How does slaughtering pigs privately constitute a crime?

Slaughtering pigs without permission constitutes a crime, involving laws and regulations related to animal protection and food safety in China.

First of all, according to the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), illegal slaughtering, processing, transporting and selling animals and their products that have not been inspected and quarantined, if the circumstances are serious, constitutes the crime of illegal business operation. Pigs are important animal resources in China. Slaughtering pigs without permission not only violates animal protection laws and regulations, but also may pose a threat to food safety.

Secondly, slaughtering pigs without permission may also violate the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Animal Epidemic Prevention. The law stipulates that animals should go through strict inspection and quarantine procedures in the process of slaughter, processing, transportation and sales to ensure the safety of animals and animal products. Slaughtering pigs without permission may lead to the spread of animal epidemic and pose a threat to public health.

To sum up, slaughtering pigs without permission constitutes a crime, and if the circumstances are serious, it may violate criminal laws such as illegal business. In order to protect animal resources and public health, China laws strictly restrict the slaughtering of live pigs without permission.
