Chinese Frog Hunters Poison Rivers

By Anatoly Medetsky

From countless frogs to endangered leopards, wildlife in the Russian
Far East has fallen prey to the proximity of China, whose population
believes in the healing powers and culinary delicacies of certain wild
plants and animals.

But scores of poachers crossing over from China to sweep Russian
forests, rivers and sea bays have also begun to pose a health threat
for local residents, ecologists say.

In one of the most recent developments poachers have taken to
poisoning rivers on the Russian side of the border, which gives them
quick and easy access to numerous dead frogs, says Pavel Fomenko, a
biodiversity programs coordinator for the international environmental
group WWF.

Contaminated water then drifts downstream endangering anyone who would
drink from the river. According to Fomenko, two forest rangers
reported recently that they passed blood in their stools after they
used such water to make tea.

About 10 other rivers in the area around Vladivostok have been
contaminated by such practices that continued throughout this past
winter, Fomenko says. Frogs are considered a delicacy in China.

Another brutal way of catching frogs is electrocution. According to
police reports, Chinese poachers are often caught carrying electricity
generators and two electrodes that they stick into the water. Last
year, customs agents seized 129 kilograms of dried frogs at the
border, which means that tens of thousands of these creatures had been
killed.

"This is ecological terrorism," Fomenko exclaims describing the
Chinese influence on the regional wildlife.

Sometimes poachers threaten as much as regional biodiversity because
their targets include endangered Siberian tigers and leopards. Police
confiscated three leopard hides from Russians last year and
environmentalists maintain that the leopards were killed on contracts
with Chinese.

The Far Eastern leopard is facing extinction, with only about 30
specimens left in the wild and any killing may prove critical. Leopard
and tiger parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine.

The Chinese are interested in a surprisingly wide range of things such
as bear paws, ginseng or deer penises, depending on what is in demand
in China in a particular year, Fomenko says. Apart from frogs, paws of
Himalayan bears have been a hit lately, and customs agents seized 190
of them last year. Seizures of animal penises peaked in 1993 when a
total of 731 deer and fur seal penises were confiscated at the
border.

Eager to collect evidence, agents of the Federal Border Guard Service
put up an ambush and filmed two Chinese pouring herbicides into a
shallow river late last year. Minutes later dozens of frogs came belly
up and one of the Chinese, clad in a khaki jacket and high rubber
boots, walked about in the water stuffing them into a plastic bag.

Tex, maybe you need to get one of those penises, and maybe some nuts as well.

No need. Unlike you. I work for my money and support myself without
being a burden on society - the true measure of being a man.

Did you get the cost of living raise in your last government handout,
er, "disability" check Mr. CONservative?

Why of course, all Social Security recipients got the COL. It is good to know that
someday you will be refusing to accept SS. (yeah, right).

Fish Sauce.When I was in Vietnam I saw how they get their fish
sauce.They tack a fish to a board with a groove or a narrow grooved
stick that is fastened to the bottom of the board.They slit the fish's
belly with a knife and they have a bottle suspended from the board with
a wire.The fish ''sauce'' drains down into the bottle.

Doesn't it strike you as peculiar that some the greatest defenders of
the obscenity called Washington are also the ones sucking the most money
from the tax payer? One of them even had the nerve to post that
Washington had sent him over 50 thousand dollars last year. He spends it
on alcohol. One of the other ones lives off his wife's business earnings
AND the tax payer.

Beats the obscenity called Ottawa hands down.

Actually Ottawa probably sucks more money (percentage wise) from the tax payer.

Yep, back pay from the VA and back pay from SS. Takes a while to get those cases
settled. About as long as it takes waiting for health care up in CanaDuh!

He spends it

I actually spend the bulk of it on my house payment.

And, if you spent less time sitting on your monkey butt worrying about what other

I know it's gonna be hard for you, considering your mental deficiencies, but give it

Mike:
Introspection is beyond their mental capacities. Even if it weren't,
they haven't the integrity to admit to their hypocrisy - regardless
of how transparently obvious it is.

Narcissistically rationalizing their hand outs with the "I'm entitled
to it" defense. All the while voting for CO Nservative hack
politicians who will ensure that other citizens are deprived of all
the benefits they receive e.g. medical care.

Notice how they all come out of the woodwork frothing at the mouth,
rallying to one another's defense, whenever this subject is broached.
It's like yelling "Hey Rube" at the carnival.

Isn't mental deficiency your "disability"? 50 large? WOW! Beats
working for a living I will grant you that. This "disability" hustle
is a much more lucrative racket than I imagined.

You should get together with my neighbor for barbeque. He's to
"disabled" to work for a living also...I see him outside working hard
labor on his house and luxury automobiles often. All twisted up like a
pretzel working underneath all manner of things.

Odd thing is another neighbor suffers from muscular dystrophy - is in
a wheelchair and suffers intense pain. But he manages to drive himself
to work everyday and then drags himself up two flights of stairs to
get to his desk. He's quite a man.

The people living in trailers, who you are looking down your nose at,

You are a real class act.
