China has a long history and it is one of the four greatest ancient civilizations. As we all know, human being is also one kind of animals, but it has evolved into the advanced animal with the ability to remould nature and to think. Totem worship, one traditional custom, had once prevailed all over the world. Since ancient times, Chinese have generally agreed that animals are humans’ tools and properties. Buddhists are kindhearted and against killing the living. As the above mentioned, it is inevitable for animals to be taken as human food, yet many Chinese even regard wild animals as valuable delicious food.
