Recently, when the highway traffic police were conducting inspections on Huzhou Expressway, they found three little white tigers in a business car. When they saw the three little white tigers, the driver even called the little white tiger a Persian cat to escape, but in the end they were caught by the traffic police. At around 8:40 pm on January 15, in the Qingshan Service Area of G25 Hangzhou-Ningdao Expressway, Zhao Minsen, a police officer from the Second Brigade of the Huzhou Detachment of the Expressway Traffic Police, inspected the vehicle as usual. A Buick business car with license plate number Su D bypassed the inspection area and drove into the parking lot behind. The actions of the
The commercial vehicle caused suspicion from the police at the scene, and Zhao Minsen immediately stepped forward to inspect it. As soon as he approached the vehicle, Zhao Minsen smelled a stinking smell. He opened the trunk and found that there were several cages in the car, and the animals inside looked a bit strange. Zhao Minsen said: "At first glance, the three little guys look a bit like young tigers, but after looking at them for a long time, they feel like cats of a certain breed." He was unsure of his mind and called his colleagues to see them together. Based on the description online, they initially determined that this was a white tiger.
The police quickly took the driver Yang to the booth to inquire. Yang initially argued that it was not a white tiger but a Persian cat. However, after being identified by the local forest police, these are indeed three white tigers. At this time, Yang defended himself as an employee of the Changzhou Wildlife Park in Jiangsu and a white tiger transported to the zoo. The police asked him to show his work ID and transportation certificate, but Yang could not take it out. After
, Zhao Minsen contacted the police station in the jurisdiction and handed over the relevant personnel, vehicles, and three little white tigers to Wuxing Forest Public Security for treatment. At present, the little white tiger has been sent to Anji County Wildlife Rescue Center for foster care.
The police said that from the current situation, Yang has violated the provisions of "illegal transportation and carrying national or local key protected wild animals" in the "Wildlife Protection Law". Not only will the White Tiger be confiscated, but also faces administrative penalties. In addition, once the police verified that the white tiger transported by Yang was illegal income, they would pursue criminal liability in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law. It is understood that the white tiger is a variant of the tiger, and in China's "National List of Key Protected Wild Animals", the tiger is listed as a first-class protected animal. Internationally, it is also listed as a Class I protected animal in the CITES Appendix to the Washington Convention, and endangered animal in the red catalog of the World Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
