Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 576 This is not a rescue activity, but a conflict of interests!

"Are you crazy?" Takeda didn't even use honorifics, he used "you" directly, "You gave me a reason and purpose for protecting animals, and asked me to suspend the hunting season and arrest the second-ranked contestant ?”

"Director Matsumoto, don't you know how popular this show is recently? Over 100 million people around the world are watching it, and tens of millions of people in China know it. Every day, there are more than 10 million viewers sitting in front of TV or mobile phones!"

"This is no longer a small entertainment program led by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department! It's our face, not to mention suspicion, even if there is solid evidence!"

"No, Mr. Goda." Kiyonaga Matsumoto's tone was very serious, "What you said just now is the purpose of Tiangola's publicity."

The scale of this company is incredible, from the Americas to Europe, to Asia, almost all over the world except Antarctica.

Using the principle that business is protection, they purchase hunting licenses all over the world and carry out a series of legal activities.

It is not that wild animals cannot be traded, but must be legally compliant.

However, legal trade has two major practical problems: one is high taxes and fees, and the other is the small quantity. Driven by huge profits, these people don't care about any circular development.

Even this hunting season, the Japanese officials have had an intersection with Tiangra.

"There is an intersection? Why didn't I know?" Takeda Takeshi was dumbfounded.

"This has nothing to do with the Metropolitan Police Department. It's an activity of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. They sold all the black bear carcasses they hunted this time to Tiangola. It's normal that Team Leader Goda doesn't know." Kiyomaga Matsumoto explained After a while, "But it doesn't matter."

"Tiangra has many clubs, multiple auctions, maintains friendly exchanges with TNC (The Nature Conservancy), and organizes many activities, claiming that hunting is also a means of ecological protection."

But the only problem is.

"You watch this again." Kiyomaga Matsumoto handed the second video to Takeda Takeda.

The content of this video is relatively simple.

Tiange Lie was exploded.

An undercover agent attended the International Hunting Club's annual meeting in Reno, Nevada, for a trophy-incentive hunt in which billionaires can buy the chance to kill a massive beast like an elephant, lion, leopard or rhino .

Once the matter was disclosed, it caused an uproar.

This year, tianusGra suffered a heavy blow. Although it cleared up its relationship with its clubs in time and dismissed a large number of employees, claiming that they were "outsourced", "uninformed", and "neglected to supervise", their vitality was still severely damaged.

"Look at this list again."

Takeda had already expected it in his heart, and as expected, he saw Berson Gay on it.

"According to what I have found so far, Berson Gay had joined Tiangola before the incident happened, but the time was very short, less than half a year, and then he was pushed out because of this incident, and later Sentenced to up to ten months in prison."

"I heard that someone saw Bosen in the third month after the incident, but Tiangola explained that it was similar in appearance. At that time, it triggered another wave of public opinion offensive, thinking that it was Tiangola who provided the bail."

Takeda Takeshi was speechless, he never expected that the seemingly kind old man would have such a wealth of experience.

There are three major illegal trades in the world, the first is drug smuggling, the second is arms smuggling, and the third is wildlife trafficking.

According to data released by the U.S. State Council, wildlife smuggling is second only to drugs and arms, with an annual transaction volume of 10 billion to 20 billion U.S. dollars.

According to related reports, 50,000 primates, 140,000 African ivory, 10 million reptile skins, 15 million mammals, 350 million tropical fish, and more than 100,000 tons of rhino horn are illegally traded in the world every year. 10 billion ugly dollars.

Among them, the annual transaction volume of smuggling endangered animals reaches at least 2 billion to 3 billion U.S. dollars.

According to John Scanlon, the former Secretary-General of the United Nations Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), the illegal trade of species listed in CITES is worth about 20 billion U.S. dollars per year, but the illegal trade of all wild species Trade can be worth around $200 billion a year.

The amount is astonishingly large.

These figures undoubtedly prove one point: the wildlife smuggling trade has formed a complete industrial chain. By connecting people of different colors and cultures around the world, it is as simple as buying and selling ordinary products.

But Berson Gay was actually one of them, and even decades later, he changed his face and appeared in front of everyone in a way that no one expected.

It has been more than ten years since Tiangola's accident, and no one has remembered Berson Gay for a long time. Even if they do remember, the changes in the past ten years make it difficult to recognize the high-spirited hunter who has become the current hunter. An old man in his fifties.

Matsumoto Kiyosaga doesn't know whether Tiangra is innocent or not, and whether it is really a lack of supervision, but Bosen Gay, this is definitely not a good person!

Even Kiyomaga Matsumoto suspects that Tiangola itself is not clean, maybe the tail-docking was just to turn a group of men from the bright side to the dark side.

However, for things without evidence, Matsumoto Kiyomachi just thought about it.

It is a pity that Matsumoto and Takeda lacked some insight after all. If they can reverse the name of tianusGra-Gratianus.

Gratian, the eldest son of Valentinian I, the emperor in the western part of the Roman Empire, was established as Augustus by his father at the age of 8, and his teacher was the poet Deximus Magnus Aussonius.

He loved hunting all his life, not only as a hobby, but also as a life, and eventually lost his empire because of it.

"However, what does this have to do with Dolphin Bay?" After talking for a long time, Takeda still didn't understand.

Even if Bosen really has a lot of black material, why should he be arrested, wouldn't it be good to turn a blind eye?

It is better to leave things like messengers of justice to others and have nothing to do with them.

Kiyomi Matsumoto gritted his teeth immediately: "Because these people are helping Richard! We have been unable to catch them!"

Matsumoto Qingchang finally figured it out.

Obviously, this is what Burson and the gang behind him did.

The guy who started as a wild animal, how could he forget the sweetness after tasting it.

"Their ultimate goal is to make us suffer international condemnation and have to give up catching dolphins under the pressure of public opinion. Then, a large number of wild dolphins are uncatchable and eventually become theirs!"

Kiyoshi Matsumoto spoke loudly, he was kept in the dark, and Richard was also deceived.

Benefits are about supply and demand.

Doesn't the demand disappear if no one catches it?

Impossible, the demand will only become stronger by then, and the price of dolphins will be even higher!

This group of animal traffickers is aiming at this point, just like merchants slandering the quality of their peers' products, they want to monopolize this market!

What Taiji Town has to face is not a rescue operation at all, but a group of sharks that smell blood, and a group of more greedy monsters.

This is clearly a competition for interests!

"We must defend the interests of Taiji Town, and we cannot let them succeed!"

"Gangtian Wujun, please, even if the hunting season is not suspended, but Bosen must be arrested and all the people behind them must be found out!"
