Wild boar will be "demoted", can it be killed at will?

Wild boar will be demoted. Can you kill at will? Wild boar was listed in the National List of Terrestrial Wild Animals with Important Ecological, Scientific and Social Values in 2000, and now it needs to be protected and degraded. Wild boar will be demoted. Can you kill at will?

Wild boar will be "degraded", can it be killed at will? 1 The wild boar will lose the "amulet" of the "three-owned" terrestrial wildlife, but this does not mean that people can kill it at will? Experts believe that it can only be planned hunting. In fact, wild boar is still a protected object, and neither folk hunting nor eating wild boar is allowed.

1February 12, the paper learned from the State Forestry and Grassland Bureau that recently, the State Forestry and Grassland Bureau issued the List of Terrestrial Wild Animals with Important Ecological, Scientific and Social Values (Draft for Comment). In the draft, the wild boar listed in the list of terrestrial wildlife under state protection in 2000 has been deleted.

According to the opinion draft, this catalogue adjustment pays attention to the scientific evaluation of the ecological, scientific and social values of terrestrial wildlife species, fully considers many factors such as population dynamics, threats and social concerns, and puts forward the basic principles of catalogue adjustment: First, adhere to ecological priority; The second is to maintain scientific research needs; Third, it is conducive to social development.

20 years of human-pig conflict;

Four provinces began to control the harm of wild boar

In 2000, after wild boar was listed in the "Three Owns" protection list, many local people could only choose to drive away even if they damaged crops or even hurt people, and could not kill them at will. Will this plan to remove wild boar from the "three haves" list break this embarrassing situation? Recently, wild boar has flooded in many parts of the country, and the news that local folk hunting teams plan to kill wild boar has been hotly searched, and the conflict between human (wild) pigs has received unprecedented attention.

According to media reports, Jiangsu wild boar not only approached the scenic spot, but also broke into the campus. Guizhou wild boar took to the streets and entered the clothing store. In Sichuan, wild boar not only damages a large number of crops, but also news that wild boar hurts people and even causes death from time to time. Wild boar has become the wild animal with the widest harm range and the most serious loss in China.

According to the newspaper's previous report, there are two main reasons for the proliferation of wild boar. The first one is 1996. After the implementation of China's "Gun Control Law", citizens are prohibited from illegally holding guns and ammunition, and shotguns in society are confiscated according to law, so illegal hunting of wild boar rarely occurs. Secondly, wild boar breeds faster, with two litters a year, 5 ~ 10. In addition, there are few large carnivores and few natural enemies of wild boar, and the population of wild boar recovers faster than other wild animals. At present, it is impossible to control the number of wild boar through natural balance, so wild boar is rampant in some areas. Wild boar was excluded from the "three-owned" wildlife protection list. Before the draft was released, the State Forestry and Grassland Administration had carried out comprehensive pilot work to prevent and control the harm of wild boar in Shanxi, Sichuan, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hebei, Guangdong, Shaanxi, Hunan, Hubei, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Zhejiang, Anhui, Ningxia and other four provinces (regions). The prevention and control of wild animals, such as wild boar, will be included in the assessment scope of forest length system and "Safe China". Folk hunting teams were set up in Tongjiang and Jiangyou, Sichuan, and began to hunt wild boar in a planned way.

Experts and scholars:

Clear legal obstacles for continuous supervision

This time, Guo Gang, a lawyer in Chengdu, thinks that it will clear the legal obstacles for the sustainable regulation of wild boar population in the future. Dr. Sun, a scientist from the World Society for the Protection of Animals, told the newspaper that he also believed that with the improvement of the ecological environment in recent years, there would be similar regulations after many wild animal populations naturally recovered. Sun said that this is a good sign that the ecological environment protection has indeed achieved good results, and wild boar is only one of the fastest recovering species. He said, 1949, there were about 2 million wild boars in China, but there was no wildlife protection law at that time. Until 19 89, China's first wildlife protection law was promulgated. In this process, the number of wild boar dropped sharply. At the same time, the exploitation and utilization of wildlife habitats has never stopped, and the wild boar in many places has actually been partially extinct. Sun said that the contradiction between people and wild boar seems obvious in some places now, but China is so big that the situation varies from place to place. Some places may be flooded, and some places are not serious enough to be "one size fits all". He said that if the time scale is extended to 50 years or even 100 years ago, the number of wild boar may not be much now. Now it seems that they often enter human territory. In fact, these places may be the places where they once lived. People have left, and the number has decreased. Now the population has recovered and returned. He said that a wild animal population must be killed if it is not excessive, mainly depending on whether its population exceeds the carrying capacity of the environment. If it exceeds the carrying capacity, it may lead to the spread of germs and seriously destroy the ecological environment. In this case, manual intervention itself is a kind of protection. But this kind of intervention should have scientific basis, first of all, it should look at its sex ratio, reproduction rate, mortality rate and so on in the wild. With these basic information, we can formulate the most effective management measures. From the perspective of ecosystem function, it is best to let nature play a regulatory role, but this process is very slow. Sun said that even if wild boar is removed from the "three haves" list, people will not be allowed to hunt wild boar freely. Especially when illegal poaching still exists, if legal hunting is allowed, the challenge of wildlife protection will be more severe. Perhaps in the next few decades or hundreds of years, our wild animal population will be large enough to be open.

Although some other countries can hunt, their national conditions are different. The United States, for example, has a land area similar to that of China and a low population density. Therefore, some protected areas can get some economic benefits from hunting every year, and these benefits are also used for wildlife protection. Moreover, after years of monitoring the wild animal population, hunting is planned on the basis that the natural growth, death and harvest will not affect the natural growth of wild animals.

Human germs are related to Otawa animals.

At present, whether to delete wild boar from the list of "three-owned" terrestrial wild protected animals is only an opinion draft and has not yet been finalized. Even if it is finally passed, it will involve some related supporting measures. For example, if the wild boar population is killed in a planned way, then who will carry out it, how to carry it out, and how to deal with the wild boar after killing need to be more clearly defined. Sun believes that wild animals after hunting should be banned from eating. At present, it is recognized by the scientific community that wild animals carry a large number of germs, viruses and microorganisms unknown to human beings. 75% of new infectious diseases come from animals, including wild animals, domestic animals, wild animals and humans. However, from an ecological point of view, there is a protection mechanism. Under normal circumstances, their virus will not be transmitted to people across borders. Because they have their own habitat and activity space. He said that in the past decades and hundreds of years, animals have infected more and more people, and to a great extent, people have broken this boundary. For example, in the process of capturing, eating, utilizing and transporting wild animals, it caused cross-border transmission and eventually spread in human society. This trend and risk are increasing. However, this does not mean that eating bats, civets and wild boars will lead to this cross-border spread. It usually takes a medium to pass through a species and then mutate and spread to humans. Viruses are older than humans, and their survival strategy is to constantly mutate and find new hosts. So human wild animals protect themselves, and their living environment is our living environment.

Zhu Li of Sichuan Agricultural University said that people who grew up in the southwest mountainous area of China, and those born before 1970, should have eaten wild boar, but the taste is really bad, and the risk of eating it is still high. He said that domestic animals control their own environment and their quality is relatively guaranteed. For example, the probability of infection by parasites, germs and plagues is definitely lower, while wild boar growing up in the wild cannot be guaranteed. It is now clear that wild boar can spread African swine fever. He said that it was Spanish wild boar that spread African swine fever to several neighboring countries last time. So he thinks that some people should also eradicate the habit of thinking that games are good things.

Wild boar will "degenerate" and can be killed at will? Wild boar was listed in the National List of Terrestrial Wild Animals with Important Ecological, Scientific and Social Values in 2000. In June 5438+February this year 10, the website of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration released a new version of the "Three Wild Animals" list for comments, and wild boar was deleted from the list.

Many places have issued their own killing targets before, and now they have to be downgraded to protect wild boars. Does this mean that we can kill wild boar at will? Experts said that although wild boar should be removed from the list of "three-owned" animals, its protection should not be relaxed, and even accident compensation and legal publicity should be strengthened to ease the contradiction between people and wild animals. The killing of wild boar should still be based on scientific research and routine monitoring, and measures should be taken according to local conditions and accurately to prevent other ecological protection problems caused by indiscriminate killing and overfishing. Wild boar belongs to the national second-class protected animals. It should be emphasized that it is illegal to kill wild boar, but when floods endanger people's lives and property, it is allowed to hire a professional team with a gun license to kill it.

Wild boar protection should be downgraded. Can the contradiction between man and pig be solved?

You can't kill wild boar at will, but how to solve the contradiction between it and human beings in the face of flood? What is the difficulty here? Relevant experts say that the existing methods of hunting wild boar are inefficient. At present, there is a lack of professional teams to hunt wild boar, and the experience in hunting wild boar is insufficient. Our work of forming a team is in the exploratory stage.

What is the expected effect of removing wild boar from the "three-owned" animal list of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration this time? According to the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, this catalogue adjustment pays attention to scientific evaluation of the ecological, scientific and social values of terrestrial wildlife species, and fully considers many factors such as population dynamics, threats and social concerns, and puts forward the basic principles of catalogue adjustment: First, adhere to ecological priority; The second is to maintain scientific research needs; Third, it is conducive to social development. In other words, wild boar does not meet these conditions at present. The State Forestry and Grassland Administration said that if the opinion draft is passed, it will mean that wild boar will lose the protective clothing of the "three protected animals", and local governments can take better measures to control the population of wild boar and avoid further intensification of the contradiction between people and pigs.

After issuing "Wild Boar Wanted Orders" in many places and launching wild boar hunting operations one after another, many netizens exposed the cooking methods of wild boar and thought it was time to "have a full meal". Can wild boar really eat? Experts say that wild boar is the carrier of various viruses, especially African swine fever virus, which will seriously endanger the lives of livestock and human beings. Moreover, wild boar, as a national second-class protected animal, is also explicitly prohibited by law. Therefore, greedy friends should stop thinking about the cooking methods of wild boar.

Wild boar is to be "degraded". Can it be killed at will? 3 202 1 12 10, the website of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration published the Catalogue of Terrestrial Wild Animals with Important Ecological, Scientific and Social Values (Draft for Comment) for public comments. The upstream journalist found from the exposure draft that the wild boar has been deleted in the update of the "Sanyou" terrestrial wildlife list.

Prior to this, Chongqing 19 people were sentenced to two years in prison for hunting wild boar.

This means that it may no longer be illegal to hunt wild boar privately in the future. The long-standing contradiction that "it is illegal to kill wild boar, and it will suffer if you don't kill wild boar" is expected to be alleviated.

Just last week, China Newsweek reported the serious impact of wild boar on people's production and life with the title "Wild boar has become the most harmful and severely damaged wild animal in China".

Upstream journalists searched for "wild boar wounding" and "wild boar economic loss" respectively, and found that similar reports emerged one after another.

In order to prevent and control the hazards of wild boar, according to CCTV reports, since this year, the State Forestry and Grassland Administration has carried out a pilot project of comprehensive prevention and control of wild boar hazards in Sichuan, Jiangxi and other provinces 14, requiring all localities to investigate and evaluate the hazards of wild boar and organize hunting and control activities.

It is worth noting that poaching wild boar is still regarded as illegal hunting, and cases of being prosecuted and sentenced for hunting, eating and selling wild boar are common throughout the country.

The upstream journalists combed China Judgment Document Network and found that from 2020 to now, there were 14 cases of wild boar sentenced for illegal hunting in Chongqing, and 19 people were convicted for illegal hunting. On average, a criminal case of hunting wild boar is pronounced every two months.

In this 14 case, most of the perpetrators were sentenced to criminal detention ranging from two months to four months. Of the six cases that were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, three were sentenced to probation, and the other three cases that were immediately executed were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of six months, ten months and one year and two months respectively.

The upstream journalist noticed that in the judgments of all the above cases, it was clearly stated that "wild boar belongs to the' three-owned' wild animals specified in the List of Terrestrial Wild Animals Protected by the State or of Important Economic and Scientific Research Value."

Upstream journalists also found that in the case of 14 hunting wild boar, two criminals did not commit the crime because of subjective desires such as eating and selling interests, but only took the action of hunting wild boar after being infringed by wild boar.

On the morning of August 18, 2020, because wild boar was eating crops in his cornfield, Yang contacted the defendant and asked him to bring his dog to catch wild boar. Zhang Mingli then contacted many people, carrying three hunting nets, and successively arrived near Yang Shan's home in XX Township, Wulong District, Chongqing, and captured a wild boar by hunting dogs and netting. Xiao Cunming cut the pig in Yang's dam, and then everyone divided the wild boar.

One day in August and September, 2009, the defendant Ren Zhengping saw that Hongshan medicine on his land was eaten by wild boar, and even though he knew that hunting was prohibited in his village, he still conspired with the defendant's building to hunt wild boar by electric shock. The two men laid wires and electrified the nearby land, and then they found a wild boar that was electrocuted.

In the future, wild boar may be deleted from the list of "Three Owns" wild animals.

Delete from the "three haves" list the protection clauses that can be regarded as no longer applicable.

Is the wild boar no longer protected by law after it is deleted from the list of "Three Owns" wild animals?

The upstream journalist interviewed the relevant police of the public security department. According to the introduction, "three animals" refers to wild animals that are beneficial, have important economic value and scientific research value. But they are not precious and endangered wild animals under special state protection. At present, the crime of illegal hunting in Article 341 of the Criminal Law is applicable to the illegal hunting of wild boar, that is, the act of violating hunting laws and regulations, hunting in a no-hunting area or during a no-hunting period, or using prohibited tools and methods to destroy wildlife resources. If the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or a fine.

At the same time, according to Article 6 of the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in the Trial of Criminal Cases of Destruction of Wild Animal Resources, cases of illegal hunting are: (1) illegal hunting of more than 20 wild animals; (two) in violation of hunting laws and regulations, hunting in the game reserve or during the game; (3) There are other serious circumstances.

In other words, it is illegal to capture the wild animals in the "Three Owns" list without permission, and more than 20 can constitute a serious situation. "After the wild boar is deleted from the' Three Owns' list, it can be considered that it has lost its protection and this article is no longer applicable." The above-mentioned person said.

Reminder: Eating wild boar or forbidden area.

Although the country intends to remove wild boar from the "three haves" list, it is still illegal to eat wild boar.

On February 24th, 2020, the Decision of NPC Standing Committee on Completely Banning Illegal Wildlife Trade, Eliminating Bad Habits of Eating Wild Animals, and Effectively Safeguarding People's Life, Health and Safety was promulgated, which was also called "Wild Animals Prohibition Order" by the people, including wild boar.

In an interview with Southern Weekend, Wang Hongjie, a member of the wild boar prevention and control expert group of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration, vice president of china wildlife conservation association and director of the Population Control Committee, pointed out that "it is a principle not to eat wild boar". The China Green Times of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration also quoted experts as saying: "It is strictly forbidden to eat wild animals. The killed wild boar must be handled according to standard procedures. In the case of mass killing, it can be processed into animal feed for effective use after strict inspection and quarantine and treatment by professional departments. "

It is understood that at present, most of the wild boar hunted in various places are treated harmlessly, that is, burned and buried. The catch that has passed the quarantine inspection can be used for artificial propagation provenance, animal feed and other non-edible purposes.
