Well it has been a long time tradition in China, Korea had nine thousand tons of dog are served at about sixty five hundred restaurants across their country annually.
China is looking into to drafting a law which would make it punishable under a cruelty to animal law that comes with a fine and jail.
I don't know about you but there is no way I'm eating one of my dogs.
Read the article by Zhou Zhou here.
