I'm so glad I ate breakfast already because I would've lost my appetite after reading this story. I always thought it was a rumor and I never researched it, but it turns out to be true. Asians eat dogs and cats. It turns out to be very popular.

However, China is considering to make eating cats and dogs illegal. They say

"Cats and dogs are loyal friends to humans."...."A ban on eating them would show China has reached a new level of civilization."

 

I agree with them, but that might just be because the thought of eating cats and dogs makes me want to cry and vomit at the same time.

The consequences of sellling/eating dog and cat meat aren't as bad as I would have them.

The ban on eating dog and cat meat is part of a larger proposal to toughen laws on animal welfare. Individual violators could face up to 15 days in prison and a small fine. Businesses found guilty of selling the meat risk fines up to 500,000 yuan ($73,500.)

 

But it's a start I suppose. I mean, it is a tradition for them. They even have special farms to raise the dogs and cats!

It's sickening to me, but at least they're trying to ban it. Even if it takes 10 years.
