Under new rules which will come into effect May 1, the government said it will be illegal to eat animals raised as pets.In February, following the coronavirus outbreak, China passed a law to ban the consumption of wild animals. China has made eating wild animals illegal after the coronavirus outbreak.
"If convicted, they will be subjected to a fine of 30 times of the wild animal's value, if the animal is above the value of 10,000CNY [$1400 USD]," announced authorities.

So what— do they want an award for acting civilized or something? Smh...
Really
Yeah i support for dogs are to protect not be eaten
fake news!!!!
Lies . Lies. Lies . LIES
Now chines understand 😁
The virus came from China
Merlusun Finally!
Hmm why?
That's 999%protesting what 1% did！！
This is a start. Next!
搞笑，要你管麽？
how about cows and chickens?
Please include bats and pangolins to the list.
... and bats?
Nasty
I understand that we all have different culture and tradition. But there are parts of our culture that must be eliminated or should be stop because it poses a danger or side effects that can damage the fabric of the society. I hope they continue it. Good move.
Should be banned worldwide!!
Finally. 🙄
Well flip! Was planning on eating a couple of beagles after this whole thing eased up.....
These bans should not remain with cats and dogs Follow the prohibitions of Allah 🙏🙏🇹🇷
Continue to eat bats ?
There will ALWAYS be the Black Market!
There needs to be a law for this?
This is as good of a time as any to mass produce the Impossible Cat and Dog normmacdonald
And what about the rest, bats,..
Ha this stuff is real I always thought it was jokes lol
Karma don't forget!! Insane people
About time
Fucking city
Act and dog rights reinstated. Bravo!
NOT BEFORE TIME
Should had been banned a LONG time ago...
progress doggonetime tonguegotyourcat
Just very few people like to eat the dog
Thank God for that but Wuhan and that region is still a problem !
Why not everywhere? It’s 2020 and we’re just learning this now?
YAY!
ABD lütfen çin i vururmusun
About freaking time!!!
The crazy thing is that it took a worldwide pandemic to get that done - in once city only
Ya ok for how long? They have done this in the past. I say blame them for all this by boycotting them. Promote local making
Animal rights movement should be protesting in China for slaughtering cats & dogs & not just minks or fur animals.
It’s about freaking time!!!
I'd rather eat humans than animals. Might make the world a nicer place.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Evil chiinese propaganda, more deceit, lies. Will they repay for all the cyber thefts, counterfeiting and virus damages. Demand Chins pay for all. SenTedCruz JohnCornyn DonaldJTrumpJr EricTrump realDonaldTrump seanhannity Demand Fill payment. No more trade or business.
Communist News Network carrying China’s water again.
In China, only a few people eat dog meat, I can't understand their behavior, I am very happy shenzhen has a good start. It will get better and better in the future. I have a cat, boy, three years old, like beef and eggs, he is my family, I love him very much.
How about disemboweled bats? Have they banned eating that yet, or is the soup still good to go?
Should be banned everywhere full stop! Disgraceful behaviour 🥺
Now thy can differentiate pets from edibles...
There is definite information that the covid-19 virus that has swept the world was deliberately created and spread by a cult in Taiwan. They have received the assistance and permission of the Taiwan authorities. The aim is to bring down the Chinese government.
Ha ha ha, nice joke
That this is actually a thing, I can’t, no words
Should be banned all over the country by legislative Ordre.
I think most of you should probably educate yourself on what happens to the meat you're buying from the grocery store. You have zero room to talk. Sincerely, A Vegan
May this ban spread. The skinning of dogs and cats and other creatures alive is a practice which I am sure every progressive Chinese person wants to end. If it is also responsible for killing thousands of people through this virus. Past time to stop!
What about frogs?
If truth finally comes out pandemic didn’t come from wet mkt. this was either coordinated planned bio attack or accident that was used as attack: this scandal by China will always b denied & Admn. Will never out right contend facts/ Msm & China sympathizers will always castigate
Lmao at yt folks daring to have a haughty anger over this, when fast food meat is full of horse/rabbit meat and ya ancestors were cannibals.
Fuck yes
- They should become cannibals instead. Leave the friggin’ Dogs and Cats alone. -
That this even has to be done is disgusting and the reason I don't eat anything Asian.
Don't just stop with cats and dogs, ban every exotic animal including horns and fins etc. Enter the modern world where the rest of us live...... You are more than welcome to join us.
😵
Disgusting habit
For someone to believe this shit has to be a dum ass and what about doctor fauci saying in 2017 that President Trump was going to be tested with a world wide pandemic
Yes, we have pandas, just like Americans have guns A kind of
What's the first CITY/STATE/COUNTRY to BAN anything Chinese
What about live animals in general ...😳😔😔😳😳😳😳🤮
This story although i believe cnn intentions were to show not all Asians eats cats and dogs, should be pulled from the Twitter feed. Its only fueling racial stereotypes sadly
I’d b Shocked!! If that ban gets extended to Vietnam
Now if they can commit to stop eating tiger penis.
Very good
What about bats?
🤢
Uhm. Hello
From what I understand, dog meat is known as fragrant meat and it’s consumed during the winter months as part of a stew. I’ve tried for a really hard time to be understanding of this particular aspect of Chinese culture. But I can’t. It’s unacceptable.
The First City?
I think that's the cultural differences. People in South Korea also eat dogs. It's just a eating habit and tradition.
or maybe anything sold in their live meat markets...
Bravo 👏🏻
Finally!
It's about the way the market is run. Not the animal they are eating. Dogs and cats? Not my thing but no different than a cow or pig.
Spare'Snoopy and Garfield'!!!!
Yuk!!!!!!!
They eat cats What did poor old Jerry do to them Eat cats
At least it’s a start to admitting there’s a problem. Just STOP with the negative comments.
Most Chinese not ever eaten cats and dogs and never try future.
It's their fault. Chinese Virus! They should stop eating bats too!
Dogs 🐕 everywhere are rejoicing during this monumental achievement of humankind.
Welcome to the 21st century
What a dirty ignorant country 😡
Please tell me we will not squander this lesson! It is not about which SPECIES of animal we should or should not eat. Just because we keep cats and dogs as domesticated animals doesn't make them any objectively more (or less) expendible than those we (arbitrarily) choose to eat.
How about Bats?
Finally!!!!!
ThomasL619
Irony of Americans chiming in on this when there are people literally eating roadkill in some states.
Hope they will ban to eat them for entire country. Poor dogs n cats.
I don't believe them. I think they lie.
surpress eating freedom
👍👍👍👍👍👍🏻👍😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m not going to “heart” them for coming to being decent. I’m not impressed. Thanks for not eating dogs and cats, but you don’t deserve a trophy.
الحيوانات
Why they don’t ban the whole wild animals eating? Disgusting this people that eat wild animals!
What about pangolins, bats, snakes?
Fake news
The FIRST?!
nathancullen It should have never been permitted - period!
The ‘art’ of making up a misleading title, under your logic, CNN denied hosting a dog eating festival
finally
There should be a blanket ban on wet markets
How about raining cats and dogs🤔
What does this ban have anything to with coronavirus?
But 🦇 are all still good huh 🤦♂️
Shut down that market where all the weird stuff is sold
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Which will be the first country in the world to ban invading other countries for natural resources or making chaos in other countries’ territory to get rid of the ruling government they dislike?
Dog is not food for the majority of the Chinese, let alone the cat. Only for very few regions and very few people. I never try them as food, none of the people around me.
不吃狗肉的野蛮人
Crazy and lier CNN!
cats and dogs are proven to bond with good owners like human babies do with good parents
First You mean there are hundreds of cities left to go?
Disgusting chinese
I don’t believe... your fake news.
They should just shut down wet markets. 2nd pandemic in 2 decades to emerge from there.
How about bats?
Did I read that correctly as 'the first? Jesus Christ
Its about time
But it's ok for it to rain them, SMFH🤦
绝大多数中国人一生从未吃过猫和狗，并且将它们作为宠物。
Add bats and pangolin too.
What about bats?
Grow up with a lot a Chinese friends-none of them ever eat Cats and Dogs. Even in China only a few people eat exotic animals and Cats and Dogs. Remember chicken is the cheapest meat and mass produced. However don’t forget about (Bird flu, Swine Flu)
Not enough, what about the other stuff they eat like bats and it should be a nation wide ban.
Just cats and dogs... They should stop eating everything wild
一个新闻你发了好几遍了，你想表达什么？ 辣鸡CNN
That's just gross and inhumane
Sad, the virus made them abandon part of their culture
China must just join the rest of the world and eat normal food, ban everything.
And the dogs and cats are looking at the volumes of cows, pigs, chickens, etc .... and, thinking 'damn, how did we get so lucky?'
Now the rest of the world can start with banning cows
I hope the ban won't bring about another virus as a reaction of their bodies 😎
Stop eating animals. Any creature 🌱
How about the exotic aminals next?
Wow, they’re so forward think! Great job China! Amazing leadership.

What about bats?!
no need
Good!
Old news, next
What about the scummy wet markets? And the rest of China
Might want to ban eating bat butt holes too
Let's them suffer
When will they ban it in the UK? 😋
OMG.
The journey begins here
Alrighty then 😳
Dude, y'all need to stop.
Should’ve never been eating those?...
Anything that has fluid Chinese will eat. They are way different breeds of human beings. They deviate steeply from the normal psychosocial characteristics of humbeings. Everything good or bad is China, the bad outnumber the good though. It sucks.
About fucking time!!!!!!
Shutting the kennel door after the dog has bolted?
Can they ever stops, haven't we got enough sources of meat food; Cow, sheep, goat, fish. But yet as wicket an ungrateful as they are, they had to exceed the bounds, cocroaches, snakes, human beings bats and now look at the results. The whole world is paying the prize, dam it
Its about time y'all. U guys should quit sharing hedious ailments to the world😠😠
God is good
It is better to implement ban all over the china All over the world is suffering because of their acts If china is intentionally done this all world has to discriminate china.This is best punishment for china.
Finally....!!!! There's some changes!!!.
Need to extend the list
Finally
Whatever you want, the Chinese eat, just like the god in u r mind.
I'm so glad yet again CNN this is what you feel is news. Please tell me more of what's going on in the worst country in the world. Plus its straight up bullshit. They will never stop eating dog and cats. I cant believe in 2020 I have to say that. CNN cares nothing about america.
Will they actually enforce this law?
神你妈CNN!又哪里偷的图污蔑深圳人
I don’t believe the Chinese government when they say no more cases of coronavirus have been detected in China! They weren’t honest in the beginning and they won’t be honest now. Does that remind you of anybody else we know?
I’ll take a hot dog with some chili cheese fries and a Baja blast if you like cheese then milk can be a substitute to a good meal without the fact that I don’t like milk but love cheese 🧀
About time they joined the 21st century.
China is only the decoy CNN said they warned a pandemic was coming in 2019 nobody ate a cat or a dog you have to be a dum ass to believe that
What of the mice and cockroaches
How about stop eating all pets? How about that? There's a difference between livestock and pets and I don't think these people get it
How about banning WET MARKETS too..
Sick people
Bought fucking time
Whatdya mean you don't eat Pussy 🐈🐱😁
savages
How come the WHO hasn’t put a stop to China’s WET MARKET?!?!?! They let China 🇨🇳 reopen the wet market that got us into this problem in the first place!!!! Do you even care cnni CBC JustinTrudeau realDonaldTrump SkyNews RT_com
Whole country should ban eating pets ! Not just one city ! They r family not food !
TRUMP STOP THREATENING PEOPLE SO MUCH YOUR A NOBODY! YOU THINK YOUR ABOVE THE LAW BECAUSE YOUR PRESIDENT! PLEASE YOU WORK FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD WE ARE GOING TO BRING YOU DOWN! DEMOCRATS GET TO WORK!!!
And what about the bats ?
Welcome to 2020
it's about time! Ughhhh
This and democracy should be the only things spreading in China.
What? Whatever will they eat now? Pangolin?
Hooray!
If you want to judge wether all Chinese like eat bat/dog/cat, you’d better come to China and see around by yourself,don’t close your eyes to see the world, or you will be a idiot
Finally👍
Not enough. Good and long overdue but not enough.
You are free to consume this piece of sh$&%
For how long because this can't be forever....they like to eat every living creature on earth
China even Their own race hate themselves.
About time
Some are gonna lose a lot of weight now! And most restaurants will go bankrupt!
That's racist of them
Thank God they realized there are way too good things to be eaten
What about the bats that they eat
About time...
Swiss eat dog.
Great news! They also should stop eating bats! 🚫 🦇🚫 🐈 🚫 🐕
about time ⌚
How about bats?
What about bats, snakes, and other wild animals?
Don't the Chinese have food to eat ?! Why cats and dogs!!!
what about bats?
I think it is reasonable so much，because，we can not find the clean and safe dogs or hats.
So its now right here in this 21century that Chinese are realising its not okay to eat cats and dogs!🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ OMG
FREE Shipping Oxygen Saturation Monitor
All of China needs to ban eating cats, dogs, bats etc.
pets are our friends, we should take care of them
Plz follow the rules china
So will they allow regular inspections?
Dogmeat in China is raised to be eaten, not raised to be pets. And most cats that are eaten are feral. So what would this change?
Chinese are plague. They destroy the nature,animals,oceans,pollute the air, and are greedy and careless for anybody. The world should.demand sanctions against them.for this genocide that they created
Yes American Pig Factory's producing the SWINE FLU. Remember the H1N1 outbreak in 2009?
Well there goes that cottage industry 🤦🏼♂️
It’s about fucking time. Let’s extend that to all animals.
Cool. Welcome to the 19th century China. Now do all wild life markets, pangolins, bats etc .
Well there goes tonight’s ‘take out’ plans
Lol for a year maybe ...
This is the first news I saw that not directly related to coronavirus. We are watching China specially, for every small action.
The real problem are live markets. They're breeding grounds for all kinds of micro-organisms. Fido and Princess could still be eaten if slaughtered and prepackaged properly.
🌞
And what about the Rhino horn?
🤢
What about all the other wild animals and birds they eat? They’re only doing that to appease the world that has a hate on for them!
By admitting this, are they not racists?
They eat animals bc they have no other options. ChinaLiedPeopleDied
My mother along with other people around the world will be very pleased with this news...
Wow, how big of them!!
Welcome to the 21st century idiots
They have to make that a banned thing? Who would eat their pet? Crazy.
It’s about time. I think maybe this was the kick in the ass they needed to take a few steps forward in time...
What is a pet?
And bats, rats, monkeys, bears, insects etc?
They are Fucking animals. Just eat each other. 🤬
And all it took was thousands of years and a worldwide pandemic. Idiots.
There will be the Black Markets popping up everywhere, and the police and health department bettter be on the lookout, or it will be for nothing!
That law should apply to the whole of China.
How about we ban animals that transmit deadly viruses? Like maybe bats?
About fricken time....so cruel....
It is 2020, why is this still something that we are discussing?
So racist
OMG
About 2000 years too late fuck everything about china
ChineseVirus19 ChinaLiedPeopleDied ChinesePropaganda ChinaLiedPeopleDie ChineseCoronaVirus ChinaAttackedTheWorld
Amazing. This is what it took for them to stop this horrid practice.
居然是现在深圳为什么要用英语来写不牌子呢？🤔好诡异，背景不像中国深圳，而且现在在深圳谁出门不戴口罩啊？😷CNN又吹水啦！那么多人聚集不戴口罩出来在街上跑?可能吗?CNN制作假新闻水平也太高拉！👍👍👍
Anybody say believe them ? Me neither
Congratulations You are halfway to human
TRUMP election is in the hand of china if he does not move away from this GOV OF CHINA the american people will not vote him back in as president. AMERICA lives has been lost from this country lies about the china virus. MR PRESIDENT america seen enough death from there lies.
They aren't just eaten. They are beaten 1st.....What about the Horrific Yulin dog torture festival 10's of thousands of Dogs are beaten then butchered alive. Blow torched alive or thrown in to boiling water alive......
Smart
How about bats? 🤨
...this...this should’ve already been...okay
OK... How about bats, pangolins and so on?
I thought they did this like a month ago?
If you would feed your people and take care of your people they wouldn’t have to eat cats and dogs and people are complaining about America ridiculous!
Thank god
good😁
Stupid. What’s the difference between dogs and cats and bovine and swine? Stop eating all animals, how bout dat?
oh my God ! I wonder how many times have chinese restaurant owners fed us cats and dogs meat disguised on the menu ....
Chinese communist party leaders are criminals for hiding the details of this pandemic from the world. We lost more people than 9/11. The USA punished Al Qaeda for 9/11, then why not Chinese leadership. The world should boycott China economically.
Good move
JFC
Sooooooo, if they're NOT raised as pets? What then FakeNews, huh, what in the stupid?
It's disgusting for humans to eat dogs and cats.
No more hot dogs comrades.
Ted Lieu will be devastated.
是个好趋势👏
Why do people eat pets. ?
THAT'S A GOOD STEP
Good new🥺
THERE AIN'T NO CATS IN CHINA TOWN That used to be the joke in the hood. But we sure loved some Chinese grub. The cops found the heads of German Shepherds in one of our favorite Asian restaurants back in the day I'm glad to hear they're banning the use of pets for Food in 🇨🇳..
Wow...isn't that a novel idea!
I think they should be stopped by eating the weird stuff.
What a great idea!!! We should all do that!!! 🙄
Why the hell are you doing it to begin with?😡🤬
Finally. Add bats and mice to the list too
Fats?
FINALLY
Words matter. Animals “raised as pets” and cats and dogs and not the same thing. There are packs of stray animals in China. I doubt anyone was eating Fido to begin with.
What about exotic animals and shark fins that should all be banned as well!!!
Praise the Lord! Maybe there is hope that this horrific cruelty will soon come to an end permamently over there. I am literally in tears at the prospect.
Only the ones raised as pets? So the strays are still fair game? Barbaric
It’s bats not cats.
Still choking down that bat soup though?
👏🍻
It only became illegal to eat dog and cat meat federally in 2018. 44 states allowed it prior to that.
Hmmmm, I wonder what's up with this change?
lislih The Chinese government said that the wet market where the Horse Shoe bat was purchased that started this entire pandemic started would not reopen. But the wet market is back in operation.
AntiCarsonKook What the fudge 😮 🦮🐈
Umm, what about bats?
It’s a start. Good on them.
The fact this is a new rule is disturbing
假新闻，假图片，CNN想抹黑中国
'Under new rules, the government says it will be illegal to eat animals raised as pets.' So if they raise them like food it's legal then? Because it sounds like they're saying that..
It’s about time
A small effort at Entering the 21st century eating habits. Just need to expand to all Of China and Vietnam and to include bats 🦇
It’s about time
Should be the whole country and all endangered animals its this lot and their dirty eating of gods protected animals that has killed many of our loved ones We the world should now stop all of it
Great but pandemics also come from regulated meat stocks like SwineFlu - from US pigs that infected over a billion worldwide! Meat Eating is cause of all pandemics & 3rd biggest cause of globalWarming! Bad Karma! Must cut back/stop eating animals!
Why was this ever a such thing?
Great decision. Salute for the decision.
Why, Shenzhen, China as a country should ban consumption of cats, dogs, bats and other crap they eat for which the whole world is suffering now - Coronavirus
GOOD !!!!! Welcome to the 20th century. Such a 3rd world practice.
Just animals raised as pets, meaning homeless animals are fair game
Welcome to society.
What about bats & rats?
🦇🐀🐁🐦🐢🐍🦗🦂🐒🐕🦊🦔🐿 🤢🤮😷
这很棒。我大深圳就是霸气
About time! One city though in all of China is practically insignificant and barely symbolic
You 👏🏻shouldn’t 👏🏻need👏🏻the👏🏻government 👏🏻to👏🏻tell👏🏻you👏🏻not👏🏻to👏🏻eat👏🏻Lassie👏🏻and 👏🏻Garfield
But eating bats will be okay
FYI just a a few weirdos in certain part of the country eat wild animals alright? Can we stop with the stereotypes? However laws about animals other than the protected ones are missing until now.
It’s not reported in your country, doesn’t mean nobody is torturing animals in your country ok? Not saying it is acceptable to eat dogs. You are ok to eat escargot, because you don’t have one as a pet.
Can't consume disease prone mammals and other species as well. Stop eating bats and shit.
Wow, about time.
Welcome to the moral and humane world. 🐈 🐕 👨👩👦👦
U guys are totally gross.Unbelievable in 2020 still eating those animals.
Self-hating Chinese racists against Chinese!
We talk about China eating fucked up things. What about the good old south... Americans eating rabbits and raccoons etc. but we don’t talk about that now do we. Hypocrites.
Do we believe both China and CNN together?
What took so long ...
Finally👌🤷♀️🐶🐈
Thank you for your sacrifice
This development started long ago. Btw: eating snails, oysters, piglets, calfs, pigeons, rabbits and bambis is real moral high ground.
Bats?
Barbares !!!!! Stop torturing animals....grrrrrt
the most progressive legislation since the prohibition of foot binding ..
Window dressing. Not going to happen
Bats are ok tho...
About bloody time
Why do these people need to eat cats and dogs? Are they that desperate for food? WTF? They can't PREFER to eat a cat or dog can they?
What about bats?!
带节奏 臭傻逼
