Can you tell me how dogs, cats, birds and horses are treated in China" Many readers have asked us this very question and so to satisfy their curiosity, China Today has asked several Chinese pet owners to talk about their relationships with their pets. Nowadays, Chinese not only like to raise traditional pets such as cats and dogs, but they also enjoy raising lizards end snaker.展开更多
