I think dogs and cats, they’re smart and it’s not good to eat them. They also friends of human. Most of the wild animals bring virus, so it’s not safe to eat them. I hope this law can spread to other cities. I also think it is not only to eat those animals, it’s not to abuse those animals, because some people hurt cats or dogs.
