Question

In light of the global COVID-19 pandemic and persistent criticism of the dog meat trade from Chinese citizens, the government of China has reclassified dogs from "livestock" to "companion animals." This means that the 'Yulin Dog-Eating Festival' which takes place in the month of June is no longer legal, and dogs, as a result of their changed classification, can no longer be slaughtered for meat in ways similar to livestock. These legal measures in China are meeting opposition by Chinese citizens who wish to perpetuate the folklore that eating dog meat during the summer months brings luck and good health. Discuss this utilizing a positivist framework. Your discussion should include a clear definition of positivist theory, its main tenets, and how a critic of positivism would challenge this theory of law. Your discussion must make reference to the article by Hartog.
