Is the "amphibian" toad (toad) a state-protected animal? What are the effects of traditional Chinese medicine toad?

Toad, also known as toad. Amphibians, there are many bumps on the body surface, there are poisonous glands, commonly known as toads, toads, toads. It is not only an agricultural guard for preying on pests, but also a combination of medicine, health care and delicious food, so it is known as "Bufo" and is a medicinal animal with high economic value. Is the toad an animal protected by the state? What are the effects of traditional Chinese medicine toad?

In May 2017, people reported that someone was catching toads by the stream, then the forest police rushed to the scene, arrested Zhang, who was catching toads with a flashlight, and released 87 toads on the spot. "is it illegal to catch a toad?" When Zhang was arrested by the police, he looked confused. After the court trial, Zhang violated the hunting laws and regulations and destroyed wildlife resources seriously and was sentenced to criminal detention for three months in accordance with the law.

Looking at the above two cases, I believe that many people have the same doubts as Zhang: it is illegal to catch toads and sparrows. Sparrows and toads can be seen everywhere in daily life, however, what many people do not know is that they have been listed as useful land wild animals protected by the state or have important economic and scientific research value, that is, "Sanyou animals".

What is the "three animals"?

"Sanyou animals" refers to more than 1700 species of terrestrial wild animals with important ecological, scientific and social values, including sparrows, frogs, geckos, toads (toads), pheasants, hares and various snakes. As for the "three animals", China's criminal law and related laws stipulate that the private capture of more than 20 (articles) constitutes a crime, the capture of more than 50 (articles) is a major criminal case, and more than 100 (articles) is a major criminal case.

In addition, China's Wildlife Protection Law stipulates that those who hunt wild animals that are not under special state protection must obtain a hunting license and be subject to the management of hunting quota. It is not enough to have legal procedures, and there are strict rules on when to allow hunting and how to hunt.
