Youths give city's oldest dog meat eatery a miss

GUANGZHOU - Arguably the most popular dog meat restaurant in the capital of South China's Guangdong province is seeing fewer and fewer youngsters walking through its doors.

But Guangzhou Sunshine Fragrant Meat Restaurant's middle-aged and elderly customers continue to remain largely loyal.

The love for dogs as pets and the arrival of new styles of eateries in Guangzhou are two of the major reasons youngsters are staying away from the 47-year-old restaurant, said Pan Yongxuan, its chairman and general manager.
