Dogs in China
[Read the article: An Olympic disgrace]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Please don't assume that all Chinese eat dogs!
I have friends in NanNing, GuangXi Province, who I visit frequently (I live in adjacent VietNam) and there are many who have dogs as household pets.
On one occasion I jokingly said to a dog owner: "Yum, yum" looking at her dog which immediately resulted in a look of shock as she explained that her dog was not for eating!
Dogs, both in many parts of China and VietNam, are bread for eating - they don't just grab any mutt off the street for lunch which what others do with cows, sheep and pigs.
