Dogs are traditional livestock and poultry.

Dogs are companion animals, and it is true that they intend to fast.

On April 8, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the National Catalogue of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources (Draft for Comment) (hereinafter referred to as the Catalogue). The catalogue includes 3 1 species of domestic traditional livestock and poultry and special livestock and poultry, which can be used for commercial purposes such as food.

This 3 1 species does not include dogs. For dogs, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs made a special explanation. With the progress of human civilization and the public's concern and preference for animal protection, dogs have been "specialized" from traditional livestock to companion animals, which are generally not regarded as livestock in the world and should not be included in livestock management in China.

According to the Southern Metropolis Daily, some experts said that dogs are not listed in the Catalogue. According to the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC)'s recent decision on total fasting of terrestrial wild animals, this means that dog meat may be fasted.
