Chapter 276: She Collected All the Clam Shells Herself
While waiting for the police officers, Michael's livestream was once again buzzing with activity.
"Host, I am a lawyer. Please tell that old lady that capturing and raising alligators is not illegal as long as she has the proper license."
The alligator in question came from a children's amusement park, so it is impossible for it not to have the necessary license. Furthermore, Ivy killed the alligator only to save her child. She has done nothing wrong. If anyone is to be held accountable, it should be the children's amusement park for inadequate safety measures.
"The lawyer is right! Ivy should not be held responsible. If anyone is to be investigated, it should be the child traffickers who threw the children into the alligator valley of the amusement park. Of course, the amusement park also bears some responsibility for the lack of security measures!"
"Baidu says, 'Alligators are carnivorous oviparous vertebrate reptiles, and they are the oldest reptiles that coexisted with dinosaurs over 200 million years ago.'" Pay attention, alligators are carnivorous animals. If Ivy didn't kill it in time, both she and her child would have been in danger!
"I just carefully watched the video again, and I found that Ivy didn't kill the alligator. It was the nine strong men who saved Ivy who killed it."
"That's right! But the nine strong men only killed the alligator to save someone. They are not guilty."
Michael read the comments out loud from the fans one by one, making Fiona's face turn pale with anger.
Ivy, on the other hand, found important information in the fans' comments.
If she wants to make the clam shell of the rainbow pearl clam known to the world, she must make people aware of the value of the rainbow pearl clam. However, once people find out, everyone will want to obtain this treasure.
Just like Fiona wanting to extort her for the clam shell.
This is just the beginning.
To prevent people from having the idea of looting and seizing, she must make the source of her clam shell legal. Before that, she must suppress the matter of the rainbow pearl clam shell.
Red lips approached Alexander's ear and whispered, "Do you know anyone from the Forestry Department?"
She remembered Alexander saying to her, "Individuals are allowed to raise monkeys, but they must obtain a permit for the domestication and breeding of wild animals from the Forestry Department. As long as you have this permit, you can legally raise monkeys."
At that time, Alexander treated her six children as monkeys and even said he would help make her breeding activities legal.
If monkeys can be kept, alligators can be kept, why can't pearl clams be kept?
Alexander quickly understood Ivy's meaning and replied in her ear, "Don't worry, leave everything to me!"
A journalist quickly caught on to the fresh news and said to Fiona, "Mrs. Ashford, not only are alligators protected species, but the rainbow pearl clam is too! Didn't the expert just say that the rainbow pearl clam has been extinct for 50 million years? This means that the rainbow pearl clam is an endangered species, more precious than alligators. Since you said that the clam shell is a family heirloom of the Ashford family, then the ancestors of the Ashford family are suspected of killing endangered national protected animals."
Fiona sneered, "The ancestors of the Ashford family were hunters who lived in a different time. The clam shells were all collected by them.
"Killing pearl mussels, what does it have to do with me?" The journalist persisted, "If you don't inherit these shellfish shells, then you have nothing to do with it. But if you do inherit them, then it becomes relevant to you! If these colorful pearl shells truly belong to you, I suggest you hand them over to the country."
Upon hearing this, Fiona instantly abandoned the idea of monopolizing the colorful pearl shells. "Didn't Ivy say that she picked up these shells by the river? Let her hand them over to the country then, she picked up a whole sack of them."
The journalist immediately turned to Ivy and asked, "Are these colorful pearl shells really picked up by you?"
Ivy cleared her throat and said, "Why do you all believe Fiona's words so easily? Just because she said these shells are the Ashford family's heirlooms, you believed her. She said I'm a thief, and you believed her. Now she says the shells are picked up by me, and you still believe her?"
The journalist replied, "We don't believe anyone here. We just want to interview the parties involved and leave the truth for the police to investigate. We believe that one day, everything will come to light."
