On a brighter note
"On Tuesday, the Legislative Yuan approved a landmark amendment to Taiwan's Animal Protection Act, banning the selling, purchasing, consumption or possession of dog or cat meat with offenders facing fines of between NT$50,000 (US$1600) to NT$250,000 (US$8100) and having photos of themselves publicized, according to Focus Taiwan News." "The amendments also stiffen punishment for those who intentionally harm animals to a maximum two years' imprisonment and fines of NT$200,000 to NT$2 million. Repeat offenders can be jailed for one to five years and fined NT$500,000 to NT$5 million." They are the first country in Asia to do so. Thanks Taiwan 🇹🇼 |
