In South China, espeically in the cantonese cities like Guangzhou, Hongkong, Macau, Shenzhen ,they would say they'd eat everything that has four legs except the dinner table and everything that has two wings except a plane. Many of the dishes served in China may really surprise foreigners. Apart from seafood and animals, insects and worms, flowers and weeds are all made into dishes.
Btw, I never eat dogs or cats. I think it is awfully cruel to do that. I've kept two cats and a dog as my pets--actually they are more like my close friends in my life.:)
Snake soup is among the most treasured soups in China. Then, there is snake gall and blood mixed in liquor that supposedly will brighten your eyes. Some "westernized" Chinese would suggest that if Adam and Eve had been Chinese, we humans would still be in the Garden of Eden because they would have eaten the snake.

Here is the beancurd snake soup.Don't get scared:p. the cantonese people do think it is very yummy.
