Dog meat eating / Oxfam Trailwalker 2023
主持人：Danny Gittings and Ada Wong
On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about eating dog meat after an online advert purporting to offer canine delicacies sparked a furious response from thousands of internet users.
The ad turned out to be a scam that duped potential dog meat purchasers out of more than HK$1 million. But its thrown the spotlight back on eating habits which—despite being banned in Hong Kong for more than 70 years—continue to see some people crave having "human's best friend" on their plate.
And its not just dog meat which is sometimes still on the menu. Its only seven months since a Yau Ma Tei store owner was jailed for illegally selling feline meat.
So just how big is the demand for illicit animal meat in Hong Kong? And is the tide finally beginning to turn with neighbouring Shenzhen—as well as Zhuhai—now banning the consumption of dog and cat meat, while South Korea this week announced plans to move in the same direction as well?
After 9:45, we talk with the organisers of Oxfam Trailwalker 2023, which will start on Friday.
