China has a long-standing tradition of wildlife releases which has increased over the last few years to increase protection for wildlife and increase public awareness. But, many wildlife groups concentrate on the quantity that animals are involved instead of looking at the health of the animals as well as the ecological consequences and safety of these releases. This is why wildlife releases usually lack any scientific basis and are often too simple, continually accelerating the spread of exotic species. Sometimes, they are used as a form of show, propaganda, and even superstition. We ask the government to adopt laws that regulate wildlife releases through 1.)

stopping illegal or disorderly discharges 😉 Refraining from participating in any release activity driven by religion or propagandism; superstition; and 3) strict monitoring and supervision of non-governmental release activities at every level.

Captive green sea turtles gather in a group in anticipation of being released to the south of China. Similar to other wildlife species, releasing turtles needs a careful, scientific plan to ensure that the program will be beneficial rather than harmful.

A recent, large-scale, six-year research study on the recovery of a fish population has demonstrated that the activities of release fail entirely when compared with methods of ecosystem-based management

 These cases show that attempts to restore endangered wildlife by releasing large numbers of farmed animals are often ineffective, even counterproductive, in the absence of scientific jurisdiction. Secondly, most release activities are overly simplistic, involving only the simple act of releasing animals into the wild. They cannot carry out crucial and essential procedures, like health assessments, quarantine for diseases and field training, as well as postrelease monitoring.

In the end, relocated animals often die rapidly in the wild for various reasons. In particular, those that are removed from captivity with high density are more likely to be stressed levels and are more susceptible to attack, stampede and dehydration, etc., which causes them to experience a decrease in immunity and an inability to adapt to new surroundings. Many other animals have lost the ability to hunt and avoid predators due to their prolonged captivity 

The large number of carcasses from animals left in the wilderness can affect the immediate surroundings of the release area,, directly posing a danger to the local ecological environment and human health ( 13 ).In the real world, releasing wildlife is a complicated and requires scientific and technical know-how. The welfare of animals and the protection of the environment should be considered. Unfortunately, many wildlife organizations are focused on the magnitude of release programs and the numbernumber of animals they release; they don’t focus on the animal’s condition or its ecological security ( 13 ).

Insufficient health checks and inadequate conditions of transportation and in captivity, as well as inefficient release times or conditions,, frequently cause the deaths of released animals ( 14, 15 ). For instance, there are numerous instances of freshwater turtles and land tortoises released into the ocean and snakes being released in winter’s harsh conditions ( 12). Additionally, animals are natural reservoirs for numerous pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Release of farm-bred animals without a time-bound quarantine could cause serious health risks for wild animals at the location of departure.
