Do you remember there was a time canines were so insanely popular because it was the year of the dog? The demand for dogs were so high there wasn’t enough supplies to keep every one satisfied who crazed for the 4 legged mammal. It was so insanely popular there were not enough dogs for the restauranteurs to slaughter.
I’m not too sure what the owner did to their dogs once the year is over. Let’s hope it didn’t end up as marinated dog meat in their doggy bak kut teh. But there are some cases where these poor dogs were dump into several places because their owner no longer find any luck in them. Then the next following year, I remember there was another craze but this time it is the craze for hamsters.
Not only it is a lucky animal for those who are ultra superstitious, it is also cute for them to look at. Now it makes me wonder since it is the year of the ox, will these same people resort to buying cows from New Zealand? You know, if they are going to buy some cows, they might as well buy the best and healthy cows that are bred in NZ? Due to its size, the proud owners of these cows can show off to their friends that everything is bullish with their big fat cows?
But let’s hope their are fat in their wallets too lah. It will be easier to get rid of their cows once the usefulness of their luck generating tits expires next year. They don’t have to dump the ox like what they did to the dogs 3 years ago as cows can be easily recycled into Beef Burger.
