SHENZHEN - The Chinese city of Shenzhen has banned the eating of dogs and cats as part of a wider clampdown on the wildlife trade since the emergence of the new coronavirus.
"Dogs and cats as pets have established a much closer relationship with humans than all other animals, and banning the consumption of dogs and cats and other pets is a common practice in developed countries and in Hong Kong and Taiwan," the city government said in an order posted on Wednesday .China's top legislature said in late February it was banning the trade and consumption of wild animals.
"There is no evidence showing that wildlife is more nutritious than poultry and livestock," Mr Liu was quoted as saying by the state-owned media Shenzhen Daily.
