全台防狂犬

台東發生狂犬病鼬獾咬傷人後,當地民眾人心惶惶,紛紛帶著家中貓狗, 到防疫中心施打疫苗,前一陣子發現感染狂犬病,死亡鼬獾的雲林、南投地區,也不敢掉以輕心,緊急借調誘捕籠,捕捉流浪狗。

台東淪為狂犬病疫區,被狂犬病鼬獾咬傷男子居住的興昌村,村長一早就廣播,要村民趕快帶著愛犬,愛貓來打疫苗。

不只台東拚防疫,雲林清潔隊員也出動二十個誘捕籠,放在山區捕捉鼬獾。

目前專家都只是推斷,真正病毒來源連防檢局都還不清楚,專家呼籲,除了施打疫苗,不要接觸山區野生動物,才能避免感染風險。

疾管局目前先調度一千多劑狂犬病疫苗到台東,優先讓有疑似狂犬病症狀的野生哺乳類動物和家中寵物施打,希望將病毒擴散機率降到最低。

為防止疫情持續擴大,疾管署也緊急向國外調貨,第一批從阿姆斯特丹的1040劑疫苗,在下午抵達桃園機場。預計8月份還會再進2000劑。全部的疫苗,在檢疫過後,送往衛生福利部統籌處理。

 

CDC increases rabies prevention measures after new case emerges (2013/07/24)

After the Taitung man was bitten, the Centers for Disease Control began stepping up rabies prevention measures. Together with local governments it is urging people to vaccinate pets and other animals to prevent the disease from spreading. 

Taitung is now listed as a rabies infested area. The village chief where a man was bitten by a rabid ferret-badger is urging local pet owners to get their animals vaccinated.

Besides Taitung, Yunlin has set up 20 cages to lure and capture ferret-badgers in mountains.

Experts and government officials do not know the origin of the disease. They are urging vaccinations for pets and for people to steer clear of wild animals.

狂犬鼬獾續

台灣發生染狂犬病鼬獾咬人首例!一位31歲住在台東縣東河鄉的男子,22日晚間在住家遭一隻闖入的鼬獾咬傷,男子逮住鼬獾,送往農委會家衛所檢測後,確認該鼬獾感染狂犬病,後來這位男子緊急施打狂犬病疫苗及免疫球蛋白,還好目前沒有大礙, 但後續還要再追蹤。

農委會防檢局跟疾管署23日晚間緊急開記者會,宣布國內出現第一起染狂犬病鼬獾咬人案例。

[[疾管署副署長 周志浩]]
“這位民眾是30來歲的男性,是在台東,他在昨天晚上(週一)時,被一隻野生動物咬到,在左手食指的地方”

幸好這名男子緊急到醫院施打免疫球蛋白和狂犬病疫苗,目前病情還在觀察中。

農委會上個月陸續在南投溪頭,雲林古坑和南投魚池發現三隻死亡鼬獾身上有狂犬病毒,這回又在台東發現染狂犬病的鼬獾,大家都擔心病毒是否已經擴散。

[[台大動物醫院醫師 季昭華]]
“我認為現在要兩個步驟來做,第一個就是要全面性的調查,在台灣的低海拔山區的這些食肉性的野生動物,看牠們到底有沒有狂犬病毒的感染,第二個就是說,有可能接觸到這些野生動物的犬貓還有人,尤其在低海拔工作的,一定要注射狂犬病疫苗”

狂犬病感染後潛伏期一般是20天到三個月。發病後致死率極高,會有發熱疲倦和呼吸困難等症狀,但只要在發病前立即到醫院打免疫球蛋白和狂犬病疫苗,基本上都能存活。

錄影聲追人

洪仲丘枉死案,檢方持續追查監視器出黑的原因之外,現在也打算從錄到聲音的監視器,"以聲追人",追查誰在背後搞鬼。

洪仲丘所待的269旅禁閉室,總共16支監視器,但偏偏洪仲丘禁閉室、對著操練場,及對著洪仲丘身體不適曾求援的安全士官桌的3支監視器,在關鍵時刻出現黑畫面。

 

Footage Blackout (2013/07/24)

It has been three weeks since Hung Chung-chiu died in a military cell. One of the most vexing parts of the case involves three surveillance cameras that blacked out at key moments and locations. 

Investigators now say they hope to rely on voices captured by cameras that remained running. From this information, they hope to figure out the conditions Hung was subjected to prior to his death.

洪案聯合會

陸軍下士洪仲丘遭虐致死案,至今已經21天,但還有許多疑點無法釐清。上午國防部長高華柱拜會法務部,兩大部長罕見達成合作機制,但仍強調軍檢, 軍檢署持續偵辦涉案人士,至於法務部則是針對湮滅證據的部分,展開調查。

對於洪仲丘受虐致死一案的調查,今天國防部與法務部在記者會上信誓旦旦。

[[國防部長 高華柱]]
“"一定要對社會大眾,以及相關單位所提出的各項意見,我們會一一的兌現,會透過相關的平台,我們來溝通,主要的目的就是要還原真相,給社會大眾一個交代"

[[法務部長 曾勇夫]]
“我們做了非常坦承的意見交換,我們有共識,要全力分工合作”

大動作宣示偵辦決心,但卻有自家立委認為,洪仲丘案應該全部交由第三方來查。

[[立委(國) 丁守中]]
“我們都會向馬總統施壓,也會向國防部施壓,應該把洪仲丘這案子,交給第三公正方,由桃園地檢署偵辦,或由特偵組偵辦”

法務部次長陳明堂表示,依法來說,此案並不是特偵組所職司的案件,因此不會讓特偵組介入。 

Defense and justice chiefs pledge collaboration in Hung Chung-chiu case (2013/07/24)

In a rare move, the ministers of defense and justice have pledged to cooperate in the dead soldier case. Military prosecutors will continue their probe of suspects while the justice ministry will be in charge of investigating allegations of destroyed evidence. But some lawmakers worry that the government has already lost credibility and are urging it to pass prosecution to an impartial third party. 

Defense Minister Kao Hua-chu and Justice Minister Tseng Yung-fu were full of promises on Wednesday.

Kao Hua-chu
Defense Minister
We will meet public expectations and achieve each of the requests put forward by government agencies, says Defense Minister Kao Hua-chu. We will also communicate through platforms available to us. Our goal is to uncover the truth and give a full account to the public.

Briefs (2013/07/25)

Stiffer Fines
Stiffer fines for car drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians are in effect. Last week the Ministry of Transportation raised fines for car drivers from NT$2,000 to NT$2,600, a change that originally wasn’t to be implemented until August. Some drivers complained about the early implementation, but on Thursday a ministry section chief said that it gave due warning last month.

Solar Power Incentive
As part of its program to encourage green energy, Taiwan Power offers to purchase solar generated electricity from the general public at NT$8 per kilowatt hour. After weighing the costs and benefits, many believe it’s a profitable deal. In the Changhua area alone, over 300 families have installed solar panels.

African Grass Owl 
After discovering a nest of endangered African grass owls in the mountains of Daliao earlier this year, the Kaohsiung Wild Society began a two-month shooting project to document and survey the animals. It unveiled results of the project on Thursday. African grass owls are threatened by habitat destruction. Fewer than a hundred remain in the wild in Taiwan.
