Defensor blasts Bureau of Animal Industry for ASF scourge

Anakalusugan Party-List Rep. Mike Defensor has joined the chorus of solons who have chastised the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Animal Industry for the outbreak of African swine fever in the country.“The responsibility is supposed to be with the Bureau of Animal Industry under the Department of Agriculture,” Defensor said when asked about who should be blamed for the current ASF problem.

Earlier this month, Bayan Muna Party-List Rep. Carlos Zarate accused the DA of hardly lifting a finger even if the ASF menace was already ravaging the swine industries of Asian and European countries. ASF has a 100 percent mortality rate among hogs. While the ASF virus isn’t known to cross over to humans, the mass culling of thousands of pigs afflicted with the disease has been undertaken by local governments.
