Some experts believe that illegal digging of wild vegetables should be punished. Is it reasonable?

As long as it is not to protect plants or to dig excessively without warning, there is no need to punish. 20 16 farmers were sentenced to three years in prison and fined for digging bluegrass without permission. As a result, there was an uproar in the society. Subsequently, the Supreme Court retried the case and pronounced it again on 20 18, declaring it innocent because bluegrass is not an important protected plant in China. In other words, if the weeds dug by farmers fall within the scope of plant protection stipulated by Chinese laws, they will be sentenced.

But experts believe that digging wild vegetables privately will be severely punished. This is obviously an incorrect statement. After all, there are tens of millions of wild vegetables, but the number of protected plants is limited. Wild vegetables seen in daily life are basically unprotected. But there are too many weeds in the countryside. For farmers, these wild vegetables will affect the growth of crops. People will naturally clean them up to avoid reducing production.

Many weeds taste like wild vegetables in cities, but they are annoying weeds in rural areas and will naturally be eradicated. Many potherb farmers will dig them up and sell them to the market for an income, especially those old people. They always dig some wild vegetables when they are free. For example, the most common wild vegetable in June is purslane, which can be sold for 5 yuan a kilogram in the market, and farmers can get higher income.

Of course, if you are in a city park and there are obvious warning signs prohibiting people from digging, try not to do so at this time. But if it is in the countryside, not in the village, the villagers should try not to pick it at will, because many farmers have the habit of killing wild vegetables. If they choose them, they may increase safety risks and even cause diseases.
