It is reported that a man in dongxing city illegally transported and sold the rare and endangered wild animal gecko for a long time. Recently, the People's Court of dongxing city held a hearing on the case of illegally transporting and selling precious and endangered wild animals. The man was sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined 50,000 yuan.

The court found that in 20 16, the defendant Huang began to help "Xie Boss" (handled separately) to manage clams, responsible for raising clams, delivering goods and collecting payment for goods. On April 7, 20 17, the defendant Huang moved two sacks of Meretrix meretrix to his living room and put them into 15 cartons according to four grades. Subsequently, Huang transported the packed 15 boxes of clams to an alley in dongxing city for distribution. Just as Huang put the packaged Meretrix meretrix into the consignee's car, he was seized by the police on the spot, and 87 1 suspected live Meretrix meretrix was seized in the car. Subsequently, the police also seized 2 12 suspected live clams and 240 bodies in Huang's rental house. The police seized 1323 suspected clam. After identification, all the suspected geckos seized were geckos belonging to Gecko family. It is reported that gecko is a second-class protected animal in China. According to the relevant criminal law, illegally transporting and selling 20 rare and endangered wild animals gecko can be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years in prison. The court held that the defendant Huang's behavior constituted the crime of illegally transporting and selling precious and endangered wild animals. Considering that he is a minor principal offender and has a confession, he made the above judgment. Knowing the cause and effect of this matter, I believe you will naturally understand why geckos can't buy and sell at will.
