Taiwan's parliament has approved a bill banning the slaughter of cats and dogs for human consumption. The bill also prohibits those using a car or motorbike from pulling their pets alongside them on a lead as they travel. Anyone caught breaching the order faces a large fine or up to two years in prison - and having their names and photographs made public.
The measures were introduced to improve the country's animal protection laws. The move on Tuesday is a landmark amendment to Taiwan's Animal Protection Act, and is the first of its kind in Asia.
Taiwan had already banned the sale of meat and fur from cats and dogs in 2001.

People let their cats run wild, but HIT THE CAT and 'OH SHIT': they come blubbing "you hit my cat, blub blub" and you're supposed to apologize for hitting the cat they obviously didn't give enough of a damn about to keep them inside, or are snowflake enough to let them run wild and pray to their gods to protect the cat.
If you let your animal run wild, they may have something happen to them. They might even get EATEN!! Suck it up.
