"He caught a dozen or so! He called people around him asking if he could buy wild boar (wild boar) meat. It's so easy to pick up. Qu Mi had eaten it and searched for it! It's dead! Yeah!"

It turned out that the suspect surnamed Zhang was a well-known hooligan in the village. After moving away for nearly 10 years, he recently returned to Changpu. The village catches and sells wild boar in high profile. The wild boar is still available for purchase at a price of 200 yuan a catty. The source of tourists is from Shanbei Village, and it is mainly bought by the elderly.

According to the villagers, Zhang Nan once caught a pig weighing more than one hundred catties and benefited more than 10,000 yuan.



Zhang Nan reported that he was a chef, but the villagers often saw him waiting in the mountains and fields, and believed Zhang Wuye.

It is suspected that Zhang placed animal traps made of steel cables on the hills of Changpu Village and caught more than a dozen wild boars.

Because of the considerable profits, it is not ruled out that some people are eager to "expand their business," so they recruited Xie Nan, a welder, to build a giant animal trap.

Gluttony provokes villagers: Welder arrested for eating yellow muntjac and fox

As for another suspect named Xie who worked as a welder, the villagers revealed that if Zhang Nan hunted yellow muntjac and foxes, he would feed them to Xie Nan. The two knew each other well. It is known that Zhang Nan paid 10,000 yuan to lure Xie Nan to build a cage. Catch wild boars for profit, but was arrested before the rewards were obtained.

The reporter of "Hong Kong 01" saw it in Changpu Village and found that a village house was filled with welding tools, and there were also two cooking stoves and woks.

When asked if anyone built cages to catch wild boars and put them on sale, the female household repeatedly denied it, claiming that her husband "drilling and welding is a kind of welding, but not a wild boar."

After repeated inquiries about whether there are many wild boars nearby, the female residents also dismissed the relationship: "I have never heard people say too many things. I don’t even care about other people’s affairs. I have never heard of anyone talking about it. I have bleached the pig myself. I have seen (wild boar) walking around and walking down the mountain before, but I have never seen it before. You are mistaken.” The cleaner said that wild boars often dig through the trash at night, causing the trash to be scattered. .

Fishery and Conservation Department urgently demolished cages and scared snakes

The two arrested men have been released on bail pending further investigation and will report back to the police in late February.

Some villagers familiar with the department’s actions revealed that they had planned to install CCTV near the giant cage to record evidence of wild boar catching, but AFCD staff quickly removed the giant cage iron gate and cable after arriving on the scene.

Although the immediate danger to the animals can be removed, the suspect was aware of the exposure of the incident and naturally did not dare to return to perform the tricks. The police had no choice but to arrest that night and seized a welding machine and a chainsaw at the residence of one of the suspects.

Although the giant animal traps have been demolished, there is still a large amount of building materials left in place. The villagers are worried that those who are interested will use building materials to build cages again, and hope that the relevant departments will clean up the building materials as soon as possible.
