China bans consumption of wild animals

Li Zhanshu, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, said on Monday that under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, there has been much positive progress in epidemic prevention and control work. Li said the latest decision of the top legislature is to safeguard people’s lives and health.

The novel coronavirus, which had infected 77,150 people on the Chinese mainland as of Sunday, had killed 2,592, according to the National Health Commission. The virus is thought to have emerged at a seafood market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where wildlife was also sold illegally, according to media reports.

“But amending the Wild Animal Protection Law needs to go through legislative procedures. At the critical moment in epidemic prevention and control, it’s highly necessary and noteworthy for the NPC Standing Committee to pass a special decision.”A decision made by the NPC Standing Committee is usually about a single issue and not as comprehensive and systematic as a law, but such decisions have equal legal effect.

“The decision may bring economic losses to some farmers who raise animals. Local governments should support and help them to adjust and transform production, and offer them compensation depending on the practical situation,” Yang said.

Is it temporary or forever?

Doubt those that buy from poachers will stop. Black market will still happen

kasi naman basta humihinga kinakain karma

Saka pa nila naisip yun kng kelan nagkaganito na. At dapat ipractice din nila proper hyguene sa mga sarili. Maligo at magtooth brush araw-araw. Kahit malamig sa country nla di sapat na dahilan yun para di maligo. Im sure may hot water namn sila dun.

👍👍👍
