When I rescued the pangolin - he was going about his biznez. However, I did not interview (Dr Dolittle) him to ask him if he was from the wild, escaped, or a domesticated pet.
I did not make any assumptions because at that time I was in a residential quarter in the city. If I found any animal now where I presently live I may assume he is wild because I live at the foot of the Mian Shan Mountain Eco Park.
Great. We all heard your opinions. Thanks for those and the history lesson. - Who was this sarcastic remark intended for? Before I answer any specific questions.
Because if you do not call an organization some jerk will either eat him, sell him or take him home as a pet - there is a reason for this fascination.
Every large city has a Mayor's Hotline (12345). When I want a particular issue resolved, I have all my university students randomly call in with a prepared script that will be recorded when one calls into 12345.
This has ALWAYS worked for me and always gives me the results I am looking for.
When multiple calls are received for the same issue, it goes directly to the minister who handles that field and will be floored at the Mayor's meetings.
In the last 12 years I have made more than 200 reports and every single issue was resolved within a few days, some took a few weeks, very few took a few months and one was just completed that took 1.5 years. So 12345 does work and does guarantee positive results.
Work smarter, not harder! When one understands how to use the system it will produce positive results. A few well placed phone calls to the appropriate agencies will get immediate results (Even from Kunming to Guangzhou).
In my last residential quarter we found a pangolin in the courtyard. A nasty guy came with a bag with the intent to carry him off but I physically stopped him while my wife called the PO-lice and animal control.
Since Mr. Polar Bear is not in Kunming I have no idea how this issue can be resolved - it must be done by the people in GZ.

A bit more out of town is the Black Neck Crane Nature Reserve.
Lots of history here. For me there is a lot to see but for others they may feel differently.
No results found.

发布者deposit of 99 yuan.. deposit is automatically returned upon each completed payment.
All the 99 yuan deposits can NOT make up for what I saw today during my 40 minute bus ride.
3 bikes which had the seat completely removed and 1 bike that had the from wheel removed.
Cost of repairs and cost of sending workers to do the repairs - Haha!

发布者Can someone please tell me the meaning of OFO?
Kunming's bike share options: A user guide
发布者What did I see today?
Saw 2 OFO workers wearing yellow vests with letters OFO on the back repairing over a dozen bikes in a street corner near my house.
Saw 2 OFO bikes chained near the rear entrance of Wicker basket. Apparantly they are now OWNED by 2 workers there.
I predict that OFO will be out of business in 3 months. Once a person gets the combination to a bike, it becomes private property and the company can no longer get any revenue from that bike.
Kids are smart and have time and they knnow that people seldom turn the dial of the combination or they just turn the 2 center dials. Within a few minutes of fiddling with a lock anyone can usually get the combination at which time the bike becomes private property. This is why most of the bikes I see kids riding are the yellow OFO bikes.
With no GPS there is no way to track these bikes - Hehe!

发布者I wonder how many people who have commented here have actually used this program here in Kunming.
Bikes used in other provinces or in other countries is NOT the same as here in Kunming.
Since the bikes are scattered everywhere and people are hiding the bikes so they can have sole use of it - how can any person find a bike to use. Unless one is willing to walk long distances and has already paid to be able to use all 3 types of bikes - this program is absolutely useless.
I caught a slumdog hiding a bike in my garden 2 days ago. I see plenty of bikes all over the city so there are plenty to choose from but hundreds of the bikes are intentioanlly hidden after use so they can be used at the doorstep the following day.
In my Resd Qtr I saw 3 bikes totally destroyed - 1 had a flat, other had rear wheel missing and other had handle bars bent. How does anyone bend handle bars unless it is done intentionally. This is just 2 months after the program has begun.
The bikes need to be put in a bike rack where they are easily accessible to all as is in many other civilized cities here in China like Gansu and Guangxi. I am sure there are others.
