Shenzhen becomes first Chinese city to ban eating cats and dogs

[Anonymous]

New law in China changed the definition of dogs as "pets" as opposed to the previous definition of "livestock".  



I believe they also recently outlawed the "farming" of wild animals as well.

Somebody posted about that this morning. That is good. I mean if it's enforced.

It might be in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and a few others. In the hinterlands, fuggedaboutit.

Even though eating bats seems distasteful to us westerners...



It doesnt seem to be that different to eating a rabbit or a squirrel..





People eat what is available to them..





Eating dogs however is pretty unnatural..

I'm sorry, bats are so ugly the natural world for them is caves.  They don't even have a face their mother can love.  



The very idea is disgusting.
