A city in China which turned out to be Shenzen has banned the consumption of dog and cat meat.
The city announced that this new law will come into effect on May 1, banning the killing of the animals.
The law reportedly also covered wild animals
Anyone caught breeding, eating or selling animals such as snakes and lizards could be fined up to 150,000 yuan about $21,000.
Animal rights activists for decades have been urging the Chinese Government to clamp down on the eating of pets.
And some of these animals are suspected to be the vectors of viral diseases transferred to man.
