According to a popular science blogger, an Internet celebrity named "Timoko" posted a food video on the 12th. In the video, at the door of a shop, she dismantled a package, containing a huge size shark, which attracted many people to watch. After that, the net celebrity and others transported the shark to the countryside and divided the sharks to boil and barbecue. Jimu Journalists also noticed that the upper left corner of the video also wrote subtitles with "artificial breeding and edible". The popular science blogger posted the video screenshot on Weibo, and the screenshot showed that 77,000 people liked it.

Jimu Journalists noticed that there are more than 1 million fans in the video in the video, which mainly releases videos to make food with seafood. At present, the video of this shark can no longer be displayed.

"This is a shark, which belongs to the national second -level protection animal." The above -mentioned Kochi bloggers told Jimu Journalists that any behavior of fishing for landing, reserving and selling sharks is illegal, and the same crime of buying and selling. As for the video that the shark is artificially breeding, this statement is not credible. Due to the requirements of space, prey, etc., large predatory sharks cannot achieve commercial farming in the artificial environment. At present, only small sharks such as striped spots and bamboo sharks have been tried in China. Essence

Jimu Journalists found that the shark was included in the Appendix II of the International Trade Convention on Endangered Wild and Plant species, which is equivalent to my country's second -level protection animals. In March 2017, the Import and Export Management Office of my country's Endangered Species announced the "Wildlife or List of the International Convention for the People's Republic of China to conclude or participate in or restrict trade", which ranked among them.

The reporter contacted Zhou Zhuocheng, chairman of the Primary Water and Water Ecological Professional Committee of the Chinese Fisheries Association on this matter. He said that the shark in the video is indeed a shark, also known as the Great White Shark, which is a national second -level protected animal. According to the law, no matter how fishing and death, you need to abandon the sea, ashore, sales, and purchase illegal, and the shark -loving shark does not have artificially cultivated artificially.

Jimu Journalists tried privately to send the Internet celebrities and did not receive a reply yet. The reporter found that the IP of the net celebrity belongs to Sichuan. Among the videos she shot, the street scenes of Nanchang City often appear. The reporter had called the local 110 and reported to the police.
