The Ministry of Agriculture responded: which are livestock and poultry and which are wild animals? Are there any new measures to crack down on wildlife crimes?

A few days ago, the standing Committee of the National people's Congress voted and passed a decision to ban illegal food and trade in wild animals. Which are livestock and poultry and which are wild animals? Are there any new measures to crack down on wildlife crimes? The Ministry of Agriculture has a detailed response at the press conference of the joint defense and control mechanism of the State Council. Let's take a look at the specific situation.

Which are livestock and poultry and which are wild animals?

Livestock and poultry mainly refers to all kinds of animals domesticated by human beings after long-term labor to meet the needs of meat, eggs, milk, fur and so on. It is very different from wild animals, there are four main points:

1. After long-term artificial breeding, it is widely used in production.

two。 Its phenotype and wild animals have undergone essential changes, and there are stable economic traits of artificial selection.

3. A stable epidemic prevention and control system has been formed.

4. In line with international practice.

Second, what new measures does our country have in cracking down on wildlife crimes?

According to the current Criminal Law and the Wildlife Protection Law and other laws and regulations, the public security organs mainly crack down on crimes involving precious and endangered wild animals and wild animals of important ecological, scientific and social value. The recently issued "decision" of the standing Committee of the National people's Congress has established a system of completely banning the consumption of wild animals, clearly stipulating that penalties should be increased for crimes against wild animals, and that hunting, trading and transportation of terrestrial wild animals for the purpose of food should be banned.

This means that China has established a stricter wildlife legal policy, which provides more powerful legal weapons for public security organs to crack down on crime. At present, the Ministry of Public Security, together with the Supreme people's Court, the Supreme people's Procuratorate and the Ministry of Justice, is seriously studying and formulating guidance on the application of relevant laws in order to do a good job in the implementation of the "decision" and relevant laws. And will deploy local public security organs to carry out special crackdown and rectification operations, and earnestly step up efforts to crack down on wildlife-related crimes.

Third, what are the most stringent control measures for wild animals?

1. After learning that experts assessed that wild animals such as bamboo rats and badgers might carry novel coronavirus's information, the State Forestry and Grass Administration promptly requested more than 2800 bamboo and badger breeding institutions across the country to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the health status of employees and the abnormal death or epidemic diseases of farmed animals.

two。 It clearly requires all localities to impose closure and isolation on all wild animal artificial breeding sites, stop all wildlife listing, trading and transportation activities, and severely crack down on illegal hunting, operation and utilization of wild animals.

3. To strengthen the surveillance of epidemic diseases in wildlife foci, it is required to implement a daily reporting system for abnormal deaths and diseases of wild animals, and to properly deal with abnormal situations in a timely manner as required.

Fourth, how to report the illegal and illegal trading of wild animals or clues?

The market supervision department provides unified complaint reporting service for the public through the national 12315 platform.
