Restaurant Chinois... - Protection des animaux

A Vancouver au Canada il y en a, en Californie aussi et au Québec 7 restaurants chinois se sont déjà fait prendre à vendre de la viande de chat etc, etc.,

. RAINING CATS AND DOGS ON VANCOUVER MENUS
While many Asian countries are taking steps to ban the eating of cats and dogs, it's open season in the Lower Mainland. In Vancouver, it's perfectly legal to slaughter a cat or a dog for dinner. "Any animal, in fact can be eaten by anyone," John Vanderhoven, the Director of the Vancouver SPCA informed The Asian Pacific Post recently, "so long as it is done humanely. Animal laws only deal with the humane treatment of animals." That policy, however, has angered many in the city, including Mayor Phillip Owen's office. "As far as the mayor is concerned," stated an infuriated Janet Fraser, executive assistant to Mayor Philip Owen, "eating cats and dogs is absolutely unacceptable. It will never be allowed in Vancouver." "I can't understand the SPCA," bristled Fraser. "Saving pets is what they are all about." "That seething discontent, however, is unlikely to prevent anyone from doing what is acceptable under the law. For hundreds of years cats and dogs have been eaten by Asians. In traditional Chinese medicine, dogs are highly prized for their healing value. According to Dr. Martin Kwok, of the Richmond Alternative Medical Clinic, people from China's Canton province consider yellow colored dogs to be excellent for digestion and aiding kidney function. They are supposedly also good for boosting energy levels, and consequently are often consumed over winter. For Maria Matheson, who owns a Dalmatian pup, the health aspect of cat or dog meat is difficult to digest. She was sickened by the thought of anyone eating a cat or dog. "It's like cannibalism yo me. It'd be like eating your brother or sister." Unlike cannibalism, however, eating a cat or dog is not a criminal offence. As far as the Vancouver Police is concerned, its not an incident that is deserving of their attention. "The criminal code deals with people not animals," stated Janice Williams, assistant to Constable Anne Drennan of the Vancouver Police Department. "If it's nor protected under the criminal code, then it's not in our jurisdiction. Regulation of food consumption does, however, fall into the jurisdiction of the Richmond Vancouver health board. Like the police, and the SPCA, the health board also does not see a problem with eating cats and dogs. "We have no restrictions on the killing of cats and dogs for personal consumption," explains Kelvin Hugo, the Chief Health Inspector of Richmond, "no more than we do for people going to hunt a deer, a moose, or a bunny rabbit in the backyard." "The only stickler is in the meat inspection area," he continued. "In Canada, all meat has to be processed through registered plants. Because cats and dogs are nor considered as food animals, they cannot be processed and therefore sold in shops." The list of food animals currently butchered in Canada is growing. In the recent past, ostrich meat. has been added to the list, and currently a new bid for kangaroo meat is being considered. Whether household pets find their way into grocery stores depends on the persuasiveness of lobby efforts. Some people found that thought enticing. Randy Doncaster, the Manager of the Cat and Fiddle Neighborhood Pub in Coquitlam, stated that he would try the meat if given the opportunity. "I personally wouldn't have anything against eating a cat or dog if it was properly cooked. It's just meat like everything else, like grouse, or rabbit. I wouldn't have a problem if it was cooked up in shish-kabob style."

DOGMEAT RESTAURANTS DISCOVERED IN CALIFORNIA !
by Rudy Allen

Some Korean restaurants in Orange County and Los Angeles are advertising DOG STEW openly, although it is illegal to serve dogmeat in the state of California. Yet law enforcement agencies are not enforcing the existing law.
Part of the problem is that "Boshintang" (dog stew) is advertised only in the Korean language. A Korean employee involved in a Channel 9 expose originally translated this for me; the translation has been verified by two other Korean animal sympathizers. Nevertheless, authorities either dismiss it, or refuse to look into the matter, passing it on to yet another agency that refuses to do anything about it. Orange County Health official Mr. Saba supposedly inspected one restaurant and reported finding nothing to indicate that dog was being served. When questioned as to exactly what he was looking for, he replied, "a carcass." It had to be pointed out to this government employed health official that McDonalds (for instance) does not have cow carcasses in their kitchens! He retorted that he "checked the meat receipts."
Once again, ludicrous! Since serving, or providing dogmeat for the intention of consumption, is illegal in California, who is going to give a receipt?
Finally, Saba maintained that his Korean investigator substantiated that the sign in front of the restaurant does NOT say "dogstew." When it was suggested that he might ask two different Koreans (at different times) to translate, he said he'd have to get back to me. He never did.
THE LAW
Penal Code 598b clearly states "Every person is guilty of a misdemeanor who possesses, imports into, or exports from, this state, sells, buys, gives away, or accepts any carcass or part of any carcass of any animal traditionally or commonly kept as a pet or companion animal with the intent of using or having another person use any part of that carcass for food." The law goes on to state that
it is not to be construed to apply to livestock or poultry. Nevertheless, L.A. S.P.C.A. officer David Havard confesses: "We've had animals picked up by individuals in the past years that use these animals for food consumption."
Obviously if an officer for the Society for the Prevention of CRUELTY to Animals KNOWINGLY condones the adopting of animals to these individuals, any chance of help from this group is hopeless! Worse yet, how many people who give up a pet to the shelters have any idea that their animal may wind up as stew? "The biggest problem we have in enforcing the law," Havard continues, "is determining the definition of companion animal." If the SPCA doesn't know that dogs and cats are companion animals, who would? The police contend that they do not have the time to investigate animal abuse prevention cases, and pass the hat to Animal Regulation. The fact that Orange County
Animal Regulation's answering machine offers Vietnamese callers a separate line to dial is disturbing as well, since it indicates that they service a sizeable Vietnamese clientele. Dogmeat Stew (Thit Cho) happens to be a very popular delicacy in Vietnam! Coincidentally, in 1996, head of L.A. Animal Regulation, Gary Olson, admitted that an astonishing 3000 seized animals were unaccountable (neither adopted nor euthanized) at the end of that year!
