BEIJING: The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is seeking public opinion on a revised list of edible animal species in the latest effort to distinguish between livestock and wildlife.The move came after the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress decided in February to crack down on the illegal consumption of wildlife.
In a circular posted on its website recently, the ministry said it had drafted a new version of the National Catalogue of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources in light of the NPC Standing Committee’s decision.
