A man named Lai, a retired police officer in Miaoli County, who is known as a “pest hunter”, placed wild boar cranes everywhere on the pretext of “removing harmful wild boar for farmers”. The landowner accused him of trespassing on private land to lay traps, causing Many nearby creatures were harmed, ranging from amputations to death. Our reporter actually went to the Bamboo Shoot Garden in Miaoli and found that many dogs on the hills there had only three legs left, and some even had only two legs. Lai Nan was also accused of privately slaughtering wild boars and selling them online. Compared with While the price of ordinary pork is 70 or 80 yuan per catty, Lai Nan charges a high price of 350 yuan per catty for game mountain pork.

It is understood that a man surnamed Lai retired from the police and hunted wild boar full-time. He posted a selfie on Facebook holding a sickle high, and wrote “Get ready to go out.” Farmers of crops, poultry, livestock or aquatic products may be hunted or slaughtered.” As a gold medal to avoid death, under the banner of eliminating pests for farmers, up to a hundred wild boars are hunted every year.

Lai Nan was also accused of killing the wild boars he had hunted privately and selling them at a high price of 350 yuan per catty. However, because there was no direct slaughter or other evidence, the competent authorities could not punish him. Lai Nan was also accused of this. A Facebook group was established to communicate with many “comrades” and even posted a bloody picture of a group of dogs surrounding wild boars and biting them. The wild boars that Lai Nan hunts are of all sizes. Compared with the Aboriginal hunter ethics, as long as there are traces of small wild boar next to the wild boar’s footprints, no traps will be placed. This seems quite ironic.

Lai Nan directly posted on Facebook that he butchered and sold wild boar meat privately, asking for 350 yuan per catty, attracting many people to leave messages below hoping to buy it. (Picture/reproduced from the person’s Facebook)

It is reported that in addition to hunting wild boars, Lai Nan also sells spring whips in the club that he has improved and developed from traditional wild boar cranes to make them more lethal. The price of each set is about 900 yuan, and he claims to have applied for a patent, but in fact online After querying, I cannot see the relevant patent font size. According to existing regulations, in addition to the New Taipei City Government’s “New Taipei City Animal Protection Autonomous Ordinance”, the manufacture, sale, display, rental, loan or use of animal traps or metal lasso (boar traps) are completely prohibited. Apart from stipulating fines ranging from NT$15,000 to NT$75,000, there is no central regulation to regulate this. The only regulation is Article 14-2 of the Animal Protection Law, which stipulates that animal clippers shall not be manufactured, sold, displayed or imported. There is no wild boar crane in the project. It can be said that currently, except for New Taipei City, there is absolutely no punishment for wild boar cranes in the country.

Although Lai Nan placed wild boar traps everywhere on the mountain tops, causing the dogs raised by nearby residents to be trapped in traps, almost only three legs were left. However, some farmers had no choice but to say that as long as the wild boars came, they would indeed cause crop damage. Pigs can eat an average of 100 kilograms of oranges a day, but the dogs he raises have all suffered from wild boars. He only hopes that Lai Nan will check at least once every two days after placing the trap to prevent other small animals from suffering. harm.

It can be found on Lai Nan’s Facebook that the wild boars he “removed” were killed in large and small groups. Compared with the aborigines who never set traps for wild boars with small wild boars, it seems quite ironic. (Picture/reproduced from the person’s Facebook)

Huang Xuanfu, chairman of the Stray Animal Protection Association, also took out the animal clips he found when clearing wild boar traps in mountainous areas and said that although the relevant units have clearly prohibited their use, related traps can still be seen during the removal process. He pointed out that although Lai Nan was already notorious in the local area, the relevant units were pushing the ball against each other and were even afraid of Lai Nan threatening to file a lawsuit. They just wanted to “do more things than do less things”, which made Lai Nan so unscrupulous so far.

In response, Zhang Junyi, director of the Miaoli County Animal Control Station, pointed out that people in Beihe, Dawu, and Zhuolan areas of Gongguan Township in Miaoli County use boar cranes privately almost every month, resulting in the amputation of wild animals. The Ministry of Agriculture has already banned it. Regarding the removal of the wild boar crane in Beihe Village on April 20, the Animal Control Office confiscated the wild boar crane in accordance with the law, and there was no wrongdoing. Lai Nan later admitted that he had placed the wild boar crane in question, and the Animal Control Station would also notify Lai later. The man came to the case to explain and was punished in accordance with the law.

In response to Lai Nan’s claim on Facebook that he was hunting wild boars in accordance with Article 21 of the Wilderness Conservation Law, the Miaoli County Government pointed out that Lai Nan’s hunting of wild boar clearly violated Article 19 of the Wilderness Conservation Law. Those who hunt animals with traps or special hunting tools will be punished in accordance with the law. As for the hunting and killing of wild animals that harm crops in Article 21 of the Wildlife Conservation Law, you must first apply for permission from the competent authority. Within a certain range, The use of qualified hunting equipment to catch within a certain period of time “is not a misconception like Lai Nan’s own”.
