禁止吃猫,不必等到《动保法》
当我们谈论拒绝吃猫的时候,并不是出于个人爱好,也不仅仅因为“养猫人吃不得猫”,而是在关注中国动物现状——“滥杀、滥用、虐待、虐杀。”著名上海动保人士刘晓云如是说。这也是为什么,救助猫的人,总是能够和救助黑熊,救助土狗,救助所有生命的人,彼此感应。
在上海江苏饭店边上的一条小胡同里,每天天亮之前,街灯未灭,出入此地的助动车,忽然多了起来。他们往往形单影只,独来独往,助动车或者自行车的后座两边,每每还挂着满当的编织袋。如果不是他们的老朋友——上海的救猫者,没有人能认出来,那些编织袋里好似一颗颗卷心菜垒起来的丰满形状,是一只只猫,一只只活猫。
他们是猫贩,既有本地人,也有外乡人。只有等猫贩在交易的时候,袋子被甩到地上,救猫人才能看清,袋子里的猫,还活蹦乱跳。只是袋口被扎紧了,倒到这头,又倒到那头,不松口。直到大猫贩付了钱,收了猫,袋子才会被打开,直接伸到了一个血迹斑斑,毛刺横出的木架子里,猫咪挤在一起,然后上车,上路,直到广东。
这是纪录片《三花》中吃猫链条的起点。
在你的身边,这个链条已经绵延了二十年。它的源头分散在全国各大城市,上海、南京、天津、武汉,但终点大部分在广州,这个全国最大的肉猫集散地。
不要以为吃猫离你很远——如果你并不身在广州。在上海,早上刚被猫贩经手的猫,流浪猫也好,家猫也罢,并不完全运往广东。就算是在最为正规的农贸市场,猫肉也被当做兔肉来卖,只不过去了头,剥了皮,顾客已经难以辨认。更不用提冒充羊肉的猫肉了,在大城市的烧烤店或者路边摊,浸泡在羊尿里的猫肉撒上孜然和辣椒粉,味觉彻底被迷惑。甚至有名有姓的火腿肠品牌,都可能掺杂猫肉,在你不知不觉时被咽进了肚子。
这些年来,救猫团体除了正面冲突和苦口婆心,丝毫没有别的办法。当他们想要状告猫贩虐待虐杀流浪猫时,发现中国还没有可依法保障非野生动物福利的《动保法》,而当他们再以猫主人的身份,打算现身说法时,又发现《物权法》也不能出手相救。
最后到法庭,往往是法官一提问,你怎么就证明这猫是你养的,顿时气短——口说无凭,家猫逃过了户口关,反倒失去了身份证。
倒是猫贩更理直气壮。只要手拿一张卫生许可证,就可以载着满满一车活猫死猫,家猫和流浪猫,在高速公路上畅通无阻。甚至取道广东省光速公路“绿色通道”,直奔广州。沿途的公安和动检部门一看到有卫生许可证,立即闭嘴,不管是真心还是假意,“统统放行”。当拦截猫车的志愿者们要求检查卫生许可证的真假时,猫贩早已逃之夭夭,没了踪影。
有人确实怀疑过,猫饭拿出卫生许可证,必然有假,但假在哪里?即便是一张真的卫生许可证,填上“猫肉”、“肉猫”、“猫肉制品”,有什么问题。答案,也许只有猫自己知道。
历来,中国乃至全世界,从未出现过猫养殖场,这不是巧合。猫是肉食动物,养大一只肉用猫,要喂的肉粮,是它自己体积的许多倍。再加上猫瘟随时发生,集中饲养肉猫,必定是赔钱的买卖,不然,贪吃又贪财的人,怎么能甘愿损失一种经济动物?
这也是为什么,猫,历来都不是官方认可的肉用经济动物。在2010年重新颁布了《动物检疫管理办法》,事无巨细之处,足以斩断吃猫链条的每一处环节。因为所有肉制品都需要动物检疫合格证,才能运输、出售。这个检疫证必须由官方兽医来出具,要符合五项条件方可通过。其中第五项,需要养殖档案相关记录和畜禽标识,符合农业部规定。有了这份标识,才能保证肉制品的安全卫生。
没有肉猫养殖场,吃猫市场只能靠偷家猫和流浪猫来保证货源,也必然不可能拥有卫生检疫证。任何一只所谓的“肉猫”,不可能作为合法的农产品,完成运输、屠宰、上餐桌的所有程序——除非是非法的。
国家农业部动检处最近对三张猫贩手持的卫生许可证作出鉴定,无一例外均为伪造。苏州和上海的猫救助人士即将以此为有利证据,展开一场涉及上海、苏州、无锡三地的举报行动,即便没有《动保法》,仍然能从“伪造国家公文罪”,依法追究责任人,并依照情节轻重,判处3-10年有期徒刑。
达尔问自然求知社联合京沪穗三地动保团体,邀请您参加国内首部调查吃猫纪录片《三花》系列放映交流会,揭开吃猫链条的黑暗,关注举报行动,从现有法律框架的视角,讨论禁吃猫肉的可能性。
Ban cats eating without Animal Protection Law
When we discuss the issue of banning cats eating, we are paying attention to the animal protecting situation in China, which is filled with “maltreatment, indiscriminate and merciless killing,” summarized by Liu Xiaoyun, the famous animal activists in Shanghai. It’s not due to one’s personal interests or “cat owner cannot eat cat”. That’s why the cat rescuers always share the same feeling with their counterparts for bears, dogs, and all lives.
In a Hutong near the Jiangsu Restaurant in Shanghai, the number of scooters increases suddenly before the dawn everyday. They usually come alone, with full bags on the backseats. Only cat rescuers who frequents there are able to recognize that in the bags are live cats.
Those cat dealers include local residents, as well as strangers. When they trade with the restaurant, bags are dumped to the ground and cats will struggle in it. When the deal is done, the bag will be open to a blood-stained, full of burrs wooden cage where cats huddle together. Then cages are loaded into trucks and transported to Guangdong Province.
This is the starting scene describing the beginning of cat eating chain of the documentary San Hua.
The chain has existed for twenty years. It starts in all the big cities around China, such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Tianjin and Wuhan, but mostly ends in Guangzhou, the largest cat meat distributing center.
However, Guangzhou is not the single case. In Shanghai, no matter stray cats or pet cats, they are just partly transported to Guangdong Province. Even in the most formal farmer’s market, cat meat is sold as rabbit meat after cutting the head and striping the skin. Another way is to use cat meat as the raw materials for lamb kebabs. In the barbecue restaurant or sidewalk snack booth, cat meat sunken in sheep urine with cumin and pepper can totally confuse one’s taste. Worse still, ham sausages with XXXX names are possibly mixed with cat meat.
During the past years, cat rescuers have no legal weapons when they would like to do their job. When expecting to sue the cat dealers of maltreatment of stray cats, they find that China has not have a Animal Protection Law that can guarantee the welfare of non-wild life; When they would rescue the cats as the cat owner, the Property Law cannot provide help, as well.
Therefore, when in court, due to lack of Hukou (registered identity), cats cannot be proved to be owned legally in a family, and the lawsuit is lost.
On the other hand, cat dealers have reasonable certificates. A piece of Sanitary Permit enables trucks loaded with cats to drive in the expressway, even the green channel to Guangzhou in Guangdong Province without policeman or animal inspection department’s investigation. When cat rescuers stop the truck and ask to verify the Sanitary Permit, cat dealers has already escaped. Even if the permit proves to be a real one, can it be used for “cat meat”, “cat meat product”?
It’s not a coincident that in China, even in the world cat farm has never been operated. Cat belongs to carnivores, so raising a cat needs meat amounting to many times of its weight. Plus the frequent cases of cat epidemic, running a cat farm dooms to have deficit.
That’s the reason why cats have never been proved officially as an economical animal for flesh. In 2010, China reenacts the Animal Quarantine Measure. It rules that the animal quarantine certificate needed for meat products’ transportation and sale could only be issued by official veterinarians. Record of raising archives and livestock identification that meet the requirement of Ministry of Agriculture is a must among the five conditions for the acquirement of the certificate, for it’s the guarantee for meat products’ hygiene.
Resulting from the lack of cat breeding industry, the cat market depending on the single source of stray cats and pet cats inevitably has no animal quarantine certificate. It’s illegal to get any cat transported, slaughtered, and served to the table.
Animal Quarantine Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture recently verified three Sanitary Permit held by cat dealers and found them all fake. Cat rescuers in Suzhou and Shanghai use this fact as a proof to launch a whistle-blowing campaign, covering areas of Shanghai, Suzhou, and Wuxi. Without the Animal Protection Law or the Property Law, we could still hold the responsible for “forging official document and certificate”, and sentence them to three to ten years in prison in accordance with the seriousness of the case.
United with animal protection communities in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Green Beagle invite you to participate the first show of San Hua, concerning cat-eating issue. Let’s reveal the darkness of cat-eating chain, concern the whistle-blowing event and discuss the possibility of banning cat-eating with the existing law
