Is the winter solar terms, all are filled with a cold, in contrast, the wildlife trade market is becoming more popular.

Southern media recently on Guangzhou and Foshan, many of the "game" market investigation and found that not only the Masked Palm Civet is back, some booth even played "$ 150 per kilogram of Red Panda" signs.

2006 April 18, China Wildlife Conservation Association published a survey reported that China's beverage industry wildlife consumption declined 6.6%, this is due to SARS and avian flu outbreak.

However, in the eyes of the SRAS glutton lives of hundreds of lives apparently can't go with tongues of desires or pulled out at last card of pleasure.

And the Masked Palm Civet, pangolins, wild boar, the Red Panda such mammals, birds were not as well known but at greater risk.

According to the survey, only in Guangzhou over 20000 only wild bird eaten, it's not just the cormorant, egrets, grey heron, Chinese pond Heron, various owl (OWL), and even include thrush, thrushes, thrush such traditional ornamental birds, it was plundered and Jean Cook crane.

In September, the Singapore wildlife enthusiasts MrTree in Guangdong forest park restaurant outside shot to a photo: a snake is being torn abdominal scald, ground pool, lies a small wild boar and a "pheasant".

The "Mr." no tree note, it's not a normal "pheasant", but rather with the Giant Panda and the protection of animals at the national level for the Tragopan. According to article 340 of the Penal Code, such behavior will be sentenced to five years imprisonment or detention, and a fine.

Than birds more destructive is eat eggs.

This year from 15 to 17 June, in Zhejiang Ningbo jiushan archipelago to the East of the Centre Island — grain with island, 800 petrel eggs were picking a null. Wildlife volunteers then stall, were found in the $ 35 of these are for a sale of eggs, shocking is including 3 black crested terns of eggs. Chinese crested tern is the world's most dangerous species, is considered nearly extinct. Last year, the global total of only logging to only 100 or so, in the grain with the island, 2004 found 10 on, only 3 on this year, next year will not be there, is unknown.

The author is located on the outskirts of the city a reservoir in the center of the island is a local small Egret breeding ground, last year I found population size 200 only around, flies and the Group's name, is a duck.

This year again to investigate, only left with less than 100 only, while the author photo record, a reservoir management personnel not without pride that this spring he boat to the island picked two basket eggs, good eating for two months.

There is also a kind of wild animals is often neglected, and that is all kinds of fish, especially coral reef fish.

According to statistics, only Hong Kong a, 2000-2006, the average annual 1.5 tons of coral reef fish enter the market. With the improvement of the ability of people consume, eat coral reef fish — — such as all kinds of fashion grouper is rapidly popular in mainland China. This gives a tremendous variety of fish, to wrasse (HumpheadWrasse) as an example, this past common fish already in 2004 was listed in the CITES Convention on international trade in Appendix II. Even so, illegal fishing activities wrasse has not reduced. The same "Convention Appendix II" the whale shark is the summer many tabloid of flyers — in Fujian, Guangdong, Shandong, several whale sharks were sold in incising.

I must mention that there are all kinds of snakes.

Although eating Snake style almost swept across the country, however, in accordance with the law, the consumption of any snakes, whether wild or in captivity are violations, since 2003 forestry published "54 species of artificial domestication and breeding technology is mature, commercial domestication and breeding and management and utilization of terrestrial wildlife list" no snakes. This year, in spite of the Dongting Lake rat disaster, but casual factors cannot be denied that the relevant parts of the drastic reduction of snakes is an important reason.

The human marvels is the only animal that can predict the future, why wait until the next pandemic or mouse climbed up on the same bed, or the sky no longer have the traces of the birds and regretted it's so-called delights?
