Eating Dogs and Cats

China plans to end thousands of years of culinary tradition by taking dogs and cat meat off its menu. A law being drafted against animal abuse—China's first—calls for the country's thousands of dog butchers and dog meat restaurants to be closed down.

Perek Shira is a book of songs where creation sings to God from a portion of the 24 books in Torah. For example the heavens sing a sentence from the Tihilim/Psalms, The heavens relate the respect of God and the work of Your hands is told to the Rachiam/Orbits.

After going through the the elements, the nature, the animals of the earth and the birds in the sky, the fly and the whale each with their special wisdom, Perek Shira ends with the cat and the dog. The cat says, All the souls praise God, Halaluya; the dog says, Come and bow down, prostrate yourself on your knees before God who made us.

Cats and dogs seems to be the closest to the human being, cats resembling woman purring seductively while men like dogs are always trying to get a leg up. In the west people live with their dogs and cats in the house, give them names medical care and mourn their death; in the east they eat them.

These two extremes of east and west both needs to moderate; according to the Cabala all life is holy, but the human being takes precedent.
