CHINA'S DOG MEAT POLICY

That this House congratulates the Chinese government on its decision to ban the sale and consumption of dog meat during the Olympic Games this summer; applauds China's willingness to listen to the wishes of the international community; calls on the Chinese government to extend its temporary policy to become a permanent change to the country's approach to animal welfare; and asks the Chinese government to acknowledge the British attitude to dog ownership by recognising that a dog is for life, not just for the Olympics.
