Kill a Panda in China, and get death penalty

[Graham]

From China Daily,

A Chinese man who helped cut off panda fur after it was killed 17 years ago has been arrested, China Business News reported on Friday.

Zhang Chengwa, the brother-in-law of one of the men convicted of the panda murder, from Yangxian county in North China's Shaanxi province, went missing after he knew his conspirators had been arrested in March 1995.

Gao Jianyun was sentenced to a suspended death sentence, according to Yangxian county's People's Procuratorate. He Zhengqiang and Yuan Jinguang were sentenced to at least eight years in jail.

They committed the murder in Feb 1995 due to the high price for panda fur, around 300,000 yuan ($46,000), Gao Jianyun said.

Any one disagree?

No, we need the same for any type of murder.

Hi Andrew,

I was actually watching a documentary about poaching just last week.
It was on about various animals, Rhino, elephant etc.

It appears if you are an animal and you have a tusk or horn, then you are in great danger.

To see how the tusks are butchered out really leaves one with a sickening feeling of what the animal endured.

I agree with Paul,
Poaching like that = death penalty

And where is the market for these tusks, horns, fins, penises etc?

Have a look at the photo "Rhino Wars"

Brent Stirton of South Africa has won first prize Nature Stories for the "Rhino Wars" series. The picture, from a game reserve in Natal, shows a rhino which had had its horn cut off by poachers using a chainsaw.

endangered species = no respect for life then death is a perfect remedy.
