Tiger bone wine recycling: Say goodbye to illegal collection, embrace legal processing, and jointly build a new chapter in animal protection!
Do you still have a bottle of "old wine" at home, but feel uneasy about its origin and legality? In Hong Kong, the possession and disposal of tiger bone wine is a complex and serious issue. At " Chun Heung Wine Shop ," we do not engage in illegal trading, but are committed to providing a safe, legal, and responsible solution for disposing of tiger bone wine, helping you legally say goodbye to these controversial collections and contributing to global animal protection.
The historical trajectory of tiger bone wine: from a traditional delicacy to a legal taboo.
Tiger bone wine was once considered a precious tonic in many Asian traditions, believed to have the effects of strengthening muscles and bones and dispelling rheumatism. Its history can be traced back hundreds of years, and in certain periods it was regarded as a symbol of status and wealth. However, with the progress of the times and the increase in global awareness of endangered species protection, the fate of tiger bone wine has undergone a fundamental change.
The most crucial turning point was the signing and entry into force of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) . This international convention aims to regulate and even prohibit the international trade in endangered flora and fauna and their products in order to protect these species from extinction. As a protected endangered species, tigers and their products (including tiger bones) are strictly listed in Appendix I, which means that their international trade has been completely prohibited.
Strict regulations under Hong Kong law: Is possession itself a risk?
As a member of the international community, Hong Kong strictly adheres to the CITES Convention and incorporates relevant provisions into its local laws. Under Hong Kong's Protection of Endangered Species of Animals and Plants Ordinance (Cap. 586) , any trade involving endangered species, including the import, export, re-export, possession, or treatment of products containing Appendix I species (such as tigers), is strictly regulated.
This means that even tiger bone wine legally purchased or inherited many years ago may face legal risks in Hong Kong today regarding its possession and transfer. Unless it can be proven that the tiger bone wine was legally acquired before the relevant legislation came into effect and that the holder has applied for a license from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, unauthorized possession or handling of tiger bone wine may constitute a criminal offense, facing hefty fines or even imprisonment. Therefore, understanding and abiding by the relevant laws of Hong Kong is the responsibility of every citizen.
