China to reclassify dogs as pets, not livestock, in wake of coronavirus

China has drawn up new guidelines to reclassify dogs as pets, rather than livestock, in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak — a move that the Humane Society called a “game-changer” in animal welfare.
The pathogen, which has infected more than 1.5 million people worldwide since it emerged in the Asian nation, is widely believed to have originated in horseshoe bats and passed to humans through other species on sale in a wildlife market in Wuhan.
Dog meat remains a delicacy in parts of China, although it is increasingly unpopular and has been banned as food in at least one Chinese city.
“As far as dogs are concerned, along with the progress of human civilization and the public concern and love for animal protection, dogs have been ‘specialized’ to become companion animals, and internationally are not considered to be livestock, and they will not be regulated as livestock in China,” the Ministry of Agriculture said in a notice Wednesday.

Did they also make it illegal to eat pets? Otherwise what's the point?

You have to start somewhere. My dog told me approves of this initiative and she hates China a lot less now.

The poors are going to do it anyway. China isn't going to police this.

I really hope Panda Express complies. I mean, it's still tasty but would help going down.

They have lied about EVERYTHING else they have said. Does them saying this mean they are actually going to eat all dogs out of existence?

Crawfish prices will go up now

Long story behind it, but let's just say I had to eat it or Rummy may have not made it out of China.
