The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has forbidden the Ukrainians to slaughter pigs in private backyards. Private pig producers are to go to special cooperatives to slaughter animals.
The Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, Mykola Prysyazhnyuk says “We must stop pigs slaughtering in backyards by 2015 ”. But according to the specification such changes concern only those who sale pork. The citizens of Ukrainian villages who grow pigs for their own usage may slaughter them in their own yards.
