Fascinating Facts About Dogs
In China, it is famously said that every four-legged creature is eaten — except tables and chairs

Tasmia went for a walk with her mother. She was eagerly waiting for Sunday because the cold had subsided a bit. Her mother had been going for a walk for four or five days. She went to a nearby park for two or three days and went to a park with a tank for two days. In this park, the house was on the same ground. There were no swings etc. There was a third park a little further away. It is called Ladies Park. There were three or four types of swings there, that too for free. Small children, women and girls used to go there.
Tasmia had also prepared her friends Tayyaba, Noor and Aqsa. The Ladies Park was built two and a half years ago. There were flower beds and colorful flowers there. A shop was also built for refreshments. After eight o'clock, six-month courses were organized to make the girls skilled.
The funny thing is that Tveta also gave her a scholarship.
And a certificate was also given.
That day, Tasmia woke up earlier than usual. After prayers, she went to the park with her mother, less for a walk and more for the swings. Tayyaba, Noor, and Aqsa also came on time. But contrary to expectations, they came early. Her father was very surprised and said, “Brother, so many days of preparation and so early return. Is that okay? Was the park closed?”
No, father, the park was open. There were some ladies and small children, but there were also a dozen dogs and their children roaming around.
It seems that they also came for that. What did they say? Dogs and children are also watchmen there. When the park was inaugurated two and a half years ago, I was also there by chance. Then I went there once. The flower beds, benches to sit on, and the lights on the trees were presenting a strange scene.
Papa, that was old Pakistan, now it is new Pakistan, now the swings there are rusty, look at my clothes, they are rusty, after today, our repentance, Sana, the park remains open all day, there is no watchman, no security, there are countless cigarette butts, lit matchsticks, cigarettes, empty matchboxes, salt here and there, wrappers of letter biscuits and that's it.
Uncle, we saw many dogs on the way. I don't know where so many dogs came from. Aqsa said, "Yes, dogs are Allah's creation. But they cause a lot of harm. In Sindh, many wild dogs bit many people and they died. There was no vaccine available there. Papa, I have heard that dogs are eaten with gusto in China." Tasmia said. "Hey, hey, hey, Tasmia, think about such a dirty animal and eating it... No, no, my heart doesn't agree."
What daughter Tasmia said is true, many animals are eaten in China, including dogs…
“Uncle, do they also eat pigs or pigs?”
Noor said.
Brother, it is well known about China that apart from tables and chairs, every four-legged object is eaten, including insects, red begs, scorpions, etc. Uncle, is this true? Noor asked in surprise.
Yes, brother! Every nation has its own traditions in terms of food and drink. People eat different types of food and dishes, but there are some foods in the world that are unpleasant and disgusting to some. But China is a country where there is no compromise in terms of food and drink. Every animal on earth is eaten. In China's big market, every type of meat is sold, including dates, scorpions, all types of insects, but also dragons, rats, snakes, dogs, pigs, all types of fish, and crocodile meat is also sold.
But among all of them, eating dog meat is considered a desirable food.
On June 21, a festival called "Dog Festival" is celebrated in China at the beginning of summer. People in southern China are very fond of dog meat. About ten thousand dogs are slaughtered in this month. Uncle, no one stops them. Tayyaba said about eating one dog and the other meat. The World Animal Protection Organization has raised its voice many times, but they say that this has been our tradition for centuries and we cannot abandon it.
From that time till today, dogs are kept in China for three purposes: for guarding, for hunting and for food. When the people of southern China came to northern China, they brought their traditions with them, and thus dog meat began to be liked throughout China. And for centuries, it has also been a custom to bury dogs alive in the grave with the dead because dogs are good friends to them.
Papa, they should make an agreement with Pakistan, they will get such strong dogs here, they will also get them cheaply and people will be saved from slaughter here…․ No, for a few centuries it has been liked in America, Africa and Europe. It has been a favorite food of non-Muslims since the third century. Then, since 1996, it has been sold in hotels in Switzerland and is still being sold successfully. Apart from this, it is also eaten with great enthusiasm in North Korea, South Korea and Vietnam. In China alone, 15 million dogs are slaughtered and eaten annually. "Thank you, uncle, we got very good and useful information. Let's not go for a walk, but for information," said Aqsa.
