Guest guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I believe I heard announced over the tele today that the Chinese have ordered all restaurants to get dog entre of the menu during the olympics. You may have to verify this though, but I am pretty sure I did hear it.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yes I heard it, too, but it's being done just for the Olympics. Beijing shouldn't have had the Olympics because of its terrible animal rights, human rights, and environmental record, so Beijing is doing a lot to put on a good front for foreigners come Olympics time. - Paul, Founder/Green Vibrations.--- On Fri, 11/7/08, Editor <editor wrote: Editor <editorRe: PLEASE SIGN PETITION--DOG MEAT OFF THE MENU DURING BEIJING OLYMPICS Date: Friday, 11 July, 2008, 7:19 PM I believe I heard announced over the tele today that the Chinese have ordered all restaurants to get dog entre of the menu during the olympics.
