At the end of the year, the pig killing season in the countryside will begin again. In the past, every household in the countryside had a tradition of raising pigs, killing a pig at the end of the year, partly for the New Year's meal, and partly for pickling cured meat. But now the situation has changed, because of the implementation of the "Regulations on the Administration of Pig Slaughtering", it is strictly forbidden for individuals to kill pigs and sell them privately. Therefore, this year, the question of whether the rural areas can slaughter the pigs privately and whether the remaining pork can be sold has attracted people's attention.
First of all, let's take a look at the relevant provisions of the Regulations on the Administration of Pig Slaughtering. The regulations stipulate that the state implements a system of designated slaughtering and centralized quarantine of pigs. Except for individuals in rural areas who slaughter and eat themselves, no unit or individual shall engage in pig slaughtering activities without a designated point. That is, in the countryside, individuals can slaughter and feed themselves, but they cannot sell them. This is to ensure food safety and hygiene.
However, killing pigs as an important Xi practice still exists in some remote mountainous areas. In these places, due to the small population, pig farming is more out of nostalgia for the taste of home and the need for family and friends to have dinners. Therefore, it is permissible to kill pigs at the end of the year, and it is not necessary to go to a designated slaughterhouse, but to slaughter them in the homes of villagers. However, it should be noted that if you want to sell pork, you must go to a designated slaughterhouse for inspection and quarantine and slaughter before you can enter the circulation link. This is to ensure that the pork sold meets the relevant hygiene and quality requirements.
Can the New Year pigs still be killed in the countryside this year?The answer is yes. As long as it is self-slaughtered and self-fed, it is allowed to meet the prescribed requirements. However, if you want to sell pork, you must go to a designated slaughterhouse to process it. The purpose of such restrictions is to protect the food safety of the public and to avoid food safety problems caused by the suicide and sale of pigs.
In the process of killing pigs, safety and hygiene should also be paid attention to. When individuals are self-slaughtering and self-eating, it is necessary to ensure the hygiene of the pig killing site, comply with the prescribed operating procedures, and ensure that there are no residues and contamination. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to personal safety to avoid accidental injuries.
In general, this year, the countryside can slaughter pigs privately, but for the sale of some pork, it is necessary to meet the relevant regulations and requirements, and carry out inspection and quarantine. In this way, the quality and safety of pork can be ensured and the health of the public can be safeguarded. In the process of pig killing, we should pay attention to safety and hygiene, abide by the operating procedures, and ensure the quality and safety of food.
Personal reflection on this issue is that although the implementation of the Regulations on the Administration of Pig Slaughtering has positive significance for ensuring food safety and hygiene, it cannot completely ignore the traditional Xi and culture of rural areas. For some villagers in remote mountainous areas, raising pigs is a nostalgic way for them to remember the taste of their hometown and a way to entertain their relatives and friends, as well as a symbol of their reunion. Therefore, when implementing relevant policies, we should fully consider the special local situation and take appropriate measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of farmers, so that they can continue the traditional pig killing Xi under the premise of compliance. At the same time, publicity and education should also be strengthened, farmers' awareness of safety and health should be enhanced, food safety and hygiene should be ensured, and traditional culture and Xi in rural areas should be protected.
This year, there is still controversy and discussion about the sale of pigs and pork in rural areas, and it is hoped that the relevant departments can formulate more reasonable and feasible policy measures on the premise of ensuring food safety, so that farmers can continue to preserve and pass on their traditional Xi customs, and at the same time protect the health and safety of the public. Only on the basis of balancing the interests of all parties can the sustainable development and cultural inheritance of rural areas be realized.
