Business owners ignore temporary government ban on local meat

30/07/2016 00:00

Despite the Ministry’s order to ban sales of local meat, merchants are
not respecting it. Several butchers in Tirana are selling it normally.

Business owners admit outside cameras the meat they sell is outside the government’s control grid.

The Ministry has banned it to prevent the spread of nodular dermatosis, a disease that doesn’t affect people but is fatal for animals and spreads rapidly.

The Veterinary Director at the Ministry of Agriculture says the government has acted on time, and the animals will keep being healthy. But footage in the market show the order is not being implemented, and meat is being sold wherever salesmen see it fit.
