This is a great step forward…but we'll see how far it goes…

Chinese officials have placed a ban on shark fin soup at all state banquets. While this sounds great for a dwindling shark population, there are a few forks in the way.

First, the new practice will take three years to fully implement….are their meals placed THAT far in advance???

After a chicken carcass tested positive for avian flu, over 17,000 chickens at a poultry market have been killed, said the Hong Kong government.

They declared that specific poultry market an infected place.

Local farmers are going to be prevented from sending any chickens to the market for 21 days.

The government said that they're working to find the source of the H5N1 avian influenza virus but they're currently unsure if it started at a local farm or was imported.

Wherever it started, let's hope they stop it before it spreads.

No one needs another pandemic scare like pretty much every year.

When you think of animal rights you don't immediately scream out "The Far East!" but Hong Kong is very different from some other nearby societies.

In Hong Kong 350 dog owners gathered to teach their dogs new tricks on the 90th anniversary of the SPCA.

Check out some dog loving from the East in the above video.
