3.ThoroughTraumaTreatment
In 2019, as ASF broke out in Gyeonggi and Gangwon Provinces, stamping-out cases increased, and the psychological
support to the workers began to materialize. According to the 2020 project report from National Center for Disaster and
Trauma, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs revised the guidelines for emergency operation procedures
against livestock epidemics from 2019 to 2020 by adding information on ¡°Psychological support for participants such as
stamping-outpolicy.¡±Thecontentsincludetheimplementationof¡°TraumaPreventionandSafetyEducationofParticipants

own bylaws for personnel participating in the stamping-out policy. A bylaw of Gyeonggi Province passed the Health and
Welfare Committee on February 18, 2020, to support the prevention and treatment of psychological trauma for personnel
participatinginthestamping-outpolicy.
Professor Lee said, ¡°There are measures being arranged, but actually, there are no measures to cope with post-
traumatic stress yet. Regarding the stamping-out policy, continuous treatment counseling for PTSD should be established
nationwide.¡± According to an interview with Hankyoreh and lawyer Ha Seung-soo, who participated in a constitutional
complaint, ¡°The factory-style livestock industry is unconstitutional,¡± said in 2013. He also said, ¡°As the stamping-out
policy is carried out in a hurry, humane regulations are hard to follow. You can¡¯t hope for every rule to be strictly kept
when the worker is working in a bad environment and labor conditions. For this reason, the government should not leave
the trauma of stamping-out workers up to individual discretion. They should be responsible for direct treatment for the
workers.¡± The government should take responsibility for the treatment of the trauma of stamping-out policy workers and

Why do livestock get killed through the stamping-out policy, even the healthy
ones, while humans make numerous efforts, such as developing vaccines when
there is an infectious disease? The situation of humans developing vaccines to
cure their diseases and animals that are killed after living their whole life in a
¨Ïecoview
dense space seems so different. All living things are equal in the face of viral
infections. There is no being that deserves to be buried alive in the ground
for prevention against disease. The stamping-out policy should face criticism
because it is a policy that depreciates life and considers only administrative
concerns.Thereisaneedforanewpolicywithenvironmentalconsiderationsto
