According to Steering Committee 389 of Lang Son province, from the end of September, poultry smugglers have increased the frequency and the volume of poultry breeds through the area, especially Loc Binh district border area. The smugglers often take advantage of the dark night to break down fences and carry cages containing poultry breeds into border communes such as Yen Khoai and Tu Mich (Loc Binh district). When they arrive at the gathering place, the poultry breeds will be loaded to trucks to move the inland.
Motorbike and truck drivers are very active, such as sending people to monitor the authorities, driving vehicles flexibly with high speeds to avoid the authorities. Some drivers even crashed their vehicles into competent authorities, causing many difficulties in inspection, control, arrest, and handling.
According to data from Steering Committee 389 of Lang Son province, from the beginning of August, the authorities seized 31 cases and imposed administrative fines of over VND214 million; confiscated and force the destruction 101,800 chicken/duck breeds; 8,532 kg of poultry products of all kinds.
