Su Yun Unknowingly Broke The Law
Yun eventually found out that there are laws that mandated permits involving the domestication of wild animals like Little Black. More importantly, she realized how her family might have broken one of these guidelines without meaning to.
According to the China News website, this realization came before the local forest public security office was able to publicize the said regulations. Of course, ignorance of the law isn’t a strong defense against wrongdoing. Yun knew this. And so, she made the decision to turn Little Black over to the proper authorities.
