Bird poachers detained in police probe
Print Edition
THREE people have been detained for poaching migratory birds in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous region, according to authorities.
Earlier this week, police found four sites where migratory birds were being sold in Guangxi’s Pingle County, and more than 30,000 birds were rescued, according to local police.
Further investigations are underway.
Experts say rising demand in city markets has caused an increase in poaching. The birds are usually sold locally or in other areas, including south China’s Guangdong Province, where diners are happy to pay generously for meat considered a delicacy.
China has reported several recent cases of migratory bird poaching.
During the National Day holiday — from October 1 to 7 — about 3,000 live birds were rescued and 5,000 dead birds were found thanks to the joint efforts of local officials and volunteers.
Nets to catch birds that stretched more than 10,000 meters in coastal areas of Tianjin and Tangshan, both cities in the north of China, were also seized.
