我是在广东长大的，我身边没有一个人吃猫，甚至都没听说过有人吃。很多广东网友在新浪微博也这么回复中外对话，说吃猫绝对不是普遍现象，而且越来越少。

文章中有一位食客接受采访时说他们的下一代因为从小爱护小动物，以后是不会吃猫狗的。从平时的观察看来，确实是这样。上一代的人经过艰苦岁月，别说动物了，三年自然灾害和文革的时候，吃的那些耸人听闻的“东西”，有兴趣的朋友可以自己google一下。他们和动物的关系自然是不可能是西方人所说的“伴侣”、“朋友”。

这个问题对中国人的形象很不好，就像日本捕鲸一样。但是相比日本人对鲸鱼肉根深蒂固的传统，中国的情况却并不如想象中的那么严重。很感谢这些文章和纪录片的宣传，我相信再过10年20年，这些猫狗的肉就几乎没有市场了。

I grew up in Guangdong, no one I know eats cats nor have they even heard of it. Many Guangdong internet users have also replied to chinadialogue on the Sina microblog, saying that eating cats is not a common phenomenon, and is becoming less so.

In the article, one of diners interviewed said that because the next generation has loved animals since they were young, in the future they won't eat cats and dogs. From everyday observation, that is exactly how it seems. With the bitter sufferings the last generation experienced, don't even talk about animals. During the three years of natural disasters and the cultural revolution, the shocking "things" they ate...interested people can google it for themselves. Their relationship with animals obviously is not like the how the Westerners call them "companion" or "friend."

This gives Chinese people a bad image, just like the Japanese and whaling. But compared with the Japaneses deep-rooted tradition with whale meat, in China's situation, it is not as serious as people think. I am thankful the publicity of these kinds of articles and videos. I believe that in 10, 20 years, cat and dog meat will have no market.

以珍稀鱼类为保护目标的诉求在强大的经济开发面前，显得太无力了。重庆地区的长江水电工程给所带来的移民、水污染、地质灾害等问题和直接损失都不能让他们停止水电开发的脚步，仅凭濒危鱼类无法改变现在的局面，只能另出奇兵。但奇兵在哪里？

In front of the enormous mission of economic development, the appeal for saving the rare fish species seems so strengthless. In the area of Chongqing, there are many problems caused by the hydra power construction along Yangtze River, such as project resettlement, water pollution, geological disasters. Even all these issues cannot prevent them from damming the river, the engendered fish species cannot be the magic bargain chip. We have to play the trump card, but what is it?

Gaidee你好，感谢你指出翻译存在问题。“不浪费就不会缺乏”会是一个更好的题目。

Hi Gaidee, thanks for pointing out that the interpretation could be confusing. "不浪费就不会缺乏“ should be a better title.
