Polish veterinarians are committed to specific behaviors. They have an obligation to actively prevent pollution of the natural environment and threats to public health. The law does not prohibit them from hunting though. Hunting birds with lead ammunition is harmful to the environment, birds and humans. In view of the above, it seems that this type of hunting should be forbidden to veterinarians. Unfortunately, Polish law makes it impossible to punish veterinary surgeons for bird hunting with lead ammunition. As hunters, veterinarians are probably aware of the harmfulness of such behavior, but they prioritize their pleasure over environmental concerns. This study examines Polish legal acts related to hunting by veterinarians and presents specific legal provisions requiring and forbidding specific behaviors of veterinarians. According to the law on the profession of the veterinary surgeon, members of this profession must not engage in bird hunting with lead ammunition. The study discusses the difficulty of changing the current situation and forcing Polish veterinary surgeons to abandon bird hunting with toxic ammunition and to actively fight this practice. Veterinarians, in particular those who are hunters, should actively oppose such forms of hunting that are harmful to the natural environment, especially the hunting of game birds with lead ammunition. In accordance with veterinary knowledge, ethics and deontology, all veterinarians should inform the public about the harmfulness of eating game animals shot with lead ammunition, in particular with lead pellets.
Rectal prolapse (prolapsus recti) in swine is relatively common. Factors influencing the development of this phenomenon are described in literature: infections (Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, swine flu, salmonellosis, spirochetosis, adenomatosis, colibacteriosis, parasites), environmental factors (too low temperature, excessive number of animals), nutritional (fiber deficiency, hypovitaminosis E, excess of lysine, feed containing mycotoxins), genetic (the gene responsible for rectal prolapse – P), pharmacological (tylosin, lincomycin, florfenicol), technological (grouping of sows, low birth mass of piglets, too short pruning of tails in piglets). The paper describes the advantages and disadvantages of the treatment, including minimally-invasive and surgical procedures. The authors’ modification of the treatment is presented too
Legal norms determine the rules for conducting a veterinary necropsy to a limited extent, leaving the regulation of this matter to the veterinary art. The norms of binding Polish law and rules of veterinary professional ethics in relation to conducting a necropsy are analyzed and interpreted. The ethical and legal aspects of the veterinary surgeon’s activities have been highlighted. Non-observance of these rules during the post-mortem examination of animals may result in the incompatibility of the proceedings with the principle of acting lege artis, the effect of which is civil and professional liability. Moreover, when the section was commissioned by the authorities, inappropriate conditions or the manner in which it was carried out (including legal and ethical premises) may diminish the meaning of the section protocol as evidence. It should be remembered that animal corpses are subject to obligatory utilization, so in the vast majority of cases the section protocol is the only documentation and it cannot raise the slightest doubt, which may be the case in the failure to observe the discussed principles of performing a posthumous examination of animals. Considering that every veterinary surgeon may be appointed by various institutions (i.e. courts, police, prosecutor, insurance company) to conduct the necropsy, it is advisable to familiarize this professional group of public trust with the ethical and legal aspects of its implementation.
Owing to its properties, food of animal origin is subject to special supervision by the Veterinary Inspectorate (VI), and food production requires close adherence to official regulations. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the veterinary supervision of abattoirs in Poland on the basis of data generated by the VI in 2005-2015, which are available on the website of the General Veterinary Office (the RRW-5 report). The data from the reports for particular years were used to determine statistical trends for the number of official decisions (warnings and prohibitions) issued by the IV for supervised and controlled abattoirs. It was found that in 2005-2006 (i.e. the transition period, during which abattoirs not yet in compliance with the EU requirements were allowed to operate) there was a 31.36% reduction in the number of abattoirs (from 762 to 521) with a negative evaluation issued by the VI. In 2007, the number of such abattoirs was comparable (1,432) to that in the previous years, but the VI issued more negative opinions (by 16.52%) than in the previous years because of more restrictive regulations. The results of such actions became visible in 2008, when the number of abattoirs decreased to 731, and the number of those with a negative assessment decreased by 33.28%. Starting from 2010, there was a progressive reduction in the number of decisions issued by the VI: in 2015, it was 66.32% smaller than in 2010 (a drop from 2,500 to 967). The number of decisions decreased along with the number of abattoirs in which poor sanitary conditions were found. An increase in the number of negatively assessed abattoirs results in the VI issuing administrative decisions: first, official warnings (to eliminate irregularities) and then prohibition notices (to stop production). Compared with the years 2005-2013, the years 2014-2015 saw a similar number of warnings and the lowest number of prohibition notices. Although the total number of administrative decisions and prohibition notices issued during 2005-2015 showed a clear downward trend, there was an upward trend in the number of warnings. By using administrative tools commensurate with potential risks to consumers, the VI improves sanitary conditions in abattoirs or eliminates them from the market. The analysis conducted in this study suggests that the sanitary conditions of animal slaughterhouses in Poland are satisfactory, which is partly attributable to the appropriate supervision of such facilities by the VI.
In a manner accessible to non-lawyers the study shows animals as a subject of the contract of sale in the light of the Polish civil law. This knowledge appears to be useful for a veterinary surgeon during the sale of animals in terms of the clinical examination both in determining their condition and health as well as their defects. The paper interprets the dependency of diagnosed defects in the perspective of a contract of sale. The article presents basic knowledge in the range of a veterinarian as a clinician and expert. It presents the knowledge about the physical and legal defects of animals based on the norms of the civil code and other Polish normative acts.
There is a systematic increase in the number of traffic accidents involving both domestic and free-living animals. It was found that the largest number of animals dies in May and at the turn of October and November. It is estimated that only every fourth driver reports collision in Poland. In some cases, wounded animals are slaughtered and their meat is used for consumption. In connection with road accidents involving animals, it is crucial for the law-enforcement authorities to determine the actual state of affairs in order to assess the proper course of the collision. The paper presents comprehensive legal and veterinary aspects of the discussed issues. The own analysis was made according to the number of the road incidents in Poland with the participation of animals
The Veterinary Inspection (VI) has been, by virtue of law, equipped with a number of controlling competencies. This evaluation involved the operational activities of 50 districtveterinary inspectorates in 2008–2012 in the following provinces: Warmińsko-Mazurskie,Śląskie, Wielkopolskie, and Lubelskie. The effectiveness of administrative decisions on the discovered cases of undesired events in the controlled entities was performed. The results are representative for the whole country. The analysis of the data indicates a need for an increasednumber of controls and for improving controls and for improving their quality. Continuous monitoring of supervised entities and analysis of the data provide a basis to reduce undesiredevents
In some legal proceedings, the species identification of animal on the basis of fragments of biological material is extremely difficult. This applies both to closely-related and to distant species characterized by similar morphological features. In such circumstances, methods of molecular biology are used, whose evidential value is definitely not in doubt. Histopathological scraps may also have to be used for identifying tests. The aim of the present study was to verify the possibility of using DNA analysis in determining the species of animals on the basis of biological material contained in archival histopathological samples. The examined material consisted of twenty-eight histopathological preparations stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The samples had been prepared from the liver, kidney, spleen, and skeletal muscles. Their age varied from one to seventeen years. Specimens (from twelve species) were identified by inputting sequences in the Barcode of Life Database species identification tool on the basis of the similarity percentage figure from the BOLD report. It was found that genetic tests can effectively identify animal species through the analysis of biological material from histopathological samples.
