The second floating pig was found in Kinmen today (4). During a routine patrol at sea at 08:40, maritime patrol officers found a dead pig in a pile of floating rubbish and immediately reported to the epidemic prevention center and disinfected the environment.

Is Haipiao pig a common kind of drifting garbage? The members of the Ninth Sea Patrol said that since the organization and adjustment on 28 April last year, the IOC Maritime Patrol Office had taken over the patrol work on the coast of Wudao, it was the first time that dead pigs had been found on the island, and there were no pig farms on the island, and there was no passenger route to the island. The case is unusual for a ship class that can only transport supplies to Wulong Township through the military.

The Kinmen County Animal and Plant epidemic Prevention Center (referred to as "Kinmen epidemic Prevention Center") said that it had sent personnel to the scene and expected to arrive in the evening and would complete the sampling test as soon as possible to determine whether the pigs had been infected by African classical swine fever.

Following the northeast monsoon drifting from the Chinese sea, the sampling work can only be completed at night.

Wen Shuicheng, director of the Kinmen epidemic Prevention Institute, points out that there is no pig farm on Xiaomeng Island, so it is inferred that the dead pig floated from the Chinese sea along the northeast monsoon, not a pig raised locally in Kinmen. He said that after receiving the notification from the sea patrol in the morning, the epidemic prevention station immediately took a boat to the scene at noon, but because of the strong northeast monsoon, the strong tide, and the fact that Wuli Township is far away from Jinmen Island, "it may not arrive until evening. At present, local personnel have been asked to pull the Haipiao pig ashore to prevent it from being swept away by the waves, and blockades have also been set up." However, he said frankly that on-site processing will take time, and the sampling work may not be completed until the evening, and the test results will not come out until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Brothers in the Sea Patrol: make good preparations for the long-term Anti-Japanese War

In addition, the Maritime Patrol Office pointed out that in order to prevent Kinmen from being captured by Chinese mainland African classical swine fever, it has activated an epidemic prevention mechanism. In addition to increasing the density of intercoastal patrols, it will also expand the scope of sea surface patrols. At the same time, it will also thoroughly disinfect the surroundings of floating pigs to avoid the spread of the epidemic. The brothers of the Sea Patrol stressed that they would rather do more than do less, and be prepared for a long-term war of resistance.
