To crack down on private slaughter and slaughter, we must convict and pursue punishment in accordance with the law.

The designated slaughtering of poultry has been carried out in Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province for nearly five months, but there are still many phenomena such as killing live poultry and selling white poultry without anklets in farmers' markets, vegetable shops and residential areas in the south of the city. The weather is getting cold, and the risk of H7N9 is gradually increasing. Recently, Jiaxing has confirmed the first human case of H7N9 flu since the beginning of winter.

Compared with the regular slaughterhouse, private slaughtering is extremely harmful, not only do not have the corresponding health permit conditions, and even make "watered meat" for profiteering. In addition, private slaughtering often evades the supervision of national law enforcement departments, and the sources of livestock and the quality of products are lack of testing, which can not guarantee food safety and seriously endanger the health of the public.

According to the usual practice, in most places, the supervision of private slaughtering is only given administrative punishment for its violations, and the punishment is mainly in the form of economy. Obviously, this kind of punishment is easy to form a vicious circle of stopping immediately after investigation, failing to investigate and rebounding, and cannot effectively put an end to illegal slaughtering behavior. In addition, due to the uneven construction of standardized poultry slaughtering sites in various places, the objects of private slaughtering in many places are only limited to live pigs, and the supervision of the slaughtering of chickens, ducks and other poultry other than live pigs has caused artificial loopholes to a large extent.

Article 143 of the Criminal Law provides that whoever produces or sells food that does not meet food safety standards and causes serious food poisoning accidents or other serious foodborne diseases shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention and concurrently be sentenced to a fine.

The new judicial interpretation clearly stipulates that the production and sale of food that does not meet food safety standards should be recognized as "sufficient to cause serious food poisoning accidents or other serious foodborne diseases" as stipulated in Article 143 of the Criminal Law. It can be seen that, compared with the criminal law, the new judicial interpretation shows more clearly the attitude of severely punishing illegal production and sales that do not meet food safety standards.

At present, the ways of private slaughtering security crimes continue to innovate, and the means become more hidden, and some are sold through the Internet and express delivery, so it is more and more difficult to identify the nature of criminal cases. However, the judicial interpretation further defines the conviction and sentencing standards for crimes related to food safety of private slaughtering, and weaves a strict criminal law net for punishing crimes in accordance with the law. To punish the crime of illegal slaughtering of food safety, as long as the law enforcement forces of market supervision, administrative law enforcement, health and epidemic prevention and other departments jointly enforce the law, sweep away the environmental conditions that breed the crime of private slaughtering and abusing food safety from the source, and convict and pursue punishment in accordance with the law, it should not be very difficult to get rid of evil.
