A trip to Nagqu, Tibet, took several tourists by surprise! They came across a rare and dead animal, the Tibetan antelope. When one of them tried to pull out the horns of the Tibetan antelope, his companions immediately stopped him.
Several tourists came to a tourist attraction in Nagqu, Tibet. While enjoying the view, they stumbled upon the remains of a Tibetan antelope. The vultures and eagles were gnawing on the skeleton, and the scene was quite shocking.
Just as everyone stopped to watch, a man suddenly had a bold idea. He stared at the two beautiful horns on the head of the Tibetan antelope, and his eyes were straight. "The sheep are dead, and it's a waste to keep the horns here. Why don't I pull it off and take it back, maybe it's worth some money!" He thought to himself, and then walked towards the carcass of the Tibetan antelope.
Just as the man reached out to make a move, his companion hurriedly stopped him. "Are you crazy? That's a national protected animal! It's illegal to steal the horns of a Tibetan antelope, and if we get caught, we'll be miserable! The companion's words made the man sober up instantly. Only then did he realize that he had almost made a big mistake, and quickly withdrew his palm and left the scene with palpitations.
Afterwards, several tourists made videos of the experience and shared it online. In the video, they tell the story in detail and call on everyone to raise awareness of conservation and care for rare animals. This video attracted attention, and many netizens said that it was fortunate that the man's companion stopped it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Why is stealing Tibetan antelope horns severely punished by law? The Tibetan antelope is a national first-class protected animal in mainland China and is a rare and endangered species. According to the Law on the Protection of People's Republic of China Wild Animals, hunting, killing, purchasing, transporting, and selling wild animals under national key protection and their products are all illegal acts, and if the circumstances are serious, they will constitute a crime.
The horns of the Tibetan antelope are the most precious parts of the Tibetan antelope. In the past, it was regarded as a rare medicinal material, and a large number of Tibetan antelopes were poached and on the verge of extinction. It was not until a series of conservation measures were introduced that the Tibetan antelope population was restored. Today, the trade in Tibetan antelope horns has been banned, and anyone who illegally possesses them will be severely punished.
Although the man did not take the initiative to hunt the Tibetan antelope, his possession of the antelope's horns has violated the wildlife protection law. Fortunately, his companion stopped it in time to avoid an unnecessary trouble. This incident is also a wake-up call for everyone: everyone has a responsibility to protect wild animals, and any illegal possession of wild animals and their products may be punished by law.
