"What do you think of the announcement issued by the Ministry of Agriculture to remove dogs from the national livestock and poultry catalogue?"

Many friends have misunderstandings about the National Catalogue of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources, and think that deleting dogs from the National Catalogue of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources means that the country will gradually ban dog meat. In fact, this is a wrong understanding.

First of all, the National Catalogue of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources (Draft for Comment) released this time has two bases: First, the NPC Standing Committee's decision on completely banning illegal wildlife trade, getting rid of bad habits of eating wild animals and effectively protecting people's lives, health and safety was put on the agenda because of the epidemic situation. NPC's decision is mainly to supervise two issues, one is to define a prohibited object and scope, that is, terrestrial wild animals for the purpose of eating, and the other is to establish a positive white list. So, don't worry, you don't belong to this category anymore. It is also out of this management category for you to raise a yellow coat. Once the species on the white list are bred, even dinosaurs are not subject to this restriction.

Many friends only saw the result of deleting dogs from the national list of livestock and poultry genetic resources, but didn't notice it? Included in the catalogue and managed according to the Animal Husbandry Law of People's Republic of China (PRC)? This means that the list will be used as a positive list for future livestock and poultry breeding.

That is to say, the categories covered in this catalogue are the livestock and poultry varieties that the state believes can be actively promoted nationwide after expert argumentation, which meets the requirements of large-scale breeding. Therefore, these categories are not only limited to traditional cultivation types in China, but also include recommended cultivation types with international potential. Therefore, the file cannot be interpreted as? Will the whole country gradually fast dog meat? . This is mainly because the principle and purpose of making this catalogue have been determined.

First of all, in principle, you can clearly understand a document by describing it in a directory. Based on four factors, one is to adhere to science. Livestock and poultry listed in the Catalogue must undergo long-term artificial breeding and domestication and have stable economic characteristics of artificial selection. The second is to highlight safety and give priority to ensuring food safety, public health safety and ecological safety. The third is to respect national customs and consider the needs of multi-ethnic production and life, traditional culture and other factors. Fourth, we should conform to international standards and refer to international practices and practices.
