STREET ANIMALS:
THE PROBLEM WITH STREET ANIMALS IN CHINA AND GUANGZHOU HAS BEEN RECENTLY RECOGNISED AS A BIG PROBLEM. STREET ANIMALS ARE USUALLY FERAL CATS AND DOGS. IN 2015 IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THE CHINESE WILL EAT 10-20 MILLION DOGS. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE, ALTHOUGH SOME PLACES ARE TRYING TO MINIMISE THE AMOUNT OF DOGS AND CATS ON THE STREET. ONE ORGANISATION IS TAKING THE DOGS THAT THEY FIND ON THE STREET AND GIVING THEM A NEW LIFE. THE ORGANISATION FIRST QUARANTINES THE DOG AND THEN VACCINATES IT. IN RETALIATION TO THE DEBATE MANY CHINESE PEOPLE HAVE PUT THE ARGUMENT UP OF WHY WE EAT COW, PIG ETC. CHINESE PEOPLE DON’T KILL AND THEN EAT THERE PETS BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE INHUMANE. THEY KILL FERAL DOGS INSTEAD. MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THE CHINESE STARTED TO GET DOG A LONG TIME AGO BECAUSE THEY HAD NO MONEY TO EAT PROPER FOOD.
CLOTHING:
THE CLOTHES IN CHINA ARE VERY SIMILAR TO AUSTRALIA. THE PEOPLE OF GUANGZHOU WEAR EVERYDAY AVERAGE CLOTHES TO WORK. LIKE US ON OCCASIONS THEY WILL GET DRESSED UP. THE DRESS STYLE, COLOUR, SHAPE, DESIGN, DECORATION DEPENDS ON THE DYNASTY AT THAT TIME.
