sentence is only six months, so the judge still thinks Wang's situation is appropriate.

China's natural resources suffered great damage in the last century, so we are trying our best to make up for it now. We are doing this for our future generations, so that they can have a green mountain and green water.
