The New Express reported on November 6th that wild animals began to suffer again due to autumn tonic. A few days ago, some citizens reported that da li Qingfeng Food City in Nanhai, Foshan, Guangdong Province has not sold food for nearly two months, but has openly peddled wild animals under state protection, such as red pandas, sika deer, pythons and civets, with a daily sales of tens of thousands!
The reporter’s unannounced visit found that the national protected wild animals sold in this market are complete, and the grand occasion is almost comparable to that of large-scale wild zoos, and the protected animals sold mostly flow to restaurants and restaurants in Guangzhou, Nanhai, Shunde and surrounding cities.
All four buildings are selling wild animals.
At 4 o’clock on the afternoon of October 30th, our reporter and a group of reporters from the "Today’s Concern" column of Guangdong TV Station pretended to be buyers. After arriving at Nanhai Qingfeng Food City in da li, Nanhai, they found that the big gold signboard at the door showed that it was a food wholesale market. But after entering the market, the reporter saw that it was simply a "wild zoo". There are four buildings, A, B, C and D, and the pavement on the first floor of each building sells various kinds of wild animals respectively.
In Buildings A and B, snakes such as pythons, cobras, banyan snakes, water snakes and Agkistrodon snakes are sold in all stalls facing north and south. In a stall selling pythons, the reporter saw the pythons with thick bowls curled up in the rusty iron cage, which was very scary. The reporter asked: "How much is the python today?" The stall owner glanced at the strange reporter and said, "240 yuan is one kilogram." At this time, two middle-aged men came over and greeted the stall owner warmly. The stall owner immediately found a large white cloth bag to cover the mouth of the iron cage containing the python, poured the python into the white cloth bag, tied the mouth of the bag, weighed it, and one middle-aged man paid for it. The other middle-aged man put the python on a pickup truck with a Guangdong A license plate at the market gate, and then they continued to wander around other stalls in the market.
Wholesale price of red panda 150 yuan/kg
In the north-south two rows of stalls in Building B and Building D, the reporter saw that there are birds and turtles sold here, including Guangdong key protected animals egrets and cormorants, plum finches, and more than 20 species of national third-class protected animals such as diphtheria noise, thrush, starling and embroidered eyes.
The essence of wild animals is concentrated in the stalls on both sides of Building D and Building C. The wild animals sold here include sable, sika deer, civet cat, red panda, beaver and civet.
At a stall selling red pandas at the intersection, the stall owner told reporters that the wholesale price is "whatever you want" per kilogram of 150 yuan. At the stall selling sika deer, the reporter saw that the beautiful sika deer was trapped in the iron cage and moaned, and a little girl was filling the whole sika deer into the foam box. The unfinished ones are placed everywhere, and flies are flying around naked dead sika deer.
One stall sells more than 100 civets a day.
The reporter saw in the C12 stall that the iron cages of the stall were densely arranged. It is full of all kinds of wild animals. In an iron cage at the door, there are a dozen sable, white fox, beaver and so on. The reporter noticed that the business of the stall was quite good, and more than a dozen civets were sold in less than 10 minutes.
The reporter asked a middle-aged stall owner: "How much is a civet?" The middle-aged stall owner said, "124 yuan a kilogram." A man in his thirties asked the shopkeeper for one. The shopkeeper found a green cage and tried to drive the civet into the green cage. Unexpectedly, the position was not set, and the civet quickly ran towards the street. The stall owner chased it for about ten meters before grabbing the civet’s tail and bringing it back. After weighing, the civet was sold at a price of 396 yuan. The reporter pretended to be a wholesaler and asked the middle-aged stall owner, "How many civets do you have here?" The middle-aged stall owner said, "How much do you want? Give a call in advance, as much as you want. " The reporter asked: "How many can you sell here a day?" The middle-aged stall owner was silent. At this time, a young man who was collecting money next to him said, "There are at least a hundred of them, otherwise how can we do business?"
Then the reporter came to C35 stall, where civets are also specially sold. The reporter asked: "What is the price of civets?" The independent reporter turned from C5 and asked, "How much does he pay?" The reporter said: "120 yuan is one kilogram." The stall owner said, "I’ll give you 114 yuan. It’s cheap. Buy one and go home." The reporter asked again: "Are you civets alive?" The stall owner said, "Can the goods that just came in today not be fierce?" The reporter pretended to discuss with his companions. The stall owner added, "Call as much as you want, and the price and quantity can be discussed."
"Special wild animals should come in the early morning."
After the reporter turned around, he came to the gate. At this time, the man who just bought a civet put the civet in a white iron cage at the door of the market management office to make a phone call. A manager came out and said to him, "How can you put it like this? Hurry up and drive the car away." The man said, then find a newspaper for me to cover up, or it’s really dangerous to put it out like this. At this moment, a middle-aged man came over and said, "Put it in a gunny bag. Come and I’ll help you find one." Then the middle-aged man found a yellow sack and helped put the civet cats and iron cages into the sack. The reporter pretended to help find the newspaper and sneaked into the management office. On the wall of the management office, the reporter only saw the food business license, but did not see any license to operate wild animals.
The reporter then lowered his voice and asked two security guards wearing camouflage uniforms next to him: "We turned around, why can’t we buy owls?" A security guard walked and said, "There is no such thing." Another 40-year-old security guard told reporters: "You can leave a phone number if you want. These will only be available at three or four o’clock in the morning. We are open all night. If you want special wildlife, you can come in the early hours of the morning and have everything you want." The reporter asked: "Is it really everything?" The security guard said, "Of course, if you want to cheat you, leave a phone number and contact you then. Some stall owners can deliver goods to your door. People often come here to check during the day, and the first-and second-class wild animals will not be taken out. "
The reporter then saw at the gate of the market that the cars parked here had Guangdong A, Guangdong H, Guangdong X and Guangdong E license plates. The reporter also saw that this food city, which has been transformed into a wildlife park, is located in a residential area with many surrounding communities.
Illegal business for more than two months was left unattended.
According to an insider, Nanhai Qingfeng Food City used to do food wholesale, but I don’t know why, but suddenly it started to operate wild animals in early September this year. The business in this market is the hottest from 7 pm to about 6 am the next day, and at least tens of thousands of wild animals are sold every day. Most of these wild animals are sold to restaurants and restaurants in Guangzhou, Nanhai, Shunde and surrounding cities.
Local residents said that it was originally a residential area, and it was not allowed to sell wild animals according to regulations, but I don’t know why it was illegally operated for several months and nobody took care of it.
