Should Dog And Cat Meat Be Banned?

As we reported here on Wednesday, a draft anti-animal abuse law being drawn up here could result in fines and even jail time for anyone caught eating cats and dogs. The draft law stipulates that people who eat cats and dogs could be fined more than 700 dollars or jailed for up to 15 days.

Restaurants found offering cats and dogs on the menu face fines of more than 70,000 dollars. Supporters of the law say it would help break down trade barriers imposed on China's animal products, such as leather and fur. That's because some Western countries ban imports of Chinese animal products, citing inhumane treatment of animals in the country.

Cat and dog lovers are of course supporting the draft law. But plenty of people aren't happy about this proposed law - eating cats and dogs has been a tradition in some parts of China for thousands of years.
Exploring China - Qingpu Episode 2

Nick, I mean Agent Nick, must find a 6000-year-old person (that's right, a 6000-year-old person). If you want to know if he succeeds or not, you have to watch the episode.

Exploring China - Qingpu Episode 5

Agent Nick passes out in the middle of nowhere and gets dragged along the road for like, a good 3km. He also completes his final mission (for the time being, at least), which makes him go crazy and run around in public, screaming like a maniac.
Exploring China - Jilin Episode 4

In this episode, Agent Nick's missions take him on a wild goose--er, chicken--chase, to find a rooster whose call can be heard in three countries simultaneously. Oh yeah, he also has to find a shirt made of corn.
