Recently, the police in Nanning City, Guangxi have uncovered a case of illegal use of the second-level national protected animal thrush for "bird fighting" gambling, seized 40 thrushes (live) and detained 3 people under criminal custody.
The gamblers are members of the WeChat group of a bird-loving association. The organizers charge 80 yuan per person for the "ticket fee" and release them to the casino in the woods.
When two thrushes were fighting in the bamboo cage, the people present kept betting on winning or losing.
On the day of his arrest, a total of 20,000 yuan was bet on the three bird-fighting games, among which the gamblers made a maximum of 16,000 yuan in a single game.
