Court upholds bird killers鈥 jail sentences
Print Edition
AN intermediate court in central China’s Hunan Province upheld lengthy prison sentences for seven people convicted of poisoning endangered birds at Dongting Lake and selling them for meat.
The Intermediate People’s Court of Yueyang City ruled against the defendants’ appeals, the court said yesterday.
In March, the People’s Court of Yueyanglou District, a lower court, found the seven guilty of poisoning, transporting and trading endangered birds. They received prison terms of one to 12 years.
The main defendant, surnamed Fang, was given 12 years in prison and fined 10,000 yuan (US$1,500).
Two others, surnamed He and Zhong, were sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined 10,000 yuan. Four other defendants received terms ranging from one to six years.
Law enforcement officers at the Eastern Dongting Lake Nature Reserve found a boat containing many dead endangered water birds on January 18, 2015.
The gang had used pesticide to kill more than 60 wild water birds and sold them to a restaurant in Changde City.
