[BREAKING] Food Alert – China to stop eating dogs and cats!
Written by Jesus on January 26th, 2010 · 5,594 views
Under a new law against animal abuse in China, individuals in caught eating either cat or dog meat could face a fine of 5,000 yuan (approximately $735) or up to 15 days in prison. Businesses involved in the practice could be fined up to 500,000 yuan (or $7,325), according to the Times Online.
The draft going to Parliament in April would be first law against animal abuse by a new, increasingly animal-loving Chinese society that no longer has the taste for canine and feline meat.
Dog meat appeared in Chinese cuisine as early as the third century B.C. and is long believed to provide warmth to those who eat it. Restaurants offering dog — or “fragrant meat” as it’s often poetically referred to — appear throughout the entire nation. Its “warming” property makes it particularly popular in winter stews and the frigid northeastern region of China.
Cat meat, however, is primarily consumed by the people of the southern Guangdong province. Cat is not as popular because of an old superstition that the feline will come back at night to retaliate.
Waking up to a vengeful minx? No thanks. We’ll leave the tail-wagging eating to Andrew Zimmern and Anthony Bourdain.

The chinese need to get w/ teh times… There are dog meat alternatives and cat meat alternatives. What gives?
To DAVID LAZARO, you eat dog and cat, good for you! The point people are trying to make is the inhumane way these animals are killed, crammed into small cages and put into boiling water whilst still alive. Only a saddist would enjoy this cruelty!
Fine you want to eat what you want, then there should be a law to protect animals so they die a quick death with no pain and suffering!
Surely that isnt to much to ask???
Mrs Swift
holy SHIT this is crazy who eats dogs omg
wat the f**k
did the ban happen yet? i am going to china next week and want to taste some of that cat.
why would they even think about eating dogs and cats anyway…. i mean i heard ppl eating nasty carp like squirrel or rabbit or something but a dog and a cat like i cant even look at a dog and say how lucky they are to be here in the U.S. i have respect for them but those PEOPLE ARE FUCKING CRAZY!!! WE HAVE NEARLY ALL THE BEEF AND CHICKEN, PORK, LAMB, TURKEY, GOUT BUT THEY DECIDE TO EAT SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY SEE EVERY DAY A FREAKING DOG AND CAT TO TOP IT ALL OFF IT BE GERMEN SHEPHERD TOO! ERRR dammit every little thing like a dog cat a bug fly rat mouse HAVES A LIFE!! THEY ONLY LIVE ONCE BUT THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO KILL THEM. WHAT HAPPEN IF YOU WERE A DOG OR CAT & YOU GET SKINNED ALIVE OR INTO TO A BOILING PIN ALIVE WOULDN’T YOU BE CRYING FOR SOMEBODY TO HELP YOU. well thats my opinion ( even though i have lots more to SAY! but im not going to because i think you get the point)
This is horrible any one who eats cats or dogs should be beaten and skinned a live then slowly have there meat cut off there body and be made to eat it. you are all sick individuals
Well what can you expect haven’t you noticed that some people will eat anything that moves. That dick head from South America by his comment we all now know why there is so much poverty there. Some people just don’t care except about themselves. I believe what goes round comes round and people deserve what they get.
People who eat cats and dogs need help if they can’t see that god put cats and dogs on the earth as mans best friend. They are a bloody disgrace.
i love cats they so tasty and im chineese so anyone that has a problem i dare u to call me out ill ping pong ur ass or stik a chopstik up ur but

you dudes ever had a rocky mountain oyster?
I will call you outyou lil B**ch…..its not about just eating cats and animals but about the cruelty inflicted upon them.Theres no compassion. Theres a stupid asian b**ch who stomped a kitty to death, gutted it and then threw it away! Animals can see, hear, speak and most of all FEEL…and it is through their wailing that one can hear their pain……its just too cruel.
THERE’S NOTHING WRONG EATING DOGS AND CATS! Everyone eats chicken, cows, pigs, fish etc.. And every animal are equal so.. just because dogs and cats are intelligent doesn’t mean they can’t be
eaten and also we humans made them more intelligent by teaching them things
I’ve never ate a cat or dog before but the thought of it is wrong to me because people live in an environment where the pets they love are being eaten but its called life get over it!
I think it is interesting to see the reaction from different people on topics such as food. In different countries people eat different types of animals. In the US people usually eat Swine/Pork which middle easterners find Disgusting. A lot of americans find nothing wrong with eating Cattle/Beef. In India, The cattle is sacred and would be sacrilegious to even harm a cow. In Peru, People eat Guinea pigs, while other people would think that a rodent would be disgusting. Dog, Cat, Chicken, Cattle, Swine, Whats the difference?? We need to stop humanizing animals. What makes a cow less important then a dog, or a Chicken less important then a feral cat?? as for the inhumane treatment of dogs and cats, we need to take a good look into our own country. our Slaughter houses are horrendous. diseased animals. Also look into dog and cat food. Animal digest. read the labels!!! Animal digest is random animals such as horses, diseased zoo animals, euthanized cats and dogs. Purina is a company that use this. Before we go try to protect other animals in other countries, we need to look into our own country…
CHINOS COCHINOS
That’s just nasty.
yay for xolongro!!
pigs are smarter then most dogs. think about it.

It is not the fact the chinese eat meat, it is the way they treat the animals beforehand. Any person who abuses animals just because they are going to be eaten should treat them humanely and with respect. There is too much abuse going on and there is no need for it.

Good thing I live in South America… I can continue enjoying my cat and dog lunchs/dinners. Who is the government to say what I can and cannot eat. Food ~ Religion
