Wow that's great news! A step in the right direction as least.

As much as it disgusts me personally, I can't fault people who like to (by necessity or preference) eat animals that aren't typical for Western based cultures.

We raise and slaughter a significant number of animals and not every one is raised and killed in a humane way.

I would feel safe in assuming that slaughter houses in China, whether you are a pig, chicken, lamb, goat or cow are not ideal places to be.

Cats and Dogs are abundant and breed easily. I can understand how they can become a food source.

But my god...

This festival is human hubris at it's worst.

I sure hope that this is the beginning of the end for it.

The type of animal doesn't bother me either - it's the torture that bothers me. Be it in China or Canada.
