On the morning of the 5th, at the interprovincial terminus, a cage of puppies was transported in a bus from Guangxi. By the time we arrived at the station, 5 puppies had died. Let's take a look.
Hainan Small Animal Protection Association staff: I don't know how many are in it, but the dead are in it, there are already five in it, how pitiful it is.
Hainan Haihai Automobile Transportation Group Co., Ltd. Haikou Station Branch Interprovincial General Station Director of the Security Office Wang Siwei: When 9 o'clock in the morning came, there was a Guilin car with a Gui C brand coming here, the owner of the cargo sent a cage of meat dogs over, some of the dogs in the transportation have died, this cage dog is placed in the luggage storage office, contacted the owner of the cargo to tell him to come as soon as possible to pick up the goods, but the owner of the goods has not come, after the people of the small animal association came, they took this cage of dogs over for quarantine.
According to the interprovincial terminus, the transport of this cage of dogs to the station was a bus with a Guic license plate, and the dog cage was placed in the warehouse under the bus together with other luggage. After the truck arrived at the station, a cage of dogs was placed in the luggage storage, the owner of the cargo did not show up for a long time, around 4 p.m., several passengers found this situation, contacted the police station of the jurisdiction and the Hainan Provincial Small Animal Protection Association to the scene. Later, the reporter met the puppy at the Small Animal Protection Association. The staff of the association told reporters that of the 16 puppies, 5 died, 6 were infected and received treatment, and the remaining 5 were in good health and sent to other pet hospitals for temporary placement.
Wang Bing, director of the Rescue Department of the Hainan Provincial Small Animal Protection Association: Five puppies have died, the body has been putrid, the dead and the living put a piece, and then we went with the people of the Haixiu (West Road) Institute and took the dead back for cremation, and the eleven live six were found to have canine plague and small, infectious diseases, and the dead were also checked, some were seriously dehydrated, thirsty and starved to death, and some died of this disease.
The reporter learned from the station that the bus transporting the puppies has returned to Guilin, Guangxi. The reporter also learned about the situation from the driver of the bus transported on the same day by telephone.
Bus driver: The dog owner there sent it over, I don't know where it came from, driving for ten hours to Haikou (Reporter: When the dog got on the car, it was alive and dead?). Live, pick up that phone call I forgot again (Reporter: Have you seen the epidemic prevention certificate?) Yes, in our car, usually we have a ventilator in it, the air is good, it generally does not die, in the boat for two or three hours, four hours to cross the sea, the car turned off the power, do not dare to open the ventilator, the ship does not give.
Subsequently, the owner of the bus sent the reporter the animal quarantine certificate of these puppies, which stated: The puppies are pets, and the animals in this batch have passed the quarantine and other words. In addition, the certificate also bears the name and telephone number of the owner of the goods.
Mr. Wang, the owner of the puppy: I raised my own dog here in Guilin, my own dog, sent to Qiongshan, Hainan, the housekeeper, we are a farm, we have not sent it to other places, just sent this time, the driver said that the dog died, I took the car to the halfway turned back, I did not go to take (Reporter: At that time, I thought why did I say that the bus transported this?). I used to think that fast, more than ten hours should be no problem, quarantine I have handled the certificate, from the 2nd I began to apply for the certificate, to the 4th, the vaccine can be applied for.
The owner of the goods said that he was both the owner and the consignee. These puppies are raised by their own family in Guilin and sent by their families to the Hainan nursing home. These dogs are all a month or two old and have animal quarantine certificates. The Haixiu West Road police station also said that the puppy's epidemic prevention certificate does not belong to their jurisdiction, and after the condition of the sick puppy is stable, they will also reflect this situation to the quarantine department for verification.
Netizens buy dogs from different places on the Internet
Shandong transported to Hainan and died
Using a bus to consign the puppies off-site, 5 of the 16 died and 6 were infected, which was really unbearable to look at. What do you think of transporting live animals over long distances? What should be done in each link of the transport of live animals? Let's move on.
Haikou resident: I feel that if it is transported in the car, the animal has no place to eat, the defecation is not very good, people will have a reaction when they sit in the car, I think the animal will definitely have a reaction when they sit in the car, the first thing is to know whether it has hit the triple needle.
Haikou residents: One is that one may die in the middle of the way, and the other is epidemic prevention.
Haikou residents: Express delivery will not eat or drink, it is not very humane. During the reporter's visit, many people said that it is not acceptable to transport pets such as cats and dogs through highways and other long distances. However, in the Small Animal Protection Association, the reporter learned that someone had purchased dogs in different places through online shopping, and the result was that dogs died. The reporter also contacted the seller and customer of the dog by phone.
Dog Seller: Before I sent two horse dogs to customers, I sent a lot of dogs a day (Reporter: Dogs have vaccinations or epidemic prevention certificates?). Yes, definitely.
Customer Mr. Li: There are (bought) about half a month, my dog is more than 2,000 yuan, a total of 2 dogs, put the construction site I bought has died, shipped over only one (reporter: bought online which to buy?) On Douyin, I bought it when I saw it (Reporter: When we bought it with him, did we see if he had provided an epidemic prevention certificate or anything like that?). No, no, he said he had been vaccinated (reporter: Do we know how this dog was transported?). How to transport it by car.
The customer said he had bought two dogs online and shipped them from Shandong to Hainan, and one of the dogs died. He bought the dog to guard the construction site, and he did not know whether the dog had a certificate of epidemic prevention. The reporter also learned from the interprovincial terminal that if there are live animals in the goods departing from the station, the corresponding epidemic prevention certificate must be verified, but if there are live animals in the buses sent from other provinces, it is difficult for them to supervise.
Hainan Haihai Automobile Transport Group Co., Ltd. Haikou Station Branch Interprovincial General Station Director of the Security Office Wang Siwei: The epidemic prevention certificate is honest if it is a large number of cases, we will check, it is reasonable to say that this kind of dog should not be transported to us by freight, we still advocate that passengers try not to bring live bodies, the source treatment should be from the departure station side, some can send some can not send.
Can live animals be shipped by courier?
Courier Guy: The process is not troublesome
Article 33 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Postal Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that it is prohibited to send or carry all kinds of live animals in the mail; article 52 of the Animal Epidemic Prevention Law of the People's Republic of China, which came into effect on May 1 this year, stipulates that if animals and animal products are transported by air, railway, road or waterway, the shipper shall provide a quarantine certificate when checking in; without a quarantine certificate, the carrier shall not carry it. So, in daily life, does express delivery undertake the transportation of live animals? Subsequently, the reporter randomly visited some of the outlets of the express delivery company on the pretext of mailing live animals. In a courier outlet in Jinpan, the staff clearly told reporters that live animals can be mailed.
A courier outlet in Haikou Staff: Mail is able to mail, but it is going to die we are not responsible (Reporter: How long will it take for the mail to arrive in Guangxi? 3 days, because we know the probability of this kind of sending, the probability of death is as high as more than seventy percent, calculated by kilograms, about 50 yuan or so, may be a little better now, if you are a big summer mail, it is not OK, the mail outside the island to be honest, I really do not recommend you mail. The staff clearly reminded that the use of express mail for live animals, the probability of animal death is large, it is not recommended to do so. In addition, the staff member also revealed to reporters that mailing live animals is not uncommon, and the process is not troublesome.
A courier outlet in Haikou Staff: (Reporter: If you really want mail, what do we need to provide? Provide id cards, no need for anything else, and you have to sign an agreement with us again, a disclaimer agreement (reporter: Do you need any epidemic prevention certificate?). No, I've met other people who mail dogs before, and I've seen them once or twice a year, delivering dead and alive, and some parrots we've seen (Reporter: What's the most mailed?). Generally hamsters, turtles. In addition, some courier companies have made it clear that in addition to fresh ingredients, the rest of the live animals are prohibited from being delivered.
Zheng Zhe, manager of The Golden Plate Business Point of Hainan SF Express Co., Ltd.: Because our company's regulations are that in addition to hairy crabs, other live animals cannot be mailed, and this is the postal regulation.
In addition, the staff of the courier company also said that the biggest risk of transporting live animals through ordinary express delivery is mixed transportation, and the transport of animals must use special logistics channels and have corresponding health quarantine certificates. Mixed in with ordinary goods, animals have many possibilities of death, escape, etc., and will also cause pollution to other express mail, the surrounding environment and personnel. The Hainan Small Animal Protection Association also made a call for careful selection of live animal transportation methods.
Wang Bing, director of the Rescue Department of the Hainan Small Animal Protection Association: I urge everyone not to buy dogs online, and we also recommend taking this piece by air for personal transportation, which will arrive on the same day of transportation.
In order to make the death of live animals in transit no longer staged, it must be done: consumers do not shop online, merchants have conscience, courier companies comply with laws and regulations, functional departments supervise in place, and relevant laws are further improved.
