Dog meat in China

When I was a kid, the story was that China was in such bad shape that people were eating dogs. Maybe this story was just that, a story. The BBC quotes the executive editor of the China Dialogue environmental blog, "Although meat eating has increased in China over the past 30 years as the country becomes more affluent, dog meat is really not widely available."

Another indication of the story: Yulin, in Guangxi province in southern China, has an annual Dog Festival, the main feature of which is the cooking and eating of 10,000 dogs.
