Is it illegal to catch a sparrow and not kill it?

Violate the law. Sparrows are national "three haves" protected animals, and they are also national general protected wild animals, and any act of killing, **, and eating sparrows is illegal. China's criminal law stipulates that it is a crime to catch more than 20 wild sparrows without permission.

The passer is a collective name for 27 small bird species of the genus Sparrow in the family Ornithidae. Sparrows inhabit sparsely wooded areas, villages and farmland. In eastern China, the house sparrow is used as a sparrow in the town.

They are very similar in size and color. Generally, the upper body is brown and black patchy, so it is commonly known as sparrow. There are 9 primary flight feathers, the pale feathers of the outer feathers (except for the first one) are at the base and proximal ends, slightly enlarged, intertwined, slightly divided into two transverse spots, especially obvious when flying.

The mouth is short, thick and strong, conical in shape, with a slightly curved peak. With the exception of tree sparrows, both males and females are of different colors. There are 27 species in the world, of which 5 are distributed in China.

The distribution is quite widespread. In addition to the extremely cold Arctic and Antarctic and alpine deserts, it is distributed all over the world.

Legal basis. Article 341 of the Criminal Law Whoever illegally hunts or kills rare or endangered wildlife under key national protection, or illegally purchases, transports, or kills rare or endangered wildlife under key national protection and the products thereof, is sentenced to up to five years imprisonment or short-term detention and is also fined; where the circumstances are serious, a sentence of between 5 and 10 years imprisonment and a concurrent fine is to be given; where the circumstances are especially serious, a sentence of 10 or more years imprisonment and a concurrent fine or confiscation of property is to be given.

In the forbidden hunting. The use of prohibited tools in the area is either prohibited.

The method used to hunt is suspected of being constructed.

Guilty of illegal hunting. This sin, in fact, is extremely easy to construct once.

I used bird hunting in my own yard.

Nets, even if a bird is not caught, will violate the Criminal Code and are suspected of constituting the crime of illegal hunting. Actually, for the big.

Scale the use of prohibited tools and forbidden.

Use the method of bird hunting, for the local.

The destructive power of the ecological balance is still very large.

So for this kind of behavior one

It is necessary to crack down hard. And for that kind of bug, we have to crack down hard. As for Na Sheng, although he uses prohibited tools to catch birds, but he catches one or two sparrows, simply playing or raising them himself, whether it can be dealt with lightly, such as administrative punishment, warning, fine or administrative detention.

There is a principle in the criminal law called moderation, if a lighter punishment can be adopted instead of a criminal punishment, which can play a corresponding role in prevention and punishment, in fact, administrative punishment can be adopted, rather than necessarily criminal punishment. Abide by the law and stay away from illegal crimes.

In accordance with Article 341, Paragraph 2, Article 61, Article 64, Article 67, Paragraph 3, Article 72, Paragraph 1, and Article 73 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China.

1. Paragraph 3, Article 15 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China and Article 6 of the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Criminal Cases of Destruction of Wildlife Resources, the judgment is as follows:

1. Defendant Yu XX committed the crime of illegal hunting and was sentenced to two months' short-term detention with a four-month suspended sentence; (The probationary period of a suspended sentence is calculated from the date on which the judgment is determined.) ）

2. One sparrow (dead body) involved in the case is to be recovered in accordance with law, and one bird net, the tool used in the crime, is to be confiscated in accordance with law (the investigating organ is responsible for handling it).

Sparrows are also protected animals and cannot be caught. Your circumstances are minor and there is no penalty.

I just found out that sparrows are national protected animals.

Ignorance is the equivalent of killing an adult sparrow to raise it. I think you should go to prison and learn common sense from gifted elders.

If you catch a sparrow or keep a parrot, you'll be told you're breaking the law. Let's release it quickly.

I just found out that sparrows are national protected animals. You should go to jail and learn common sense from gifted elders.

If it's really an ordinary sparrow, it's generally fine. It's not as scary as it says, except for some rare breeds.

It is illegal to catch a sparrow. Because sparrows are second-class protected animals of the state, it is illegal to catch one privately, and more than 20 of them constitute a crime and are suspected of illegal hunting. The crime of illegal hunting refers to the conduct of violating hunting laws and regulations by hunting in prohibited areas, during prohibited hunting periods, or by using prohibited tools or methods, destroying rare birds and animals or other wildlife resources, where the circumstances are serious.

If the object of the perpetrator's illegal hunting involves rare or endangered wildlife that is under key national protection, it shall be punished as the crime of endangering precious or endangered wildlife.

It is legal to keep sparrows.

Sparrows are mostly active in places where there are human beings, and they are extremely lively, bold and approachable, but they are very vigilant and curious. Nest in human houses, such as eaves and wall holes, sometimes occupy the nests of house swallows, and in the wild, nest in tree holes.

They can sometimes be found nesting in individual trees, however sparrows are flocks in all four seasons of the year, with old groups of trees with many holes, and are often their favorite nesting spots.

Sparrows are native to Europe, Africa, and Asia. In the Americas, Australia, and other noisy areas of the world, human settlers introduced some species, especially in urban and human settlements, and rapidly naturalized. For example, the house sparrow is densely distributed in North America and Australia, parts and countries of southern and eastern Africa, and in many parts of South America.

Sparrow habits

Sparrows are mostly active in places where there are human beings, and they are extremely lively, bold and approachable, but they are very vigilant and curious. Nest more in human houses, such as eaves, wall holes, when there are sails to occupy the nest of house swallows, in the wild, nest in tree holes.

They can sometimes be found nesting in individual trees, however sparrows are flocks in all four seasons of the year, with old groups of trees with many holes, and are often their favorite nesting spots.

In addition to the breeding and brooding stages, sparrows are very social birds. In autumn, they tend to form large flocks of hundreds or even thousands, called finches, while in winter they mostly form small flocks of a dozen or dozens of birds. These creatures are very intelligent and alert, and have a strong memory, unlike many other small finch.

If a sparrow is rescued, it will show a closeness to the human form that has rescued it, and it will last for a long time. In places where sparrows live in high concentrations, they will behave very much together when there are invasive birds until they have driven the invaders away. Sparrows tend to behave very bravely when it comes to brooding.
