近日，农业农村部制订了《国家畜禽遗传资源目录(征求意见稿)》，就畜禽目录向社会公开征求意见。该目录包括可食用的传统畜禽18种，且未将狗列为可食用陆生动物。农业部表示，狗是人类伴侣动物，不将其列入目录是国际通行的做法，也是文明的象征。
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has worked out a draft list of edible terrestrial animals. The draft proposes 18 traditional forms of livestock as edible species and excludes dogs. The ministry said excluding dogs – an essential human companion animal – is a common global practice and is considered a sign of civilization.
马上学：Companion作名词，意为“伙伴”，常见表达有companions in misfortune/adversity(患难之交)。Companion指陪伴他人的人或动物，其近义词partner则指事业中处于合伙关系的人或指游戏、跳舞中的另一方。
