Yesterday morning the team,
including veterinary officers and traffic policemen, stopped a suspicious truck
for examination and found that it was carrying 1,400 live suckling pigs and
more than 800 kg of suckling pig meat.
The pigs were contained in iron
cages while the meat was packed in foam cartons.
The truck’s driver failed to show
any quarantine certificates or other documents to prove the origin of the
goods, while saying he had been hired to transport them to Binh Duong,
according to Dang Thi Tuyet, head of the Thu Duc District Animal Quarantine
Station.
The team recorded their findings,
seized all the goods and then handed them over to Binh Duong Province’s
Veterinary Sub-department for handling, Tuyet said.
One day earlier, the station
seized 960 live chickens that were being transported in a truck. The vehicle’s
driver, 28-year-old Nguyen Mau Teo of Dong Nai Province, had no documents
related to the animals.
A similar, more serious case
occurred in early July in central Thua Thien-Hue Province when traffic police
seized about 800 kg of suckling pig meat – all of which was rotten and stinking
– that was being transported in a truck from Nghe An to Quang Ngai Province
without documents.
Another case happened in April,
when a joint inspection team in HCMC seized 215 decomposed suckling pigsand a
large amount of rotten pigskin loaded onto two buses at Cam Van Co Ltd, at 49
Tan Thanh Street, Tan Phu District.
