With the scientific governance, the ecological environment of our life is getting better and better. The quiet and pure scenery of "egret flying in front of Xisai Mountain" is no longer an imagination, but some people often do it Do something disgusting and angry, and shoot birds with a slingshot for fun. On October 5, the Jihongtan Police Station of Chengyang Public Security Bureau received an alarm from the masses, saying that during the lunch break of the company, they saw a large white bird falling from the sky. It seemed to land on the platform on the top floor of the company. The people boarded the top floor platform together and saw a big bird with a pointed beak, long legs and white feathers. It was about 40 centimeters long and had a pair of sharp claws. One wing seemed to be injured, but it kept beating. Can't fly, the police found that the big bird looked like a egret by comparing the pictures on the mobile phone, and then found a cardboard box to take the big bird back to the police station, and got in touch with the Animal Protection Association. Afterwards, it was confirmed by the staff of the Animal Protection Association that the big white bird is indeed a national second-class protected animal, and the little egret has high requirements on the living environment, and most of them live in lakes, reservoirs and other wetlands with beautiful water quality. Usually gregarious. After inspection, the injured egret showed signs of a fracture in one of its wings, and was injured by something like a slingshot. It needs to be treated and fed for a period of time before it can be released. The staff then took the egret away for proper placement.

Police remind: Late autumn and early winter are the time for migratory birds to overwinter. Doing a good job in bird protection requires the efforts of the whole society. Shooting birds with a slingshot is illegal hunting, and criminal punishment can be imposed in serious cases, especially for hunting and killing of nationally protected animals, which can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention. I advise you not to be quick and try your best.
