The finding The bus stop at the garbage can in the Mazūriškės settlement surprised even the employees of the State Food and Veterinary Service who saw it all, writes “Vakarų ekspresas”.
They claimed that the pig heads found were quite fresh, so the pigs could have been slaughtered 1-2 days ago. The workers are convinced that the pigs were not slaughtered in the slaughterhouse but in the yard, since their treatment in the slaughterhouse would have been quite different.
“We have received a report of pig heads found in the garbage. We left, took off the heads, put them in bags and took them, put them in the fridge. We will take the pig heads found to the laboratory for examination and continue monitoring and seeing if they are infected with something, ”said Virgilijus Valantinas, Advisor to the Klaipėda Department of the State Food and Veterinary Service.
According to V. Valantinas, there is a possibility that the pig heads found are infected with African swine fever, because the spread of the latter is detected in the Plungė district, an old age of Plateliai.
“It just came to our attention then. Maybe people are afraid of swine fever, there may be some angry plans,” considered V. Valantinas.
Animal by-products must be recovered, taken to a processing plant or, in the case of a single pig, buried. Incorrect disposal of animal by-products can result in a fine of up to € 30.
All animals kept by humans are registered in the Rural Business Database, so the State Food and Veterinary Service sees how many pigs, sheep, cows or goats each farmer has.
“We would like someone to answer. The slaughter of a pig is not a needle, it is not hidden. Perhaps there is someone who knows or has seen a neighbor slaughter a pig. We would come to review and see in the database how many animals are registered and how many are there really, ”said V. Valantinas.
Anyone with information on who may have left pig heads at the bus stop in the trash can should contact the Food and Veterinary Office by phone: 880040403.
Residents who have found animal products in containers or bins are advised to report to the State Food and Veterinary Service by calling 880040403 or by calling the emergency number 112.
