Langfang: The culling of indoor animals of COVID-19 patients has been stopped. In addition to culling, what other methods can avoid the spillover of the epidemic?

Regardless of the situation, it is obviously inappropriate to kill the indoor animals of COVID-19 patients, which does not take into account the patients' own emotions and is also disrespectful to animal life. After the relevant culling measures caused great controversy on the Internet, the relevant person in charge of Langfang District also said that the policy of culling indoor animals has stopped.

The way to avoid the spillover of the epidemic is not just to cull a COVID-19 patient. Of course, we should pay attention to the animals at home, because they may also become the vector of the virus. However, the advantages of unified culling policy far outweigh the disadvantages. On the one hand, collective culling is the destruction of patients' private property, which is not allowed by law. According to the laws of our country, pets with certain value belong to the owner's personal property. If indiscriminate culling is carried out, the culling personnel are likely to be prosecuted. On the other hand, pets have emotional sustenance for their owners. Many emotional owners regard their pets as part of their families. If a pet is killed for no reason, it will definitely be a big blow to the owner's mood.

Then, if you don't cull, how can you prevent the epidemic from spilling through pets? I personally recommend this practice. The first is to isolate pets that may be infected by collective isolation. Then judge by a professional veterinarian to find out the infected pet. For pets without health problems, I think they can be put back and let people return to their owners' homes. Whether those infected pets should be killed or treated depends on the owner's idea. If the owner agrees to cull, then the relevant personnel have the right to cull.

Humanized anti-epidemic is very important under the epidemic situation, but how to humanize anti-epidemic is more important. I don't think pets should be deprived of their innocent lives for no reason, and they don't want to be infected. For them, the epidemic has also affected their normal lives. As a more intelligent human being, I think it is not difficult to treat these pets humanely in the epidemic.
