Good News for Chinese Dogs!

Good news for dogs in China!

Yours truly just heard on the radio news that the Beijing Catering Trade Association have announced that restaurants servicing the areas surrounding the upcoming Olympics will have to take dog off the menu under the premise that they should respect foreign attitudes to the eating of dogs. They suggest that if anyone does request ‘fragrant meat’ (as dog is locally known), then restaurant staff should discretely suggest other dishes.

Over 112 restaurants have to remove dog from the menu for the duration of the summer Olympic. Which is certainly good news for a good many dogs! If only they’d keep it that way!

Respect for other cultures is essential to world peace — including respect of four-legged culture by two-leggeds, and vice versa. We all really could do with more of it!

Ggrrwooof! Archie
