However, on September 30, 2020, the State Forestry and Grassland Administration released the Notice on Regulating the Scope of the Classification and Management of Fasting Wild Animals on its official website, expressing a clear request for Wang Jinshe to actively guide relevant farmers to stop the operation by the end of December 2020.
