"Clenbuterol" Pigs Sentenced for Outflow of Provincial Quarantine Officers

The reporter learned from the court of the Gushi County of Henan Province that the court had previously tried two Defendants for dereliction of duty in the case of a quarantine officer who had not released the “Clenbuterol” sample after the quarantine officer had not passed the sampling inspection. The term of imprisonment is 8 months and 6 months.

The Gushi County Court found that the defendant Xu was the Supervisor of the Animal Health Supervision and Inspection Station of Liji Road in Henan Province and the defendant Daimou was the quarantine officer at the checkpoint.

In March this year, the Bureau of Livestock and Animal Husbandry of Henan Province issued an emergency notice requesting the inspection of pigs out of the province by 45 animal health inspection stations in the province. The notice requires that the pigs should be sampled at a rate of 2% of the number of pigs carried on the vehicle. The urine of each pig should be not less than 100ml. The main tests include clenbuterol hydrochloride, ractopamine, salbutamol, and other three banned substances; Good spot check record.

On April 20, 2011, at the checkpoints of the defendants Xu Mou and Dai Mou, two trucks carrying 152 and 168 live pigs from Xincai County, Henan Province to Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province passed through the station. The two defendants released the vehicles without sampling the pigs for lean meat sampling according to regulations. The defendant Daimou forged the two pigs in the station's clenbuterol test book and sampled each of the three live pigs. Semen test and ractopamine test were negative records.

On April 21st, the Wuxi Animal Health Surveillance Institute of Jiangsu Province detected and monitored a group of live pigs for clenbuterol. All the clenbuterol (clenbuterol) test results in the sample were positive.

The court held that the defendants Xu Mou and Dai Mou as the staff of the animal health supervision and inspection station were seriously irresponsible in the inspection work. It knows that lean meat quality testing must be conducted on imported and exported provincial pigs. It still violates the regulations and does not detect live pigs that should be tested, resulting in pigs that contain “lean meat essence” components out of the province, seriously endangering food safety and causing adverse social impacts. Its behavior is in conformity with the negligence of constitutional requirements and should be convicted and punished for the crime of dereliction of duty. The defendant Daimou voluntarily surrendered the case after the case occurred, and truthfully confessed the facts of the crime. He was surrendered himself and could be given a lighter punishment. The court sentenced the defendant Xu to 8 months imprisonment for the crime of dereliction of duty, and the defendant Dai Mou was sentenced to 6 months imprisonment. After the verdict was issued, Xu expressed dissatisfaction and filed an appeal.
