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.

Bats have been downgraded from fine dining to just for poor people.

They're also reclassifying bats as chicken.

As far as I am aware dogs have not been the cause of any of these Chinese born viruses in the first place

Its all the other weird arse shite they eat and let sit around all day in the sun

A worthless move on the whole

I hear they are even thinking of classifying citizens outside of the ruling class as "people" sometime in the next 20 years

So they’re going to be eating pets instead of livestock?

Pretty sure it wasn’t the dogs that got us here.

Big nothing burger.

Chinese steal their neighbors pet dogs and eat them now. How does reclassifying change this?

Hopefully that means they will put an end to that festival where they cook the dogs alive. I blundered across a video of that and wished I hadn't, that was fricking brutal
