Improvements to what?

 

We already consider dogs to be pets, rather than food. And cats, and most carnivores.

 

I doubt we have enough (any) influence to convince the CCP to follow any of our food guidelines, much less what protein they can and can't eat.

 

But 4channel was spot on with his rebuttal of your premise - bigotry due to the perceived race of the recipient of said bigotry is racism. It says so on the label.

Except would have been the same response to an obvious banana bender if the virus had have originated from our Brissy - but such does not fit the conflict driven narrative of some.

For Hundreds of years the Chinese farmed dogs for food.

 

Oxen where to pull the carts and farm work, they where to useful to be eaten

 

Horses where used for transport and never eaten.

 

The french used to eat horses and still eat snails.

 

People still eat Rabbits that can be full of disease

 

Makes me want to be a vegan  when I think of mad cow disease

The attacker is homeless. Now she may have a roof over her head for 5 - 20 years and with free meals provided. Pretty clever, but abhorrent - yes.

dog are carnivores, so their meat has no nutritional value for humans.

 

Humans should eat grass-eating animals, or herbivores, for nutrional value.

 

I get it if there's a famine you'd eat what you can, but no way do modern Chinese need to eat dogs and rats and cats and bats and what all else.

Everything has nutritional value.  I doubt if dogs in China are fed meat.  Most Chinese eat pork and chickens.

I would LOVE to see the scientific basis for THAT particular idea.

Protein is protein and we don't absorb DNA from our food.
