Taiwan bans eating dog and cat meat
« on: April 12, 2017, 11:58:10 pm »
-Damn.  I guess they are not for dinner anymore. Better hide your guinea pigs! _

Taiwan has outlawed the consumption of dog and cat meat, as the island’s legislature on Tuesday passed a landmark amendment to its animal protection laws.

The island’s official Central News Agency (CNA) said the revision showed the transition “from a society in which dog meat was regularly consumed” to where “many people treat pet cats and dogs as valued members of their families.”

Previously, the Animal Protection Act only covered the slaughter and sale of dog and cat meat. Individuals who eat or trade dog or cat meat can now be fined between $1,640 to $8,200.

I think it was limited to animals bred and raised for the purpose in South Korea. (Remember that a few generations ago it was impoverished and some old people still got the taste for it)

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

No way to know if this is western propaganda or if it is true, but I was in a presentation years ago, where the speaker remarked that the starvation in NK was so grim, that all animal life there was being exterminated. She compared it to what happened on Easter Island.

So, no fish in any stream, no frogs, certainly no pet dogs or cats, can be found there, because they've all been eaten. Even some species of bugs are in peril. In NK, a dog or several cats would be a wedding feast.

She describes village peasants gathered in fields with huge nets to catch any migratory birds that may be passing by. In fact, this practice was done for so long and to such a degree, that the migratory birds learned to avoid the area, and now migrate around NK.

While we all live in the 21st century, the people of NK are trapped in a much more primitive era. An era in which a dog or a cat would be a celebrated feast.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
