Poll: After watching this horrific video about the cruel treatment of cats and dogs in China, will you boycott the Beijing Olympics?

==============

 Beijing, July 11 (PTI) Restaurants and hotels in the Chinese capital
have been asked to take dog meat off the menu during Olympics and
Paralympics due to concerns that the canine dishes might be offensive
to Westerners and animal rights activists.

"Gourmets with a special predilection for dog meat will be
disappointed if they come to the Chinese capital in the coming two
months," a Beijing Tourism Bureau official said.

The Beijing Catering Trade Association (BETA) has issued a circular
forbidding all the 112-designated restaurants from providing dog meat
dishes during Olympics and strongly advised other establishments to
suspend serving the canine delicacy until September.

"If a customer orders dog meat, the restaurant staff should patiently
suggest another entree," Xiong Yumei, the Bureaus Vice-Director, was
quoted as saying by official Xinhua news agency. "Conflicts should be
avoided." Canine dishes are popular among the Korean community in
Beijing, as also in Yunnan and Guizhou restaurants.
