Four seas network: Black spotted frog is a three protected animal, that is, a terrestrial wild animal with important ecological, scientific and social values protected by the state. Recently, five men drove from Chengdu to Shifang countryside and were criminally detained by Shifang public security organ according to law for catching dozens of wild black spotted frogs.

Zhou and Zhang are all from Zigong, Sichuan. They usually do business in Chengdu. On May 20, 2019, when several people had lunch, Zhou proposed to catch frogs in Yinfeng Town, Shifang City. At about 18:00, Zhou called his friend and asked him to drive to pick up himself and Zhang. After the car arrived, Zhou put the prepared battery, headlights and one-piece water pants on the car. Due to the fear of dark, Zhou called Jiang, the worker in his factory, and another worker, Chen, took the initiative to go with Zhou.

At about 21:00, five people drove to Yinfeng Town, Shifang, and parked the car at the empty dam at the gate of a Chuanxiong base in shuanghuai village. Due to Zhang's myopia, he couldn't see the road clearly in the dark, so Zhang left the guard car to wait for Zhou's four people to catch the frog and prepare to drive to pick him up. The remaining four people divided their work. Two people put on batteries and put on headlights. The other two took headlights and small flashlights and began to catch frogs in the rice fields of shuanghuai village.

In the early morning of May 21, villagers nearby found flickering lights and suspicious figures shaking in the rice field. They suspected that there were thieves, so they called the police. After receiving the alarm, the police of Yinfeng police station dispatched the police quickly. At about 0:20, the police stopped Zhou and other four people who caught frogs at the rice field side of shuanghuai village, and seized the wild frogs captured by the four people. After that, Zhang, who is responsible for driving and receiving, will be blocked at the parking point. After counting the frogs collected on site, there are more than 70 living frogs, which are identified as black spotted frogs.

After trial, the suspect Zhou and other 5 people confessed to the illegal facts of catching frogs. At present, 5 suspect, Zhou and others, have been taken criminal coercive measures by Shifang public security according to law, and now the case is being further processed.
