It sounds like people in power are finally catching on that something has to be done in China to have more modern control of the food distribution system. Classifying dogs as companion animals and not livestock should eventually have the desired effect of making them less desirable to future generations, although I've never seen eating dog meat to be a big problem -- offensive to me and my culture, but each to their own.  

 

As for revoking and banning all licences for the breeding and distribution of wildlife along with outlawing the consumption of it, that is a much more important step, and hopefully it will be carried in earnest. Even the Chinese who are set in the oldest and most socially dangerous ways have to now understand that some of their old habits have to stop. People may argue that the inhabitants of some regions have been eating bats for a long time, so why would they now suddenly start causing human illness? It's hard to say exactly why or even if, that was the cause of covid-19, but we do know that they are very prone to carrying rabies, and viral mutations can apparently occur, so those chances just can't be taken anymore, 

 

'' although I've never seen eating dog meat to be a big problem'' OK not wanting to be a hypocrite I would have to reluctantly agree, but the inhumane treatment of the dogs in the name of ''improving the taste'' or ''tenderising the meat'' or whatever excuse goes well beyond the pale and is extreme animal abuse of the highest order and has no place in this world.

Great news but I fear many will ignore it and stubbornly carry on with their filthy habits.

Oh great, now we have to stay six foot away from Tigers!

True colours, they're no countries friend.

Paddy wanted to join the priesthood and had to go for an interview with the bishop to test his suitability for the vocation. "You must answer these three questions correctly for your application to be accepted" said the bishop. "First, who was born in a stable?" "Red Rum" Paddy replied. "Second, what do you think of Damascus?" "It kills 99.9% of all germs" came the reply. "Thirdly, what happened when the disciples went to Mount Olive?" "That's an easy one" Paddy replied. "Popeye kicked the s**t out of them!"

Why do the Chinese not play cricket?

Because they've eaten all the bats!

Stupid is as stupid does!
