Recently i read a news , two student catch 16 birds and sell them for 1000RMB(equals to $166 ). the court sentence them stay in the prison for 10 years because the birds are Animals under state protection(category ii). In contrast a provinvial departmental level cadres corrupt 10,000,000RMB(equals to $1660,000) have the same treatment. does it fair? share your idea now.

Of course it is crazy to punish a student so much. I haven't heard about this news although we come from the same city. Where did you learn it? He is just a student and I don't think it is right to put him into a prison for ten years. Even a robber will not be punished like that.

I don't think that is fair at all. People are killing others and they are still roaming around and these two did not even kill the birds but sell them

It's probably something they overlooked or that they needed to make their quota so it's too bad really is for them to overdo it like that I mean nowadays some would think that it was pretty harsh depending on the circumstances behind it there shoulda been a different way.
