The AFCD strongly recommends that citizens who bought hamsters in Hong Kong on or after the 22nd of last month hand over the hamsters to the AFCD for "humane destruction". Tian Beichen questioned why the hamsters were not forced to hand over the hamsters if there was a risk of spreading poison. Authorities "strongly recommend" citizens to hand over hamsters "no soup or water".
Chen Zhaoshi emphasized that the method of recycling hamsters is to minimize the risk of infection, saying that of course the government can enforce it, but he believes that citizens have some responsibility for the overall epidemic situation, and also said that some citizens have called the department to hand over the hamsters.
