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.

Kunming's bike share options: A user guide
发布者What a catastrophe! Recently visited Nanning, Guangxi which also has a bike program. All the bikes are uniform in color (Orange) and there is 1 type of payment method. They are neatly placed in bike racks all over the city. They come in clusters of 20 and they are found at every subway station in groups of 20, 40, and 60 depending on location. There are cameras mounted on either side of the bike racks for safety and supervision. People can easily find the bike racks and use the bikes and return them to conveniently located bike racks in other parts of the city.
Kunming has 3 types of bikes and 3 types of payment. There are very few bike racks so there are no central locations to get a bike if you need them. I live at the edge of the city in a village and there are bikes scattered everywhere. The people here use them, drive them home and park the bike it in front of their door where no one else can use them. They now have their own private bikes that they can use and abuse and when it gets destroyed they just go get another one. The bike sits idle all day until that person (Temporary owner) is ready to use it again. Kunming should learn from the many other cities that use bikes and create a system that serves all. I am sure the companies who operate these bikes will lose a lot of money from this program.
Celebrating a Miao Christmas in Yunnan
发布者I enjoy reading the articles on this site but what really drives me nuts is when the article does not clearly state where this place is located - a basic essential in writing - missing.
Village name is great - how about a county and a prefecture along with that.
Very annoying and NOT the first time.
Fuxian shampoo incident becomes national topic
发布者1 - Once the image was published on Chinese social media the firestorm began, and continues unabated nearly two weeks later.
2 - although some more vocal microbloggers have called for a police investigation and arrests.
I can teach reading and comprehension for a small fee.
