DOGS & CATS ARE PET AND NOT MEAT FOR POT...!!!

Of late there had been a general petition going around and urging people who keep pets like cats and dogs to sign it so that it  can

be sent to the government and people of Yulin, a city in the People's Republic of China.

The petition comes from people all over the world and they urge the Chinese people and their leaders to consider putting a stop

to killing, cooking and eating dogs, especially, which are pets and not meant to be eaten like the meat of pigs, goats, sheep, cow

nor even poultry.

Like the adorable felines or cats, dogs have been adopted by human beings thousands of years ago as lovable companions and

guardians of their domesticated farm animals against unpredictable hunting by predators such as lions, tigers and roving wolves.

However, in ancient China, Korea and Vietnam, the people there had found that dog meat was good for consumption, particularly

during the cold months of winter.

Hence, the people in these countries would consume dogs and even had raise them in special forms so that they could be raised

like farm animals for food processing.

Today, like our feline friend the cat, a dog is commonly regarded as a faithful companion and the loving member of one's family.

In any country throughout the world, dogs are raised for such companionable purpose for our home as faithful and lovable

companion.

Hence, as an overseas Chinese, I passionately urge all my Chinese brothers and sisters in China to raise up their objections

and petition their leaders and country not to kill dogs for food but instead treat them like family members.

While the world condemns the Japs for killing whales and eat them for food, the Chinese, the Koreans and the Vietnamese

should also avoid be condemn for cruelty in eating cats and dogs which are not meat for the pot, but affectionate companions.

So stop killing cats and dogs for food and raise more hogs, cattle and poultry for the table instead.

So to the "ignorant" eaters of dog meat in Yulin, I appeal to them to treat the dogs with mercy and humanity please.
