Authorities wide nets of Beijing, June 8 (reporter Liu Fei) aspect ratio, according to voice of the news reports, there are less than half a month, until the summer solstice solar term. Welcome the summer solstice in many parts of our country have different customs, such as Guangxi Yulin, said local "summer solstice, dogs, lychee wine", which is native in the summer solstice day delicacy not to be missed. By this time, locals will come to the streets eating dogs and lychee, calling friends, drink wine, lively and as much as the Mid-Autumn Festival. And because of that, Yulin civil "Litchi dog meat section" fame.

Yulin "dog meat" over the more prosperous, but some people expressed strong resistance to this practice. As the summer solstice approaches, some netizens called for the cancellation of Yulin over the network "dog meat", many joined celebrity stars. "Dog meat" should be cancelled, once again has drawn controversy.

"I'm somewhere, I am opposed to 6.21 Yulin dog meat section, please cancel the dog meat section. Can not love, please don't hurt me! ”。 Recently, many users have published similar content. While equipped with a small dog eye figure hanging from tears, to resist the dog meat section. There have been media reports that the dog meat section of tens of thousands of dogs a day in Yulin. Guangxi Yulin, civil "ate the summer solstice dog westerly detour" argument. Mean, on the summer solstice to eat dog meat can resist disease invasion. People love to eat dog meat, some people love dogs, both for and against "dog meat", the two sides each have their own reasons:

People: I'm supporting dog meat section of lychee, first of all, there is the traditional, everywhere in fact eat dog, no less. Dogs are like pigs and cattle, the same animals, what can not eat it. Cruelty to animals can resist, can not eat, but does not affect us.

The consumption of dog meat in Yulin, public opinion in support of one more representative of the dog meat section. People generally think of the opposition, the dog is a companion animal should not be eating, bad practices should be stopped. Put aside those feelings, ideas, reasons, for the "dog meat", Chairman of the Beijing Association of small animal clinic, veterinarian Dr Liu Lang believes that from a food safety standpoint, dog eat dog meat on meat section there are also hazards.

Liu Lang: I am not a fanatic of the humane society, he is not eat dog meat, I also can accept. But at one point, as a food, we both poultry industry, the cattle industry, pig-raising industry in the breed was fully established when a breed archive must contain the source and date of entry and exit. There are quarantine, vaccination, disinfection. But we dog breed is not the point.

Liu Lang pointed out, and mass consumption of livestock, such as compared to chickens, cattle, sheep, eating dogs is just a small minority, raising meat dog in too hard on scale, sources of dogs is difficult to guarantee:

Liu Lang: which company, touted their farms said a large amount of farming, there are thousands of dogs, not a reality. Profitable angles are unlikely to achieve. Feed dogs are a small minority, does not actually form a large chain. Most of these dogs are dog to buy or steal, really enjoying the process, drug residues, residues of antibiotics, some HIV drugs residues may not be in the heat of decomposition can be achieved, possibly some damage on the people.

One of people eating dog meat in Yulin, introduce, they like before and after the summer solstice at the Yatai eating dog meat. Sources of dogs, he said that depends on the integrity of the dog owner, then taste, the taste of food to see:

People: we generally eat that meat dog. This breed of dog meat tastes better. Source anywhere. If it is stolen hunting dogs or stolen pet dogs as dogs, is eating out. Is a stall, with regard to the monitoring of government departments, I think it should be done.

Provisions of the canine quarantine rules for producing areas, artificial feeding or lawful capture Canids, qualified through inspection, issue of animal quarantine certification; unqualified prohibited transporting. A few days ago, Xuzhou police seized live puppy without quarantine certificate. The investigation, dogs are acquired, ready to be sent to slaughter, there is no health inspection certificate. It is understood that at present in terms of slaughtering dogs did not like slaughtering pigs, requiring slaughter, most dogs for slaughter were private, and are mostly night slaughter, liquidity regulation difficult. Liu Lang pointed out that in the "dog meat" period, a large number of live dogs for transport, trade, slaughtering those links, if the dog does not pass quarantine, the operator might get infected with the disease:

Liu Lang: slaughter worries me the most is how he links. For these workers, they were slaughtering the epidemic prevention facilities in operation if not well, his course of action, especially in the process of blood, if his hand had some mucosal damage, then it is possible to put people in contact with animals from animal disease to him, especially rabies.

In 2011, there are more than 600-year history of the Jinhua Lake dog meat has been permanently cancelled. So, Yulin of "dog meat" would cancel? In this regard, the Guangxi Yulin City Government said this is individual businessmen and civil way, is a form of local summer solstice party, Government or social organizations have never held such activities in any form. Meanwhile, Guangxi Yulin City Government also said a clampdown on meat safety management, strengthen source management, implementation of the system of inspection and quarantine, slaughter is strictly prohibited in the streets by cracking crime stealing dogs.

Strengthening supervision, standardize the dog meat market, it can effectively prevent for hygiene breaches of dog meat onto the market, endangering our health, can also avoid the slaughter of stray dogs suffering to some degree. But outside the regulated market, Yulin "dog day" whether it should be scrapped, local folk custom of eating dog meat should be continued, this is the humane society and local populations a focus of controversy. In fact, as the City Government's stance, Yulin "Litchi dog meat section," not by the official organization, but rather spontaneously formed a number of local folk. "Dog meat" should be continued, would have to be depends on the choice of the local population. Everywhere, the cultural mix, our world can be colorful, understand personality, respect for differences and respect for self, respect for all life, this is the basis of our existence and development.
