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.

Kunming to Vietnam border by rail soon to be reality
发布者Just the smokers - all other human beings are OK - I take it it you are one of those smokers.
Kunming to Vietnam border by rail soon to be reality
发布者Nasty smokers always fill the most ventilated areas with smoke then it blows into where I am trying to sleep. Cant wait till they bring in the death penalty for all smokers.
Season's greetings from the Kunming PSB

This article is a great example of a failed project. First of all, PSB should have notified the chinese, not the foreigners. When my wife called the 12319 number they had no idea what she was talking about. Secondly, if they want to put a stop to this mess they should stop the sale of this completely, not just go after illegal vendors who did not get a license to sell. Just another attack on the poor.
Kunming and Beijing worlds apart on issue of smoking
发布者Smoking is nasty and smokers suck the big one.
Season's greetings from the Kunming PSB
发布者Thats not the point - they make this annual notice as if there is concern for the welfare and safety of the people - public notice reminding holiday revelers to mind their manners during the imported holiday season when it has nothing to do with safety - In an effort to limit such mayhem, the PSB has forbidden all unlicensed curbside peddlers from selling feixue (飞雪) products.
Dont you get it? If this was about safety they would not allow this to be done any more - all they do is limit those who sell the stuff like spray and fireworks - limit those who paid for the priviledge - those who dont pay for the license dont get to sell.
This notice has nothing to do with foreigners, or X-mas, or safety - it is about stopping unlicensed vendors!
