HONG KONG - China’s top legislature said it will immediately ban the trade and consumption of wild animals, in a fast-track decision it says will allow the country to win the battle against the coronavirus outbreak.

Scientists suspect, but have not proven, that the new coronavirus passed to humans from animals. The disease has now killed almost 2,700 people in China and spread to countries around the globe. Zhang said it was both urgent and necessary for the decision to be made at the “critical moment for the epidemic prevention and control”.

XHNews ChinaDaily Stop eating dogs, dogs are known carriers of Corona which is why we vaccinate them with 1-DAPPv+Cv, 1-DAPPvL2 or 1-Cv which is specific to Corona. Viruses mutate when they travel to other species, so StopEatingDogs CoronaOutbreak

To little to late.The band will be difficult care out,its money and it’s survival for some of these people.

So sorry, I know this is a very Western reaction, but that’s gross! Ellos comen perros! eeeeeww

china....ha!

That was a quick action from the great China. Anyway....

Thanks China for finally closing that barn door long after the horse has left!

snakeflu

Slamming that Barn Door shut!

poor dogs

Whatever, it did not come from an animal, it is man made released by China.

Best decision and let combant the diease to end.

philipbkk You can’t eat everything on this earth, and if you do you will catastrophe like coronavirus... don’t kill animals to eat...

'Domestic animals'

Asia and pacific island people are consuming wild animals, so when is the next time they consuming human? Those thugs with New Zealander have been foxhunting us in Auckland city with their advanced manipulation technologies. The thug criminals controled government.

Does that include rats, dogs and cats? 😉

Oh! now they have developed some brain. Next they should ban eating pets

Lol, welcome to the modern world China

Well I don’t believe a word from Communist China. And I think CCP should pay more attention on the live wild animals which have been left inside at the Wuhan Seafood market. Some are dead and rotten. And those alive are escaping!

China cracked down on the wildlife trade in the immediate aftermath of the SARS outbreak in 2002 and 2003 too. The trade was allowed to re-flourish in the years after because it's big business.

They should stop eating bats etc

Better than nothing, but i believe the Chinese would still have a way to eat those.... And we were not even know if it was the real source of WuhanCoronavirus...

Permanent ban for God's sake and pls eat halal

disgusting

Does this include sharks

Corona Virus may have good consequences after all.

Lots misconception and ignorance in the replies. How often do you see dog meat or bat soup in your Chinese restaurants? I bet anything most people know Chinese food as sweet&sour pork, deep fried rice, etc.

Only two months late

About time!

Thank you, China.

No more killings of rhino and elephant

I should think so. Disgusting how they eat anything with a pulse !

Our wildlife in our National Parks are safer. I hope they also ban animal products for medicinal purposes. I don't know why they use testicles & dog penises,horns,snake bile for medicinal purposes

The gods of African jungle is standing up to the Chinese poachers

If they'd done that sooner, we'd not have the problem. This ban must be made permanent.

Wont help...

It’s a little late.

has no rules and cleanliness

China usually always makes sound laws; the trouble is they are never enforced in practice.

Good thing they only have a small population to regulate and enforce this

Now Africa's animals can get a break

Funny that dogs are hanging there, dogs carry Corona Virus. They get what they deserve!

The worst ever since human rise

Now their mind(wisdom) start work.

Welp, good thing we have tons of evidence that prohibition works!

Thats a good start.

It's never too late...

At least now they try

Horse and gate. A bit late.

Abolish the fake medicine crap too. Horns of endangered animals etc. There's no medicinal value, and it opens up to trade of things from which the next pandemic may arise.

Is it even possible to execute that ban?

How will that help prevent leaks from your bio labs?

A little late

Good! No more Tusks, Elephant or Rhino, and let’s add Whales and other special endangered species too after this one..

Also pork

parang ikaw lang ung nakabitin QueenRegghie 😂

Silver lining.

Now go to Halal food, it’s clean and made by Muslims who clean themselves using water 5 times a day for the 5 daily prayers. Islamic instructions, something worth to think about!

Hopefully they don't use this as an excuse to persecute poor people.

This is distorting the narrative of the current reality. The virus came out of a biological weapons lab that was to be used on Hong Kong residents since the communist party couldn't just roll in tanks & kill people like in Beijing in 1989.

Ugh looks like dogs to me

Better late than never!

Let them keep eating anything they want. The animals are slowly starting to get revenge on these scumbags.

How many deadly viruses & deaths have to occur b4 people start to realize you can’t mess with wildlife? People have been abusing, torturing, illegally trading and consuming wild and domestic animals for YEARS!!! If this is what it takes to stop these activities then so be it!!!

Good!

GreatFireChina ChinaUncensored

Just temporarily.

Sure. They ate bat then it infected the world. How ppl believe this shit..

This picture shown how sick China is!!!

Mintgecko No difference between a dog and a pig or cow. These people will kill and eat anything

Welcome to 1920

This'll go over like a lead balloon. These poor bastards have little enough to eat now! Its human nature to eat what's available to survive. Im not condoning it in any way,but too many people easily condemn the poor. 'Walk a mile in my shoes, then judge my path'.

Poor dogs :( Why would you pick this image ? U just triggered 12 kabillion majillion people. THEY AINT READY FOR A BERNIE SANDERS PRESIDENCY FOOD LINE. FFS Shame Shame Shame MeToo Coronavirius MAGA WWG1WGA KAG QANON

Maybe they’ll finally stop farming & eating dogs.

'All well' says trump.

Those are dogs 🐕 your talking about and what about the 🐈 cats also

Well that's some Rhinos, Tigers, Whales and Sharks saved from needless mutilation.

It's technically already banned but not enforced. They need to make sure they put an end to all the illegal wildlife trade.

realDonaldTrump POTUS Demand a PERMANENT banwetmarkets

Um, I can’t tell if I’m seeing the picture incorrectly or what. Are those dogs? If they are, I will have the Holy Ghost turn Coronavirus loose again.

including tiger and rhino?

, I love ya; but, please...no slaughtered dog pictures. Thanks. Coronavirius

Cant they just eat beef like everyone else...why do they want to be special

Literally devastated for lovely puppies 😢

The Chinese cannot live without eating wild things!.

The blame will always rest on the wild animals, in reality it's human's greed and exploitation that cause or the creation of all this viruses.

rather too late dont you think?

Ok, but dog (as in the shown picture) is quite a rural animal, or pet.

Only took them basically destroying their entire country and possibly others to stop with this barbarism

A little late.
