China's dog meat festival opens despite ban rumours

Click HERE

-Think of the role of tradition on business, identity

-South (and North?) Korea is another country where its people are known to eat dog meat.

-compare with similarly dubious traditions such as: eating shark's fin, bull fights, cock-fighting...

-Note argument by analogy/comparison:
"This is a part of local culture. You shouldn't force people to make choices they don't want to make, the way you wouldn't force someone to be a Christian or a Buddhist or a Muslim. It's people's own choice what they eat."

Qn:
1. How important is it for people in your society to retain a sense of tradition?
(Cam. 2010)
2. To what extent are the rights of animals protected in your society? (Cam. 2012)
