Introduction: Vietnam is a country with cloven hoof disease In recent years, the Ministry of agriculture and the general office of the State Council have issued the notice on forbidding the introduction of cloven hoof animals and their products from neighboring countries, stipulating that cloven hoof animals and their products cannot be imported from the countries with cloven hoof disease However, in gumin village, Shuikou Town, Longzhou County, some villagers illegally imported live pigs from Vietnam, which were sold in Longzhou county without quarantine, using the advantages of only one river away from Vietnam to facilitate the development of private trade, bringing hidden dangers to the safety of domestic poultry and livestock and the health of the masses From November 13 to 15, our reporter ventured day and night to follow up the investigation, revealing the illegal scene of how Vietnamese live pigs smuggled into Longzhou, and then how they changed their lives and legally listed in Longzhou Fishing in disguise: the reporter is close to the pig selling ferry On the night of November 13, when the reporter arrived at Longzhou County, he immediately got in touch with his insiders and learned that the live pigs smuggled from Vietnam landed at several private ferries near gumin village, along the highway from Shuikou Town to Kejia town These pigs come from the water through Jiehe river Every day, there are more than 1000 pigs, less than 100 pigs Most of them cross the river between 5:00 and 7:00 in the morning People familiar with the matter also reminded reporters that when pigs were driven across the river, there were often people blowing along the ferry, which could easily cause suspicion if strangers approached In order to get close to the pig crossing point, the reporter made several analysis and finally decided to disguise as a fishing tourist to mix in and see the machine again At 11:00 that night, the reporter knocked on the door of the owner of the fishing gear shop and bought fishing rods, baits and other fishing equipment At 4:50 a.m on the 14th, it was dark and cold in the early winter The reporter drove from Longzhou county to Shuikou Town more than 30 kilometers away As the place of life is not familiar, it's not easy to drive near the valley min village along the side road to Kejia At 5:50, the reporter found that someone walked around by the river more than 20 meters away from the road with a flashlight The voice of talking and the howling of pigs came from time to time The pig selling ferry that the insider said might be here The reporter parked the car about 1 kilometer away from the ferry Before dawn, he got out of the car and dived into the sugarcane field by the side of the road and quietly approached the ferry by the river The reporter looked across the bank and found that there were about 100 pigs trapped on the top platform of the simple highway across the river There were also fires nearby, and the fireworks slowly drifted into the air On the river bed, there is a simple floating bridge made of bamboo sticks, on which people walk from time to time Beside the pontoon, there is a large bamboo raft specially made of bamboo and wood Both sides are fenced with bamboo, and both ends are tied with ropes, so that people on both sides can pull the bamboo raft back and forth There are several spare logs at both ends of the bamboo row, which are specially used to close the pigs on the bamboo row when crossing the river About half an hour later, before they could catch a pig to cross the river, the reporter had to turn back to the side of the road, took out his fishing gear from the car and decided to rush into the ferry At about 7:00, the sky began to brighten The reporter walked to the ferry with his fishing gear and swaggered along the easy road into the ferry He met the villagers from time to time along the way The reporter asked if there was any fishing here He drew close to them He chose the fishing spot as his name and went to the river to find the best shooting spot He also approached the pig selling ferry step by step At the ferry, although it was just dawn, the reporter pretending to fish did not arouse the villagers' suspicion The villagers were very enthusiastic to chat with the reporter in disguise Looking around, the reporter found that there were more than 10 simple huts built on the bank There was a small bed in the huts, which was used for temporary rest by the villagers who came to catch the pigs About 50 men and women were scattered on both sides of the boundary river to catch the pigs Among them, there were women in their 50s and 60s and girls in their 10s Pretending to be fun: the reporter photographed the process of illegal crossing At 7:15, more than 20 pigs were caught up with the special bamboo rafts by the border people across the boundary river Then, villagers surrounded the two ends of the bamboo rafts with spare wood Several villagers standing next to the reporter grabbed the rope tied to the bamboo rafts and pulled hard towards us About two minutes later, the bamboo rafts slowly pulled to the bank After a while, the horn of the "Du Du" two motor vehicles broke through the air The horn was the order When the car to pick up the pig arrived, several elderly villagers immediately rolled up their trouser legs, walked on the bamboo row and drove the pig to the shore The naughty pig was humming around the bamboo raft and refused to go ashore At this time, an old woman swung a bamboo whip towards the tail of a pig, and the people next to her beat the pig with their hands More than 20 pigs were driven into the fenced special road one after another On both sides of the road, there were more than 20 villagers "welcome in the lane" to escort the pig to an agricultural vehicle At that time, the reporter shouted "fun, fun..." At the same time, I took a photo with the pig and helped them drive the pig with the fishing rod All the way, they took the opportunity to take photos When the villagers saw the reporter, they didn't stop us from taking photos, as if they had never seen the pig before This farm car with pigs is divided into two layers, the license plate at the back of the car is covered with canvas, and the operation license number of the car is "cargo 33s00323" Villagers first use a long board to get to the upper floor of the car A dozen villagers grab pig ears, some pig feet, and carry a pig head to the car along the board After the upper floor is installed, continue to install the lower floor in this way In less than 10 minutes, more than 20 pigs were loaded into the car After that, all around the car was covered with canvas, and there was no sign that the pigs were in the car Cause suspicion: the reporter risk was thrown to Vietnam After the farm car full of pigs drove away, the reporter returned to the river, picked up the fishing rod and "fished" to wait for another batch of Vietnamese pigs to cross the river and go ashore At this time, the reporter in the whole process of catching pigs and loading pigs took photos continuously, which aroused the suspicion of the villagers A male villager in his 40s approached the reporter and grabbed his corner "Are you a reporter?" he asked? Why take so many pictures? We make a few dollars a day Don't mess with us! " Several other villagers shouted, "tie them up and throw them in Vietnam!" Hearing these words, the reporter was nervous There were nearly 50 villagers on the other side If we really started, we would be miserable Seeing the danger, the reporter hurriedly claimed that he was not a journalist, but a teacher in Nanning He went out for a fishing trip at the weekend He just came from Pingxiang He took photos just now After a while, the tension eased a little Worried about the villagers smashing the car, the reporter pretended to fish with them and told the driver to drive away quickly There was no fear to see the reporters, and the villagers no longer paid attention to them However, the villagers didn't remove their doubts about the reporters They were still free to fish because they didn't know the identity of the reporters Instead, the villagers were afraid A few minutes later, some villagers shouted to the other bank, "go, go back to the village first." In less than 3 minutes, all villagers on both sides of the boundary river withdrew The villagers' withdrawal scared the reporters There are dozens of pigs across the river The villagers will definitely come back It's dangerous to continue fishing in situ But if you leave immediately, the villagers' suspicion will be deepened It may not even be possible for the village to pass It's even more dangerous The reporter decided to continue fishing From the ferry to the road, there is no signal from the mobile phone within a few kilometers In case of an accident, there is no way to contact each other, let alone ask for help The reporter has been fishing in fear After fishing for about half an hour, no villagers came to the river and no one was on the road The reporter put away his fishing gear and left in a hurry When the reporter's car passed Gu min village, all the villagers who had just driven the pig stood by the side of the road, staring at the reporter's car, some of them still pointed out and said, "this is the car..." For fear that the villagers would block the cars and smash them, the driver accelerated to pass Gu min village to track the agricultural vehicle carrying pigs to Longzhou County There's a certificate that the veterinary station sends out immune ear tags Where are these pigs sold from Vietnam to Longzhou, and there's a special truck to ship here? Because the farm car carrying pigs has been 40 minutes ahead of the reporter's car, and the road from Shuikou to Longzhou is being expanded, the road is full of potholes and the car can't drive fast There are also trucks carrying sugarcane in front of the reporter's car, which is impossible to catch up with the pig truck At 9:30, the reporter got in touch with the insiders again and learned that the Vietnamese pigs would go to the animal husbandry and veterinary station of Longzhou county to go through the formalities of "animal immunity ear mark" in order to be legally slaughtered and listed The reporter immediately drove to the gate of Longzhou animal husbandry and veterinary station to wait for the rabbit At about 10:10, a tricycle brought five pigs without ear tags from the direction of Beimen street in the county to enter the veterinary station, followed by another three tricycles loaded with pigs from the same direction The person familiar with the matter said that the pig peddler first transported the pig to a more concealed place for storage by truck, and then "broke it up into parts" and transferred the pig to Longzhou animal husbandry and veterinary station in batches by tricycle for "animal immunity ear mark" The reporter followed the pig tricycle into the veterinary station, and saw that the staff of the veterinary station gave the pig carrier "animal immune ear tag" according to the number of pigs After paying the money, the pig carrier hurriedly clipped the "animal immune ear tag" onto the pig ear, and then transported the pig to the slaughterhouse of Longzhou County food company The reporter traced all the way to the slaughterhouse of Longzhou food company located in Baisha street, Longzhou county One of the tricycles unloaded the pigs and then returned to prepare for the second trip The reporter also rented a tricycle to follow him, but on the last slope, the tricycle rented by the reporter suddenly stalled, and he could only watch the tricycle disappear, so he could not find the pig storage place of the pig dealer At about 12 o'clock that day, the reporter rushed to the ferry near Gu min village and found that the pigs on the other side had been smuggled, and there was no one at the ferry Go on, the reporter found that there are two similar ferry crossing nearby At 6 a.m on the 15th, the reporter came to the gate of Longzhou animal husbandry and veterinary station and waited to see if there were any cars carrying pigs to clip ear tags From 7:16 to 8:20, four modified minicars with license plates of guif90884, guif71172, guif70683 and guif90726 respectively drove into Jiaer Biao of veterinary station one after another, and then they also drove to the slaughterhouse of Longzhou food company At 8:30, the reporter interviewed the staff of the animal husbandry and veterinary station of Longzhou County who was in charge of registering the ear clip at the gate Reporter asked: "according to the regulations, when should pig ear clip be used?" "Piglets should have ear tags when they are raised," the worker said If it's a pig that has been raised and is going to be put on the market, it must have the pig raising certificate issued by the local village committee before we can give it the ear clip mark " Later, the staff member took out three certificates with the cover of "Donggui village committee" from the drawer to show to the reporter, which said "Tan has 17 heads, Lu has 16 heads" and other words, and another villager has 17 heads, on September 22, 2004 He sued
