    Hong Kong (CNN)The Chinese government has issued a new draft list of livestock that can be farmed for meat in the wake of the coronavirus epidemic, which is suspected to have originated from wild animals in a Wuhan wet market.

    Beijing temporarily banned all trade in wild animals for food following the outbreak, which has now spread globally to infect more than 1.6 million people, but the new law has yet to be finalized.
    China's Ministry of Agriculture issued a draft list of animals considered fit to be used as livestock on Wednesday night, including dietary staples such as pigs, cows, chickens and sheep, as well as "special livestock" such as a number of species of deer, alpaca and ostriches.
    Two species of fox, raccoons and minks can be kept as livestock but not for their meat.

    Taking dogs off the menu would be a PR move but they would have to ENFORCE it. Good. Luck

    Bow wow mutton is a cultural dish.

    What does dog eating have to do with the virus?

    Stopping consumption of wildlife isn't enough, they need to stop all trade as well. And not just in China but worldwide.

    I dont understand this need for some people to constantly equate us with some 3rd world ass countries. Every country can do better when it comes to animal rights, but to say we're on the same level as fn **** hole China is just false and infuriating.

    Stopping international travel from Wuhan and not just domestic travel would have been enough... well to help slow it. They let that Rona spread wide and far...

    The point is, you can't trust people who either eat dogs or condone it. Or communists.. or basically all of those types of people.
