猫狗下菜单：台湾成首个禁止吃猫狗的亚洲地区



Taiwan has become the first Asian country to completely ban the eating of dog and cat meat.

台湾成为了亚洲首个完全禁止吃猫狗肉的国家。

New laws passed on Tuesday outlaw 'the consumption, purchase or possession of dog and cat meat' with a maximum fine of 250,000 New Taiwan dollars ($8,000).

周二通过的新法律禁止“消费，购买或者拥有猫狗肉”，违者最高罚款25万新台币（8000美元）。



Hong Kong and China have banned the killing of dogs and cats for sale as meat, but have not specifically outlawed consumption. 

香港和中国也禁止以销售为目的的猫狗杀害，但是没有禁止消费。

The bill also hiked the punishment for those caught killing or abusing animals to a maximum of two years in jail and a fine of 2million Taiwan dollars ($65,000). 

该法案还加大了对杀害和虐待动物的惩罚力度，最高2年监禁和200万新台币的罚款。

One more reason to support Taiwan versus mainland China - who is more civilized now?

又一个支持台湾对抗中国大陆的理由——现在谁更文明？

这真是个好消息。但是将激怒吃狗的中国人。

What sort of people are they who are so barbaric to animals. I shudder every time I see them walking a dog.

他们是什么样子的人吖，对动物那么野蛮。每次看到他们遛狗，我都感到战栗。

I wish the US would get serious about animal abuse as well. especially on factory farms, and I wish we could name and shame the perpetrators as well. And I loved the fines - that's what we need to do is to raise the fines and also prohibit people from Ever owning animals again

我希望美国也认真对待动物虐待行为。特别是工厂化农场里，我也希望我们可以曝光这些施虐者的名字以羞辱他们。我也喜欢罚款这个举措----我们也需要提高罚款并且禁止某些人再次拥有动物。

Such great news to hear. A step in the right direction. We need to treat to all animals better because they are our lifeblood. That includes pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, etc. Thank you Taiwan! 

真是巨大的好消息。正确的举措。我们应该更好的善待所有动物，因为他们是我们的命脉。包括猪牛羊鸡等等。谢谢你台湾！
