開放瘦肉精美牛// 馬政府夜襲 民怨引爆
馬政府前天深夜突然宣布開放瘦肉精美國牛肉,引爆全民怒火。台灣農村陣線等11個公民團體昨天早上集結凱道抗議,他們高呼:「選前馬總統、選後兒皇帝」、「官僚殺人、禍害子孫」,並將血淋淋的美牛砸向馬英九總統的合成照片,表達不滿。 (記者王敏為攝) 農陣:選前馬總統 選後兒皇帝
〔記 者謝文華、鍾麗華、陳炳宏、何宗翰/綜合報導〕行政院前天深夜「突襲式」宣布開放瘦肉精美國牛肉,不但舉國譁然,同時也引爆養豬戶、養牛戶、農民團體及消 費者團體怒火,相關抗爭從昨天起將一波波上演。台灣農村陣線前晚漏夜緊急動員十一個公民團體,昨天早上集結凱道,將血淋淋的美牛砸向馬英九總統的合成照 片,高喊:「選前馬總統、選後兒皇帝」、「官僚殺人、禍害子孫」,要求政策轉彎、美國毒牛滾出台灣。
豬農罵聲四起 兩萬人明要抗爭
全 台豬農也罵聲四起,明天將強力動員逾兩萬人到立法院、農委會前抗爭。養豬協會痛批政府騙來騙去,說的話不可信,強調豬農群情激憤,豬糞、雞蛋都準備好了! 肉牛戶也痛批,馬政府所謂一國兩制,根本是「柿子挑軟的吃」,養牛戶人數雖少,但自己的產業自己救,他們將串連全國養牛戶,擇日到台北抗議。
苗 栗縣養豬協會總幹事何桶生昨指出,該協會會員最近收到黑函,恫嚇抗爭就要讓豬價下跌,會員群情激憤,明天將號召兩百多人北上陳情。何桶生說,該黑函並提 及,農委會已擬妥養豬戶的「離牧辦法」,四月起將補助毛豬拍賣價格,整廠離牧的建築物、廢水處理廠拆除都有補助,養豬戶必須簽署保證書不再養豬。但向農委 會求證後,農委會否認發函。
反美牛聯盟 今天到行政院抗議
主婦聯盟等民間團體組成的「反美牛聯盟」昨也召開記者會,提出「完全禁止瘦肉精、陳?下台」等訴求,今天上午將前往行政院抗議。
農陣昨天仿美國二戰期間徵兵海報,在西部牛仔裝扮者以食指比向前方肖像,貼上馬英九照片,帽沿掛國民黨黨徽,寫下「就是要你吃毒牛」大字,嘲諷馬拍美國馬屁;中正一分局調派卅位員警戒護,抗議者隨後轉向總統府遞陳情書。
農陣召集人、學者蔡培慧憂心,一旦開放瘦肉精美牛,未來WTO會員國都可依「最惠國待遇」規定,要求比照美國,將自產瘦肉精牛肉全往台灣倒!
她並抨擊,馬政府趁夜宣布解禁美牛,犯了無知理盲、圖利私人、喪權辱國之恥的「三恥」!行政院說未來會標示清楚,但小朋友在學校吃營養午餐、民眾在路邊吃牛肉麵,該如何分辨吃進肚子裡的是不是「毒美牛」?
學者憂心 瘦肉精牛肉往台灣倒
台 大穀雨社成員傅偉哲說,去年他和四位台灣青年透過福爾摩沙基金會赴美拜訪一三○位國會參眾議員時,多位議員即表態關切美牛、TIFA、軍購,他兩週前寫信 連繫其中一位參議員布朗,提及美牛銷台議題,布朗助理已回信透露,議員已指派主管貿易人員進行研究,希望他多提供民間資料。
傅偉哲表示,馬總統應採合縱連橫策略,遊說美參眾議員幫台灣說話,並以台灣人民反對聲浪做為對美談判籌碼,而不是還未做任何努力前,就反過來要脅台灣必須接受開放。
人權陣線召集人陳哲等人隨後也在凱道高舉「馬如希特勒做掉民主」、「不是林來瘋,而是『培林來,瘋』」字牌,痛批馬玩弄人民,讓人民感覺被羞辱,令人心痛!
馬政府硬幹 瘦肉精美牛有條件開放
針對美牛問題,國民黨昨日邀集行政與立法部門相關人員座談,後排左起外交部長楊進添、經濟部長施顏祥、農委會主委陳保基。 (記者方賓照攝) 政院:牛豬分離 排除內臟
〔記 者黃維助、王寓中、李宇欣、顏若瑾、王昶閔、謝文華/台北報導〕在民意強烈反彈、專家學者砲轟質疑下,一再重申沒有預設立場的馬政府,在馬英九總統這兩天 親自投入後,昨晚突然決定「有條件開放」瘦肉精美牛!在野黨立委表示,如果馬總統執意蠻幹、行政院一意孤行,不排除發動倒閣。
行政院昨晚十時許以新聞稿宣布對飼料添加萊克多巴胺的牛肉「有條件解禁」;並提出「安全容許、牛豬分離、強制標示、排除內臟」的十六字政策方向;有條件解禁並不包括豬肉,也不包含萊克多巴胺以外的瘦肉精。
人民淪為俎上肉 民團憤怒
消 基會、主婦聯盟及公民團體聞訊同感錯愕和憤怒,質疑所謂的「專家會議」都是作假,從頭到尾,馬總統一個人說了算,人民只是任他宰割的「俎上肉」。包括台灣 農村陣線、全國青年反美牛瘦肉精聯盟、台大穀雨社、大南埔農村工作室等團體今天上午九點三十分,將集結凱達格蘭大道抗議。
南部養豬業者也認為,行政院「有條件開放」的說法根本不可信,也絕對做不到,政府立場與他們的訴求相違,八日仍將如期北上抗議。
力阻美牛 學者籲立法反制
台灣風險分析學會會長、台大公衛學院副院長詹長權質疑,風險評估尚未完成,不知政策依據為何?牛、豬、內臟被用三種不同標準切割,形同沒有標準可言,他預言,含瘦肉精的豬肉與內臟勢必擋不住。他反對這樣粗糙、不科學的決策,呼籲立委修法反制,抵擋含瘦肉精美牛強硬闖關。
民進黨及台聯立委怒批馬英九將黑手伸進立法院,未來將使用最激烈的抗爭手段,在立法院捍衛國人健康到底,並將要求記名表決相關提案,讓全國選民向立院施壓、「反映民意」,讓投贊成票的國民黨立委被全國人民唾棄。
提案修法阻絕瘦肉精的國民黨立委楊麗環、張嘉郡仍表示堅持瘦肉精「零檢出」,強調不能拿國人健康當實驗品!
美國在台協會昨晚則表示,歡迎任何有關美國牛肉的正面消息。
對於國內牛隻的飼料能否添加萊克多巴胺?行政院發言人楊永明表示,未來對進口牛肉有條件解禁後,國內牛隻的飼料若要添加萊克多巴胺,必須經過申請核准的程序,否則還是不可使用,因為主管機關並不鼓勵在牛隻的飼料中添加萊克多巴胺。
行政院昨晚罕見以發布新聞稿而非召開記者會的方式,公布重大政策。對於何時開放含萊克多巴胺的牛肉進口?行政院表示,目前僅提出確定的政策立場,正式開放時間會與各界充分溝通後,再作決定。
不過,政院這項政策與部分立委所提不得檢出瘦肉精的修法版本相牴觸,未來在立院勢必有一番激烈攻防。楊永明指出,行政團隊將與立院理性溝通,不會逕以行政命令凌駕立法院的決議。
在野批馬 不排除發動倒閣
立法院台聯黨團總召許忠信對此痛批,這證明「馬英九總統的黑手伸進了立法院」,國民黨立委日前都還提案要「零檢出」,現在做出這種決議,國民黨立委勢將難以向選民交代,台聯將要求立院院會記名表決相關提案,讓全國選民向立院施壓。
民進黨立委陳其邁、趙天麟表示,如果行政院一意孤行,不排除發動倒閣。
民進黨立委高志鵬也批評,馬英九在大選前拿著美國牛肉和美國政府交換,「難道為了選上就可以不擇手段嗎?台灣人的健康就這麼不值錢?」對於這種犧牲民眾健康的結論,民進黨團會使用最激烈的抗爭手段,在立法院捍衛到底!
民進黨立委蔡煌瑯表示,對這種結論,朝野協商時勢必不會有共識,到時候就在院會記名表決,讓投贊成票的國民黨立委接受全國人民的唾棄!
對於政府「有條件解禁美牛」之說,消基會董事長蘇錦霞6日晚間接受訪問時表示「非常憤怒」,她說行政院一開始就設定要開放美牛進口,沒有採用專家學者意見;蘇錦霞強調,總統馬英九要說清楚,逼得台灣開放美牛進口的壓力是什麼,是為了美國免簽還是為開TIFA(台美貿易暨 ...
美農業部最新研究/豬餵萊克多巴胺 出現攻擊行為
農委會主委陳保基昨日在國民黨中常會針對美牛議題,再次強調食用萊克多巴胺所生產的肉品,並沒有人體副作用的報告。 (記者王敏為攝)現在人們開始質疑此人的適任 〔記者鍾麗華、彭顯鈞/綜合報導〕美國農業部最新研究指出,餵食萊克多巴胺的豬出現攻擊行為,而這種攻擊基因表現機制,人豬相通,恐導致人引起憂鬱、焦慮、自殺傾向。專家要求,應比照消保法的精神,美國藥廠要負舉證責任,證明人吃了萊克多巴胺不會有影響,才能解禁。
人豬相通 恐引焦慮自殺傾向
消基會推薦的美牛會議專家、全家聯合診所身心科醫師蘇偉碩,昨天公布美國農業部轄下農業研究所家畜行為研究單位,在二○一一年發表在「腦部研究(Brain Research)」科學期刊實驗報告。
該研究以三十二頭公豬、三十二頭母豬做觀察,分為餵食組與沒有餵食組,在餵食三十一天後解剖腦部,測量相關的基因表現標誌,結果發現腦中血清素、多巴胺濃度降低,母豬較公豬出現明顯差異。
蘇偉碩指出,由於豬隻食用萊克多巴胺後,會出現豬咬豬的攻擊行為,這篇研究證實萊克多巴胺影響豬隻腦部基因表現。而豬隻的神經生理學的研究也可以提供一個有用的模型,用以了解包括人類在內的高等哺乳動物的攻擊行為。
蘇偉碩解釋,腦中血清素、多巴胺濃度降低,已被廣為描述是與多種動物的攻擊行為有關,而且也與人類精神疾病有關。
這份最新的美國官方研究報告,顯示萊克多巴胺不但會增加心悸等心血管疾病的風險,還會影響人類腦部神經,產生興奮、失眠,或因為焦慮而產生憂鬱或恐慌症,或小孩過動及攻擊性的霸凌行為。
蘇偉碩也說,萊克多巴胺也會產生過敏症狀,而過敏跟劑量無關,只要一點的過敏因子,輕則皮膚發癢、眼睛嘴唇喉頭腫痛,重則可能併發過敏性窒息、休克或猝死,尤其台灣的過敏兒那麼多,更應該注意。
學者︰應舉證不影響人體 才能開放
高雄長庚醫院榮譽副院長陳順勝表示,一般而言,試驗是從小動物做起,再做大動物,然後推論到人的身上,因為涉及倫理,不會直接做人的實驗,此研究已在大動物的階段。應比照消保法精神,要求藥廠舉證不會影響人體,才能開放。
豬互咬 農委會︰與吃培林「不完全相關」
農委會主委陳保基則指出,國內試驗發現,豬隻發生互相爭鬥,與吃培林「不完全相關」。十多年來的相關研究,「食用萊克多巴胺所生產的肉品,並沒有人體副作用的報告」。防檢局長許天來說,他沒有看過該份報告,加上涉及人醫的範圍,不便評論。
美牛跨部會技術諮詢小組會議21日舉行第二次會議,田秋堇、許智傑,台聯立委林世嘉,綠黨中執委潘翰聲,還有主婦聯盟、消基會、社大全國促進會、GLCA幸福生活站、看守台灣協會、台灣動物社會研究關懷協會等公民團體一早來到農委會聚集,要求政府應公開會議過程。

「氣喘藥比培林毒」 陳揆惹議 民視 (2012-02-16 21:55)
瘦肉精要不要解禁,朝野還是沒共識,但是行政院長陳Y,接受媒體專訪時,說氣喘藥中的受體素,比培林還要毒,引發外界質疑,是不是代表已經打算要解禁瘦肉精?陳Y強調,只是給大家不同的思考方向,要不要解禁,還是尊重專家學者的意見!
行政院長陳Y,親自到農委會視察,朝野最關切的瘦肉精,到底會不會開放,他還是不露口風。
談到瘦肉精,陳Y還是標準答案,專業考量,風險管理,不過在接受平面媒體專訪時,卻侃侃而談,甚至舉氣喘藥當例子,說其中的受體素,比瘦肉精來得更毒。
從瘦肉精,培林,萊克多巴胺,到現在的受體素,馬政府官員,拿出一大堆專業名詞,要替瘦肉精「消毒」,不過就算毒性再低,風險再低,要開放瘦肉精之前,還是得先問問全國民眾,願不願意承擔,這額外的風險。

Taiwan
Taiwan is an island off the coast of China, a nation of some 23 million people who live in a state of ambiguity regarding mainland China, which claims it as part of its territory.
The island, long known to Westerners as Formosa, was seized by Japan in 1895. It returned to Chinese control with the end of World War II. In 1949, as the calamitous civil war that followed the departure of the Japanese came to an end, the defeated Nationalists fled to Taiwan, leaving the island and China in a formal state of war.
China’s singular aim is reunification, even if it requires military force, and each side has kept a wary eye on the other through decades of internal tumult. The question of their fraught relations — culturally close, politically suspicious — grows ever more urgent as China’s wealth and regional influence expand, and ever more obvious as mainlander tourism here surges.
In January 2012, Taiwan held its presidential elections — only the fifth time since Taiwan threw off single-party rule in 1996. During the election, voters were concerned with issues like stagnant wages, a growing wealth gap and steep housing prices that have frozen young urbanites out of the real estate market. They also considered another important issue: whether this vibrantly democratic island should speed, slow or halt its wary embrace of China.
On Jan. 14, Ma Ying-jeou was re-elected president by a comfortable margin, fending off a challenge from his main rival, Tsai Ing-wen, who criticized his handling of the economy but also sought to exploit fears among voters that Mr. Ma’s conciliatory approach toward China was eroding the island’s sovereignty.
Mr. Ma’s victory was welcomed by Taiwanese business leaders, who feared his defeat could irritate China and set back the détente that has served them well during the past three and a half years. China, which regards Taiwan as a renegade territory, had warned that a win by Ms. Tsai, whose party has traditionally backed formal independence, could threaten the “peaceful development of cross-strait ties.”
Mr. Ma, a Nationalist, has overseen a raft of agreements that have revolutionized the way ordinary Chinese and Taiwanese interact. There are now direct flights, postal service and new shipping routes between Taiwan and the mainland, and a landmark free trade agreement has slashed tariffs on hundreds of goods.
The agreements opened the gates to the deluge of Chinese tourists — 213,000 arrived in November, 30 percent more than in November 2010 — who buoyed the local economy with more than $3 billion in spending in 2011. Other firsts include a pair of giant pandas from China, an early reward for Mr. Ma’s Beijing-friendly gestures, and nearly 1,000 mainland students who now study at Taiwan universities.
The burst of contact has reawakened old sensitivities and raised new ones.
