As the saying goes, "no business is harmful", it is precisely because of this demand in the market that some people prefer to hunt and protect animals illegally in order to obtain benefits. Helmet hornbill is an endangered bird, belonging to rhinoceros. Because the skull structure of helmet hornbill is different from other birds, the skull of helmet hornbill can be made into various handicrafts, such as snuff bottles or belt buckles.
It is precisely because of this that the helmet hornbill has been brutally hunted by people. Once the helmet hornbill is arrested, it will face extreme pain, and humans will cruelly take off their skulls alive. Helmet hornbills without skulls are useless and have been thrown aside. Their final outcome is either starvation or pain, which can be said to be very tragic.
Helmet hornbills have existed since ancient times and were discovered before the Qing Dynasty. However, due to the closed-door policy of the Qing Dynasty, this kind of bird can't be seen in China. This kind of bird belongs to tropical birds, mainly living in low-altitude forests in Thailand or Myanmar, and its number is very rare now, and it is also a key national protection object. But because its skull is as valuable as gold, many people are eyeing the helmet hornbill.
