BEIJING (Reuters Life!) - A proposal to jail people who eat dog meat for up 15 days has caused controversy in China, where dog hot pot is traditionally popular.

you will be in the jail if you kill someone's dog, especially a nice and beautiful dog.. dog meat can make you warm in the cool weather and many people in the guangdong love to eat dog and cat dog, you can see they hang around the street. if this law is approved, i m glad to hear that and this will help poor and homeless dog around the country, what about Laos??
Get realllllllllllllllllll , this is very funny when i read about this topic. Let' put it this way if they, the chinese politicians approve this new law. imagine that how many million shops would be close down. and people will be without the jobs and loss of income...
wish we could send them dogs from the US, everywhere everyone has to get pit bull and rotwieler to poop all over, I be happy when they eat every last dog, including wolves.
