As a member of the national protected wild animals, the Chinese toad has been poached and transferred to the dining table, which violates the law. These dark dens that secretly acquire and sell products should be severely punished by law.
In order to protect biological diversity, the public security bureaus in various regions have been severely cracking down on various criminal actions! Just in April 2022, the Sichuan High-tech Public Security Bureau successfully arrested 9 suspects suspected of selling Chinese toads. After many layers of investigation, it was discovered that the nine criminal suspects often went out to capture Chinese toads. The links in the process were relatively meticulous. They changed hands through multiple people and were circulated in a certain inconspicuous farmer's market. In order to successfully close the network and catch these criminal suspects involved in illegal reselling and selling, the Public Security Bureau organized more than 60 police officers to ambush the market in the early morning of June 9. The hard work paid off, and four dens were successfully destroyed, 17 suspects were captured, and more than 100,000 Chinese toads were involved.
The suspects explained their division of labor. Gan and others often went to Neijiang, Yibin, Zigong and other areas to capture Chinese toads, while Zhu and Luo were responsible for selling the aquatic products in their stores. From April to the time of their arrest, they sold a total of more than 50 tons of Chinese toads, making profits of up to 2.2 million yuan.
I believe that many people, like the editor, are very curious when they see this kind of news. It is obvious that toads are poisonous and look very ugly. Why do some people dare to eat them? But in fact, although the toad's epidermis is indeed covered with a large number of venom glands, it has extremely high medicinal value in medicine. Especially the post-auricular gland above the eardrum on the head side can treat chronic heart disease, reduce swelling, detoxify and relieve pain. The cicada coat on the toad is a rare and precious Chinese medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine. It can be said that in addition to venom, toads are full of treasures. Throughout the ages, many people have caught and eaten toads, always thinking that they can beautify and detoxify. But little did he know that his behavior was challenging the bottom line of the law.
