[Background of the event].
Recently, the law enforcement team of Shaoxing Zhuji Agriculture and Rural Bureau ** A typical case, the law enforcement officers of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau found that the injection of the clinic was a human drug, which had been opened and used on animals.
According to the investigation, the injection is a human drug purchased online, and is used for the poisoning of various pets such as cats and dogs in animal diagnosis and treatment**.
The Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs law enforcement believes that the pet clinic violates the "Regulations on the Administration of Veterinary Drugs" and has made 110,000 yuan penalty decision.
Some people say, what's the big deal, just cure the pet, it has no impact on people, why make such a fuss?
Does it really matter? No, you may have overlooked the dangers of veterinary use of human drugs, and the situation is far more than you think.
Seeing the world through the eyes of the law].
Article 41 of the Regulations on the Administration of Veterinary Drugs prohibits the use of drugs for human use in animals.
Article 62 of the Regulations on the Administration of Veterinary Drugs stipulates that if drugs for human use are used on animals, they shall be ordered to make corrections immediately, and animals and their products fed with prohibited drugs and other compounds shall be harmless; impose a fine of between 10,000 and 50,000 yuan on the offending unit; and where losses are caused to others, they shall be liable for compensation in accordance with law.
It has been reported that more than 250 kinds of infectious diseases and parasitic animal diseases that are common to humans and animals have been confirmed, of which 89 are relatively harmful, especially in recent years, various new infectious diseases have increasingly shown a "zoonotic" relationship. There are several reasons why the state should crack down on the use of human drugs and veterinary drugs:
1. Human medicine is used in veterinary medicine, and animals are easy to develop drug resistance. If the animal has developed resistance in the animal because of the use of human drugs, this will make it more difficult to control the animal epidemic, once the person is infected with the same disease as the animal, because the virus has been resistant to the human drug in the animal, so the human drug effect of the disease will be greatly reduced, and may even be powerless.
2. The dosage of animals is determined according to the degree of development of the animal nervous system, sometimes up to dozens of times the amount of drug per unit weight of the human body, so that a large dose of human medicine enters the animal body, it is impossible to be completely absorbed and decomposed by the animal body, in addition to the medicinal properties accumulated in the animal body, it will cause pollution to the water and soil through different ways, and will eventually bring endless troubles to human beings.
3. If human drugs are allowed to be used in veterinary use, it may lead to the abuse of antibiotics and other drugs in animals, first in animals to increase drug resistance, and then through the food chain to affect humans, resulting in human resistance to antibiotics also increased, and the effect of drugs decreased. For example, adding antibiotics to the feed of dairy cows may indirectly lead to bacterial resistance to these antibiotics, and after people drink milk, the body's resistance to this type of antibiotics will also increase, and the drugs available to humans after being infected with this kind of bacteria will be less and less, and the rate of disease will be lower and lower, and the consequences will be very serious.
Many animal hospitals and veterinarians are unaware of the serious consequences of "human and veterinary use". In reality, the use of human medicine ** animals sometimes works very well, and even sometimes in the case of veterinary drugs are ineffective, try to use human drugs to save their beloved animals, just like the hospital informs cancer patients who give up ** to try to use folk remedies. However, we must be more aware of its harmfulness, see the long-term development of human beings, and fulfill social responsibilities, and the use of human drugs and veterinary drugs has always been prohibited by the state. Correctly use veterinary drugs in accordance with laws and regulations, and resolutely put an end to the illegal use of human drugs and veterinary drugs.
