Beijing Takes Dog Off the Menu for Olympics

Concerned that canine dishes might offend animal rights groups and Western Visitors, Beijing has asked restaurants expected to be popular among tourists, to stop serving dog meat "to respect the dining customs of different countries."

Ok, I'm disgusted, anyone else?

Is this suppose to show us how compassionate they are?

Isn't working.

Yikes Matt,

That is totally disgusting. I am sorely tempted not to be involved this year, and that really bothers me. I love the Olympics but this really is beyond the bend.

It is really even difficult to write about this without gagging.
