Previously, on the morning of September 3, Mr. Hoang Ta Lieu, residing in Lang Cu village, Coc Lau commune, Lao Cai province, while working as a hired gun, discovered a sack thrown along a residential road.
Realizing that there were unusual signs, Mr. Lieu opened the sack to check and suddenly discovered 3 small wild cats inside and reported the incident to Coc Lau Commune Police.
Upon receiving the information, Coc Lau Commune Police quickly sent officers to the scene and brought the 3 individuals to the headquarters. On September 4, Coc Lau Commune Police and Mr. Hoang Ta Lieu handed over 3 wild cats to Hoang Lien Tourism and Conservation Center.
It is known that rare wild cat individuals have the scientific name prionailurus Bengalensis, and are on the list of endangered and rare species (list II B) according to Decree 06/2019/ND-CP dated January 22, 2019 of the Government.
The police recommend that people who discover wild animals, especially rare species, promptly report to local authorities or authorities for appropriate handling measures.
People absolutely must not arbitrarily keep, trade, slaughter or use wild animals because this is a violation of the law. Every small action of the community will contribute significantly to protecting natural resources and maintaining ecological balance for future generations.
