I am not impressed and not optimistic. When a change happens due to change in morality, then the probability of permanent to eternal change is very high. But when a change happens because of incentives then that probability is very low. The progress in human civilization happens from former and former only.
Nevertheless, it's is god-send news for the dogs in China:
The Chinese government has signalled an end to the human consumption of dogs, with the agriculture ministry today releasing a draft policy that would forbid canine meat.
Citing the “progress of human civilisation” as well as growing public concern over animal welfare and prevention of disease transmission from animals to humans, China’s Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Affairs singled out canines as forbidden in a draft “white list” of animals allowed to be raised for meat.
The ministry called dogs a “special companion animal” and one not internationally recognised as livestock.
