Ge Pengfei said: ‘This afternoon, I was resting at home and heard the pigeons calling. I came out and saw a ‘hawk’ chasing my pigeons. The pigeons had nowhere to hide, so they flew into the cave, and the hawk also chased into the cave. I saw it desperately encircling the cave entrance, and then I used a fishing net to surround it, and then I grabbed the ‘hawk’ out. I didn’t know what it was at the time, and I heard that the police station in the town was promoting wildlife protection, so I immediately took it to the police station.’
