Shenzhen has become the first Chinese city to ban the sale and consumption of dog and cat meat. It comes after the coronavirus outbreak was linked to wildlife meat. Thirty million dogs a year are killed across Asia for meat, says Humane Society International (HSI).

Think it doesn't happen here?

THINK AGAIN...
"Shun Ji Xue from Toronto was charged and convicted of unlawfully possessing black bear gallbladders and fined about $3,000."
Ingesting bear bile? Seriously? These folks are the Scientologists of the hypochondriac universe.
