China reclassifies dogs as pets, not livestock, in post-virus regulatory push
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China has drawn up new guidelines to reclassify dogs as pets rather than livestock, the agriculture ministry said, part of a response to the coronavirus outbreak that the Humane Society called a potential “game changer” in animal welfare.

Though dog meat remains a delicacy in many regions, the Ministry of Agriculture said in a notice published on Wednesday that dogs would no longer be considered as livestock. It uses that designation for animals that can be bred to provide food, milk, fur, fibre and medicine, or to serve the needs of sports or the military.
“As far as dogs are concerned, along with the progress of human civilisation and the public concern and love for animal protection, dogs have been ‘specialised’ to become companion animals, and internationally are not considered to be livestock, and they will not be regulated as livestock in China,” it said.
The coronavirus is widely believed to have originated in horseshoe bats, and could have been passed onto humans by intermediary species on sale in the markets of the city of Wuhan, where the pathogen was first identified.
China subsequently banned the breeding, trading and consumption of wildlife, and revoked all existing licenses. It has also promised to revise legislation to make the ban permanent.
The draft guidelines published on Wednesday, which have been opened to the public for consultation, listed 18 traditional livestock species - including cattle, pigs, poultry and camels.
It also added 13 “special” species that would also be exempt from wild animal trading restrictions, including reindeer, alpaca, pheasants, ostriches and foxes.
Dog consumption has become increasingly unpopular in China, and the southern city of Shenzhen became the first to ban it last month.
However, the Humane Society International, an animal welfare group, estimated that around 10 million dogs a year are still killed in China for meat, including stolen pets. The city of Yulin in the region of Guangxi holds an annual dog meat festival in June.
“This draft proposal could signal a game-changer moment for animal protection in China,” said Wendy Higgins, a Humane Society International spokeswoman.

Don't know this fellow at all.
But his actual statements sounded safe and surprisingly PC given the reactions.
Feels like they're trying to force an issue here or am I missing something?

it only matters to us
If you don’t see the issue with his statements I don’t even know where to start bruh....sheesh
Looks like they are side lining Fauci for Birx and the surgeon general

At the same time whites were calling it a hoax. Our response was in no way unique.

Since I can’t get a test when I want to I don’t trust any of this stuff

No quote? Fine.
They already claimed POC were dying at higher rates due to underlying health issues.
CDC stats show that POC do have higher cases of the underlying health issues mentioned.
They've been advising against alcohol, tobacco, and drug use since the beginning before race was publicly considered.
Those habits were always said to only compound problems with the virus.
Given all that, what I heard was a person speaking against those habits across the board.
Then emphasizing it for the more at-risk group that medical data appears to show.
So I didn't hear "black community is in this situation because of tobacco and alcohol use" with that clip.
But people can interpret things however they will.
