O.K. Beth is the closest here. The St. Bernard is now no longer used in mountain rescue in Switzerland, but still has a revered status there. The Swiss had been exporting some of these animals for help with other countries rescue services. Some of these dogs appear to have found their way into Chinese breeding stations for use as food. The St. Bernard is seen as a culinary delicacy in China - whereby the animal is tortured before being killed, apparently to raise the quality of the meat. The assumption is that some animals had been bought from Switzerland under false premises. The Swiss government came under extreme pressure from animal rights groups within Switzerland to take action - and, being a government which actually listens to public opinion took the actions referred to in the question. Over to you Beth.

Both Stan and Uber have gone awol since their thread finished.[/QUOTE] I know that Stan is out of the country at the moment. He is due back tomorrow but not in time to come to the match. Wishful thinking?
I like your line of thought Nines but, unfortunately, no... And a good try Roller, but not Ally Pally... A couple of clues are they are, or in the case of one, were on the outer fringes of London and rather ornate buildings...
