Buying and selling ＂pets＂ is also illegal？ The 19-year-old boy stood in the dock.

　　Yangzi Evening News (correspondent Wang Yunxi, Li Zhilai, reporter Wan Lingyun) Nowadays, more and more people keep pets. It is not unusual to keep kittens and puppies, but not all small animals can be kept. Ge Moumou, a man who lives in Zhenjiang Dantu, likes eagles, so he thought about getting one to play, but he didn’t expect to play with fire. "My legal awareness is too weak. I know that it is illegal to do so, and I always hold a kind of luck." On the 15 th, the Dantu prosecutor told reporters that Ge Moumou regretted it at the trial site.

　　According to the prosecution, Ge Moumou gradually became interested in falconry after listening to others say that eagle catching birds is particularly fun in QQ group. "Catch the eagle, have a private chat near Jiangsu", "Anyone who has an eagle, please contact me" … … In September 2018, Ge Moumou, who couldn’t help but be tempted, began to post information about buying an eagle in the QQ group. Subsequently, a QQ nickname "Suiyuan" took the initiative to add Ge as a friend, and sent a message: "There are eagle money here, and 600 yuan money is limited to self-withdrawal." Immediately, I sent another photo to Ge Moumou. Ge was so happy at that time that he fell in love with the eagle at a glance. Next, according to the agreed time and place, after Ge Moumou "inspected the goods", he took out 600 yuan money and gave it to the other party. But later, when Ge wanted to ask the other party what to pay attention to when raising an eagle through QQ, he found that he could not contact the other party.

　　Because raising eagles is expensive and laborious, after a month or two, Ge Moumou, 19, became bored gradually. But because it cost 600 yuan money to buy eagles in the early stage and a lot of money to buy eagle food, Ge Moumou didn’t want to lose money, so he posted information about selling eagles in QQ group. Later, just as Ge Moumou was preparing for the transaction with 1,500 yuan, he was reported by the masses and was arrested by the public security organs on the spot. Appraised by the Forest Public Security Judicial Appraisal Center of the State Forestry Administration, the animal sold by Ge Moumou is goshawk, which belongs to Falconiformes and is a national second-class protected wild animal. At present, the goshawk involved in the case has been properly fostered in the animal rescue station of Kaixin Zoo in Dantu District, Zhenjiang City, and released at an appropriate time.

　　On August 9th, the Dantu District Procuratorate prosecuted Ge Moumou according to law. Since his behavior has violated the provisions of Article 341 of the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and constituted the crime of illegally purchasing and selling precious and endangered wild animals, the court adopted all the opinions of the prosecutor in court and sentenced Ge Moumou to four months’ criminal detention, suspended for five months and fined RMB 2,000.

　　The prosecutor told the reporter that in fact, when Ge bought the eagle at first, he knew in advance that the goshawk was a national key protected animal on the Internet. However, at a young age, he was still lucky and thought that he would not find himself so skillfully. As a result, he could not escape from the French Open.
