==Vietnamese Refugees Welcomed in America==
From the week of April 30, 1975 onward throughout the 1990s, many Vietnamese [[refugee]]s were welcomed by the [[USA]] to "[[vote with your feet|vote with their feet]]" (see [[strategic relocation]]) to escape the horrors and [[mass murder]] of the Communists. Many relocated to [[Long Beach]], [[San Jose]], [[Houston]] and [[Minneapolis]]. See [[Boat people]].

In 2018, ''The Independent'' declared:
{{Cquote|Officials in Vietnam's capital are urging residents to avoid eating dog meat, as part of a move to eradicate rabies.
Hanoi's vice mayor Nguyen Van Suu also said that slaughtering dogs and cats for their meat was disturbing to foreigners and would "negatively impact the image of a civilized and modern capital."
His message was published on the city's website.
Suu also instructed local governments to raise awareness of the risk of rabies when consuming dog and cat meat.
His move is part of an effort to stamp out rabies in Vietnam by 2021. The move is a contentious one as many Vietnamese believe that eating dog meat increases stamina and the dish is thought of as a delicacy.
There are 493,000 dogs and cats in Hanoi, of which 10% are raised for commercial purposes, including for their meat.<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/vietnam-dog-meat-ban-hanoi-rabies-risk-asia-dog-cat-meat-rabies-a8533821.html Vietnam capital Hanoi tells citizens to stop eating dog meat due to rabies risk] by Zamira Rahim, ''The Independent'', 12 September 2018</ref>}}
