Wildlife conservation experts call for a global ban on wildlife trade

  [Editor’s Note]: On January 26th, the State Administration of Market Supervision of China, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration issued a notice saying that in order to prevent the pneumonia epidemic in novel coronavirus and block the possible sources of infection and transmission routes, wildlife trading activities were banned nationwide from the 26th until the national epidemic was lifted. After the announcement, all provinces and cities actively responded and adopted corresponding management measures. Recently, Neil D&rsquo, director of global wildlife research for the World Society for the Protection of Animals; Dr. Cruze also published a document expressing the professional views and opinions of scientists.

  In response to the deadly novel coronavirus outbreak, China took action at an unprecedented speed and made a commendable and brave decision — — Impose a temporary ban on all wildlife trade nationwide. It is estimated that 70% of all emerging diseases are originated from wild animals. Undeniably, in recent decades, the growth of global wildlife trade (whether legal or illegal) has also become one of the disease transmission mechanisms that the world is increasingly concerned about.

  After all, in a typical vegetable market, animals suffer terrible pain, and there are no proper biological safety measures, which provides an excellent opportunity for pathogens (such as viruses) to mutate and spread. In the market, animals with weak immunity are subjected to the pressure and trauma caused by wild capture or intensive artificial reproduction, and can only sit in their own urine and waste. This is a very common phenomenon, and close contact with humans may cause disasters.

  In modern society, as people capture wild animals from natural habitats and transport and trade dead or alive wild animals to different parts of the world by land, sea and air, such threats have expanded to a global scale. There are many factors that can affect a country’s risk of transmitting zoonotic diseases from wild animals and its ability to cope with the consequences. For example, according to the number of animals traded, our recent review of the trade database of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora identified many countries worthy of attention. As the largest exporter of live mammals, China only traded 98,979 live mammals between 2011 and 2016, accounting for 58.7% of the total global trade listed in this international treaty.

  However, this is not just a number. A new deadly disease, such as coronavirus, can appear from an animal, and it can also be hidden in wild animal markets like Wuhan all over the world. There is a great possibility that this situation will continue and it is a real threat.

  So what should I do? Instead of simply treating wild animals as "disease bags", trying to eliminate pathogens or selectively hunting wild animals with pathogens, trying to reduce the contact between wild animals and people may prove to be the most practical and lowest-cost method to reduce the global human health risks.

  In the long run, we need to meet consumers’ demand for wild animals and their body parts. In the short term, a trade ban, such as the one currently implemented in China, will help to reduce the spread of diseases. However, if they are to be fully effective, these bans should be global and based on demand reduction.

  China’s national ban on wildlife trade will save millions of wild animals from suffering, and they will no longer be regarded as exotic pets, traditional medicines and meat. Crucially, this will also stop the harsh treatment they suffer in transportation and markets, where the living environment is a hotbed of deadly diseases. It remains to be seen whether the ban will be made permanent and whether appropriate measures will be taken to protect the welfare of animals that have been caught in the wildlife trade. However, in the short term, it will undoubtedly protect wildlife and human beings.

  Wild birds rescued from Miami’s black market were put into clean cages.

  The regulation of wildlife trade involves many issues, from animal welfare to protection and ethics, but as we have seen so far, the risks posed by pathogens (and emerging zoonoses) may not be underestimated and need to be solved urgently.

Threaten the masses to "one hundred ways to go criminal" and reinstate the female secretary? Shandong Pingdu responded

Xiaoxiang morning herald news, "We can afford him in terms of material resources, manpower, financial resources and energy." "I’m desperate. I have a hundred ways to punish his son, but I just don’t want to use those methods now." "We are now studying how to criminally detain him, and now there is no big obstacle in your file. Next, we are studying how to punish him …"

After a lapse of nearly two months, this matter has stirred up waves again. Recently, the reporter from xiaoxiang morning herald (reporting WeChat: xxcbbaoliao) noticed that in January 2022, some netizens said that Wang Li’s position had changed on Pingdu government affairs website. "After the incident, she changed from the party secretary of Yunshan Town, Pingdu, Shandong Province to the deputy secretary." Soon, she returned to the position of full secretary from the deputy secretary.

On the morning of February 21st, a reporter from xiaoxiang morning herald inquired about Pingdu government website, and only found a piece of department basic information and leadership information released on November 29th, 2021, in which there was no information about Wang Li, and the post of Party Secretary was vacant. Xiaoxiang morning herald reporter learned from the Party and Government Office of Yunshan Town that Wang Li was suspended from her post on the day of official notification. At present, the local joint investigation team is investigating the "Wang Li incident" and will announce the results to the public after the investigation.

Officials threatened that "there are 100 ways to punish his son", which caused controversy, and responded to the local apology.

In December 2021, a controversial recording was exposed on the Internet. The recording was mainly the conversation between Wang Li, secretary of the Party Committee of Yunshan Town, Pingdu, and another party.

Wang Li said at the beginning of the dialogue, "If I talk sincerely, I will talk to him face to face. If I don’t want to talk, if this family is not afraid of death, they can give up and I can give up." "You just give it to him, and you’re shameless … They don’t have much skill, except to go to Beijing to reflect the problem …" Wang Li went on to say, "We can afford pingdu city in terms of material resources, manpower, financial resources and energy."

"They still have two grandchildren in their family, and there is another one in their stomachs. Please convey this message to him, and if you don’t see it, you won’t have to beg him." "We are now studying how to criminally detain him. Now we are in administrative detention. There is nothing too big in your file. Next, we are studying how to criminally punish him …" "Just tell your uncle clearly that the people’s governments at all levels are studying how to arrest his son and how to punish him. Don’t worry, I have a hundred ways to punish his son. I just don’t want to use those methods yet." "Xie Xianwu or Tian Moumou, if you don’t stop … life should learn to stop in time. If you don’t stop in time, the consequences will be beyond his imagination. You also gave me the lives of several people in a family. Who is afraid of who? " Wang Li finally said.

After the above conversation was exposed on the Internet, it caused great controversy. Xiaoxiang morning herald reporter contacted Xie Xianwu mentioned in total recall. Xie Xianwu said that the conversation took place on August 23, 2021. He began to report the problem of tax evasion by a local enterprise in 2019. Because he disagreed with the handling of relevant departments, he repeatedly reported it to Pingdu and higher authorities. In August 2021, people from the local town government said they wanted to see him, but he didn’t want to see him, so Wang Li found his relatives and said the above.

After the incident was fermented, the Pingdu Municipal Committee responded. On December 26th, 2021, the official report of the Propaganda Department of Pingdu Municipal Committee said that netizens reported that Wang Li, secretary of the Party Committee of Yunshan Town, pingdu city, had a simple method, inappropriate words and rude style when doing mass work, which caused adverse effects. After the problem occurred, Pingdu Municipal Committee attached great importance to it. On December 26th, Wang Li was suspended for investigation and handling, and ordered to apologize to the parties. The pingdu city Municipal Committee has set up an investigation team to investigate the incident and deal with it according to the law.

In addition to this laid-back, quiet and harmonious living atmosphere, what impressed everyone should be the dishes cooked by teacher Huang Lei. I have to say that the dishes cooked by teacher Huang Lei really feast your eyes on many viewers in front of the screen, and the saliva can’t stop. In the previous issue of the Water-sprinkling Festival, just in time for the local year of 2022, Mr. Huang Lei made a full-fledged Manchu-Chinese dish, which made Seven and Allen Timmy Xu all let go of their bellies, leaving their bodies behind. Indeed, who can control the temptation of this table?

But what should I do if I can’t finish the rest of the dishes on such a big table? Dump it all? Wouldn’t that be a waste? For these leftovers, when everyone was clearing the table, Teacher Huang Lei said, "The salted duck eggs are kept, as well as ribs and fish." Later, Orfila also said, "The same dishes are put together." Later, Zifeng Zhang also covered these dishes with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator. It seems that these dishes will still be eaten later.

Huang Lei said that the remaining duck eggs were kept.

In this way, waste is avoided. Although they are stars, they are also doing programs, but they are also very frugal. Like ordinary people, they also have a touch of family temperament and are more warm.
