We have chanced upon a report claiming that a city in China has been reportedly forced to ban its residents from eating dog, snake, frog, turtle and cat meat.
This comes after the deadly Coronavirus is still causing serious havoc around the world.
The law which was passed by lawmakers in Shenzhen, a city of around 13 million people will take effect on May 1 per a government notice issued.
This also comes after China banned all trade and consumption of wild animals.
Scientists really believe it is responsible for the Coronavirus pandemic.
According to the document, only nine types of livestock are suitable for people to eat. They are pigs, cows, sheep, donkeys, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese and pigeons. Aquatic animals are also consumable within this period.
A spokesperson who spoke before the law was passed indicated that authorities wanted to make it easier for people to know what can be eaten.
He said;
“There are so many animal species in nature. In our country alone, there are more than 2,000 kinds of protected wild animal species.
If the local authority is to produce a list of the wild animals that cannot be eaten, it will be too lengthy and cannot answer the question exactly what animals can be eaten.”
