Five arrested for poisoning swans, ducks in Dongting Lake Wetland

To prevent the habitat of wintering birds from turning into a hunting ground, local officials in Dongting Lake Wetland of Central China's Hunan province have pledged stricter law enforcement.

By Monday, a patrol led by the local forestry administration found that 15 swans and 31 wild ducks wintering in the East Dongting Lake had been poisoned to death. Two swans almost died but were saved after being sent to a nearby clinic.
