Coming off of the heels of Shenzehn being the first city in China to ban the consumption of cats and dogs, the Ministry of Agriculture in China has addressed the omission of cats and dogs as being listed as "livestock". This marks the very first time that cats and dogs have been omitted from the list but also the first time that it has been recognized and spoken out against by a recognizable figure in China.
While most vegans would argue that it is hypocritical to be horrified by the consumption of cats and dogs while still consuming animals period, it's especially horrifying because we have for so long labelled these animals as companions and not food. For me specifically, I don't think anyone should be eating animals period but when it comes to animals designated as livestock, we shouldn't be looking outside of this box for other animals we can eat. We are already subjecting entire species to a lifetime of torture and slaughter for our plates, we needn't subject ALL animals to this horrific life.
Another thing about the consumption of "pet" animals in China is that they are bred in some of the most horrific conditions imaginable if not stolen from households to be consumed. These poor cats and dogs could very well have been a family pet before they were snatched up and caged until consumption. The images of dogs crammed into cages, whelping for their lives as they await being burned alive, beaten, or worse, is one that I cannot forget which is why it is so important that someone of high rank in China has finally addressed the consumption of dogs and cats in a negative light. This could signal the end of the dog and cat meat trade in China which would spare millions of animals from gruesome deaths every year. With Shenzehn banning the consumption and now the Minister of Agriculture speaking out, I am hoping we will continue to see good news for animals coming from China starting with a full ban on the consumption of cats and dogs. I will update you guys as more information becomes available. HAPPY VEG

First of all, cats are far easier to deal with than dogs. A cat does not need as much attention as a dog does. Also, cats are far more intelligent that dogs, that is a known fact. I am not saying that cats are inherently better, but that is where the facts point to, that is what I am saying.

Cats are very different from dogs. If you have owned both of them, then you will know what I am saying here. First of all, cats are far easier to deal with than dogs.

Consider your family's lifestyle, living space, and the temperament of the pet you want to adopt. Some pets may be better suited to households with children, such as dogs that are known for being gentle and patient.

Always supervise interactions between children and pets, especially younger children who may not fully understand how to interact with animals. Never leave children alone with a pet, even for a short period of time.
