我前几天去广州，一顿饭吃得我到现在还是心有余悸。

A few days ago I went to Guangzhou. I still have some lingering fears about a meal I ate there.
What was the matter?
有个客户一个劲要请我们吃野味。他点了穿山甲、蜥蜴、娃娃鱼、猫头鹰，我之前都没好好看过这些动物，更别提吃了。而且，我觉得这样特别残酷，多可爱的动物，怎么忍心吃它们呢？

There was a client who was constantly trying to take us out for game foods. He ordered pangolin, lizard, giant salamander, and owl. I hadn't even seen these animals, let alone eaten them. And, I think eating such cute animals is really cruel. How can people bear to eat them?
广东人爱吃野味是全国有名的一般来讲普通百姓吃大众野味比如兔子猫之类的可是你说的这些可都是受法律保护的野生动物食用它们是违法的但正是因为这样一些有钱人就以此来炫耀经济实力或向来宾显示诚意我觉得这种行为特别不人道实在应该被禁止

Cantonese people are famous all over China for loving to eat game. Generally, ordinary people eat common game, like rabbits, cats and such. But the ones you're talking about were all protected wild animals. Eating them is illegal. But it's just because of this that some rich people use this as a chance to show off their wealth, or to show their clients their sincerity. I think it's really inhumane, and it really should be forbidden.
