Warner's "First Sister" Ella Koon was filming the MV for her new song in Taipei. Ella personally stood next to a flipped car suspended 30 meters high. She waited patiently at a close distance for the car to fall from the sky. Ella exclaimed with a smile: "Couldn't believe it was so mind-blowing!"

Also, Ella and Taiwanese actor Tang Guozhong were shooting a kiss scene inside a car. Although the two did not know each other prior to the shoot, Ella still got into character instantly as soon as the cameras rolled. They completed all the intimate scenes in one take. Asked if she's worried her boyfriend may get jealous? Ella reassured her boyfriend: "This is part of my job. I'm a professional artist and I believe my boyfriend won't be worried."

Ella Koon: I Have 'Man Disease'

Last year Ella Koon joined Warner Music and has been heavily promoted to become the 'First Sister' at the company. Ella launched her first plug So In Love since joining Warner and invited Khalil Fong and FAMA's C-Kwan to help her produce the song. When speaking of her new song, Ella is pleased to have her career and love life going smoothly. She revealed her new company customized this song for her. "The song is about a female just like me, busy with her career, but still wishes to be in love. My company feels I'm full of love and that the market is really receptive to love songs."

Ella has already been dating her doctor boyfriend for over 4 years and is still in a stabled relationship. Ella frankly expressed she enjoys taking care of her partner more than being taken care of. She claimed she's more like the boyfriend: "I am not a clingy girlfriend. Actually I think I'm more like the boyfriend rather than the girlfriend. I don't check my boyfriend's phone and usually girlfriends complain that their boyfriends don't call them enough, but I don't do that. I'm so busy, I practically forget to carry my phone around with me." Reporters teased she's not a typical 'HK Girl'. Ella refuted: "I am a HK girl! My native language is Cantonese, HK is my home. ('HK Girls' are usually very self-absorbed and have princess disease!) Well I don't have princess disease, but I think I possibly do have 'man disease', haha!"

Ella studied in Europe before and the public has always regarded her as a Western girl, but when speaking of marriage, she is very traditional. Ella said: "When I get married in the future, it's going to be extremely simple. The Chinese wedding dress and tea ceremony are must haves. Even if I have to wear a golden pig necklace with my wedding dress, I can accept it because I personally love Chinese culture. I'm proud to be Chinese." But Ella is currently advancing in her career, thus she does not have plans for marriage yet. she hopes to focus on her career first.

Myolie Wu Dares Not to Eat with the Opposite Sex

Yesterday Myolie Wu attended The 11th More Beauty Product Awards Ceremony with Joey Meng and Ella Koon as guest award presenters. Clearly desperate to be in a relationship, Myolie expressed she hopes to grow her hair out again, she said: "Longer hair is better. This year my goal is to be more feminine. (Want peach blossom fate?) Let nature take its course. The market is bigger when you are more feminine."

The single Myolie is frequently getting rumors, such as with the Mainland Siu Sang Bruce Yu. She said: "I think he's quite handsome, but we are just colleagues." Myolie sighed expressing she fears people will have their mind set on one person and she won't have any choice, therefore she's afraid to eat out with the opposite sex. Reporters mentioned there are many handsome guys in Mainland? She laughed: "Yes, but they are just colleagues. Also, I have to get pass you all (reporters) first." She believes the most important is to have things in common and being able to communicate. If she just starts a relationship so easily, she won't know how it will end, but she does not have a fear of suffering a loss.

Earlier she and ex-boyfriend Bosco Wong attended the same event in Shanghai, but avoided one another. Myolie denied: "We were working together, but didn't have the opportunity to meet. We often bump into each other at TVB, just nobody has seen them. If there is a chance to greet him, I would do so."

It was reported TVB made arrangements for their FaDans to accompany guests to drink in Shenzhen? Myolie joked: "Why didn't they ask me to go? Shenzhen isn't bad, is that true?" She strongly supported that TVB is a healthy company, they will not do such thing. "If TVB does make arrangements, I am not worried, there will definitely be an assistant to accompany us. I never had such experience, and the situation may not be what everyone thinks it is. Perhaps its just social networking, normal social interactions."

Ella Koon Comes from Wealthy Background

Recently Ella Koon reportedly has a wealthy father and she moved into a luxury home that cost her a monthly rent of HK$150,000. Ella admitted her family owns a jewelry business, but expressed her greatest premise is to not affect her family, therefore she does not usually mention her family. Although she comes from a wealthy family background, Ella still hopes to rely on her own hard work to earn and save money to buy a home. She expressed each month, she will be a responsible daughter and give her family 5 figures of housekeeping money. Also, she denied her monthly rent is HK$150,000 and was unwilling to disclose the actual rent, but she did admit rent is higher than before. Ella is thankful to have the support of her new company, otherwise she would not have found such a good home. Ella said she is not cohabiting with her boyfriend in the new home.

Ella Koon Plans on Moving After Her Dog gets Stabbed Intentionally

Ella Koon's 3 year old sheltie, Barney, was stabbed in the stomach with a sharp object at the garden outside her home last Friday. Yesterday Ella and William Chan attended the FUJIFILM Instax Mini 8 event. When speaking of the awful intentional attack on her dog, Ella said angrily: "Barney was stabbed on his left side. The doctor said, luckily the wound was at the ribs, otherwise his intestines could have pierced through the intestines and stomach. Barney could have died on the spot. His wound was over ten inches long and he got several stitches. He's like Frankenstein now, blood was still gushing out from his wound, it's terrifying!"

Ella reveals 2 years ago, she had another dog who got white oil thrown on his eye. She believes its the same person doing these things to her dogs. When asked if it could be an enemy of hers? She said: "No, perhaps someone hates dogs. When strangers walk by, they would start barking, but no one had complained before. Because the big garden is a public area, basically there is no neighbors and no one lives there." Ella expressed she will discuss with her family first on whether she should call the police, but she does plan to move. "I will try to move out of there as soon as possible. I'm out in the open and the attacker is hidden, I won't know when they'll try to hurt my pets again."

Yesterday it was William's 27th birthday and tomorrow is his girlfriend Charlene Choi's (Ah Sa) 30th birthday , he expressed he already had a seafood feast to celebrate their birthdays. His mother and sister-in-law was there too. William expressed: "Because I know my mom and sister-in-law have the same birthday." Does his mom like Ah Sa? He did not answer, but he said they had a great time at the dinner. His mother didn't rush them to get marry, nor have they thought about marriage yet. William reveals he hasn't received a birthday gift from Ah Sa yet and his birthday wish is to have work every day and earn more money.

Ah Sa wrote on Weibo: "I entered the industry at age 17, today I'm already 30. Being 30 isn't considered anything, it is just the beginning. I'm still young and there are still a lot out there waiting for me. Release the horses over!"

Ella Denies Reconciling With Ron Ng

Dressed in a back-revealing dress, Ella responded to the recent rumors that she and ex-lover Ron Ng reconciled. She denied: "We haven't been in touch for a long time." Ever since the rumor with Ron started again, Ella started taking her boyfriend out with her everywhere she went, is it because she wants to prove to everyone the rumor isn't true and reassure her boyfriend? Ella expressed she already mentioned it to her boyfriend. She thinks of her boyfriend as her best friend, so she tells him everything. Does her boyfriend understand? She believed her boyfriend understands and won't be affected by these gossip news. When asked if she deleted Ron's phone number already? Ella appeared awkward and said: "I just signed with a new company, work comes first. (Any chance of reconciling?) Perhaps its because I have a series out now, so just think of this as promotions. (Do you mind to collaborate with Ron again in a series?) My company will arrange it. I will have to look at the script and the role first. (If there are kiss scenes with Ron, will you tell your boyfriend about it?) Worry about it when the time comes. My company will make the decisions. I already gave my lips to Warner."

Sire Ma appeared at the event as Watsons Health's spokesperson. She frankly expressed she loves Chinese beauty solutions. She expressed she just got back to HK from her vacation and hasn't been following the news that dozens in HK are dying due to getting cosmetic shots. She said she never got botox before.

Ella Koon Falls for TV Series, Positively Waiting for Another Opportunity

Recently Ella Koon signed with Warner Music, a member of HKRIA's Big 4 record labels. Also, her participation in TVB series Highs and Lows is currently broadcasting. It turns out, developing in both music and television was the right approach that led to better results. Unfortunately, due to Warner and TVB's relationship, this may be Ella's 'final' appearance in a TVB series. Ella faces this issue with a positive and energetic attitude. She had been through several crisis in the 8 years since she debuted, but she frankly expressed she will face everything with courage.

In the past, it was rumored she brings back different foreign nationality male friends to party at her house, which caused her to feel discouraged in the entertainment circle. She said: "At the time, I was really unhappy. I put in so much effort into my music, but I got nothing good in return. It had an impact on my individual character. At the time, many jobs canceled on me due to the negative reports, the endorsements got someone else to replace me, and of course my income dropped along with it. Back then, I collapsed from all those setbacks."

Fortunately after two months of down time, Ella was able to regain her self-confidence after her successful performance on TVB's music show The Voice for the English song Endless Love. Her performance was well acclaimed and people finally recognized her singing skills. Ella said: "The news reports finally said I had singing skills. It was then I began to understand I can no longer let things that I cannot control affect my emotions and feel unhappy about them. As long as I try my best and work hard, someone will appreciate it."

In Highs and Lows, Ella has a lot of action scenes, she said: "There are a lot of action scenes, I have to run and chase. I even had to open fire with a real gun, just the bullets were fake. Prior to shooting those scenes, I had training and I got a hang of it easily. Also, there are a lot of car chasing scenes, which got me very nervous. However, the whole process felt satisfying. I have fallen in love with television series." Although she doesn't know when she'll be able to shoot another series, Ella is confident the issues can be resolved and believed there is nothing impossible in this world.

Ella Koon & Jason Chan: What Is Happiness To Them

What is happiness? For ME, I want to win the lottery the most...but how will I invest the money after I win? How will I split the money? Just thinking about it can get complicated!

How about Ella Koon? A lot simpler, holding hands with her Western doctor boyfriend, "just strolling the park is already happiness." Ella just signed with a new company and isn't ready to give up her boyfriend just because of her career. She sure has guts!

Rising star, Jason Chan feels achievements in his career is happiness, "I'm already 34!" As a man, that is what's call 'Man'.

Ella and Jason are both from UK, one studied in Birmingham and the other grew up there. It turns out the two have known each other for years, but never collaborated before and their first crossover is this photo shoot and interview with ME!. Dressed in colorful winter outfits and in joyous moods, there is more and more 'feel' in the two. The taste of happiness just naturally arises.

I Don't Want To Cohabit

Recently, Ella has fallen in love with horseback riding. She loves, loves, loves it. She goes for horseback rising lessons 3 times a week, that's over 20 times in a month. She exclaimed: "Crazy! I don't even know how I got this interest?!" On the day of the photo shoot, she came in dressed completely like a jockey and was fully prepared to rush over to get on a horse in Tuen Mun after work, "When I like something, I can get obsessed with it. I really want to raise a horse, so I could ride it." Ella has that much interest [in horses]? Does her boyfriend accompany her? "I have always loved animals. He's not as interested and isn't learning."

She just signed a new contract and has become Warner's Big Sister.... "Wah! I am totally not the Big Sister, I don't dare to take that title."

Ella is physically active and has to work, how does she balance all that with her relationship? I personally think it is a little overbearing!

Ella got straight to the point, "We don't have to perform Kung Fu. Always seeing and checking each other, then the relationship must not be going very well. I really enjoy the fact that we both have personal space. My schedule is never stable working in this industry. Also, whenever I have thoughts, I like to play the guitar early in the morning, it can get really annoying if you're in the house with me, so we don't live together. I'm just that traditional, nobody believes it."

With her career charging forward, is Ella worried she may gain one, but lose the other? "I don't have to be that brave and give up love for my career right?! He isn't just my boyfriend, he's my soul mate."

Ella frankly expressed career and love can coexist, the first criteria is to open up! She said: "A relationship can support me to do other things. I am now seeking a peaceful life, just take strolls at the park is already happiness. Just eating a bowl of plain white rice is happiness. I am a career-oriented woman, family is in second place and love is just in third place."

Dislikes Women Partying

Regarding Jason, we can just say he looks familiar, but its hard to point him out. Actually Jason started off as a temporary actor (extra), he was Bosco Wong's stuntman for 8 years before he was given a role in a sitcom.

Grew up in the UK, Jason's father owned a restaurant in London and because Jason's mother was a huge fan of Andy Lau, he was influenced into following HK entertainment since youth. After graduation, he worked two years in hospital management. Seeing Daniel Wu and Wang Lee Hom, the 'studied overseas boys' having such good development in showbiz, he began having dreams of becoming a star.

"I have confidence in my looks." He does have a nice voice and is quite handsome, but handsome doesn't mean he's at an advantage, he still had to suffer. "When I first entered TVB, my monthly salary wasn't even HK$5000. With rent and only a few thousand of monthly income, I only had $53.8 left in my bank account. The only option I had was to ask my family for assistance, they helped me out for a year." A grown man asking his family for money, that is truly difficult to bear.

Finally someone who recognized Jason's talents came along, he started hosting on TVB Pearl channel and then was recruited by Virgina Lok into the drama department. From there, his career finally started getting somewhere.

As far as Jason's love life, it's a blank piece of paper. He has dated three times, two of the relationships were with British women, but because of the cultural differences, the relationships didn't get anywhere. "Our main issue was that she's always out partying. I really don't like women going out to party."

In the future, will he choose a foreign girlfriend again? "It has nothing to do with ethnicity, just as long as we match. I'm still single now and I know I'm behind, I'm already 34, but my career really is the priority now."

The public sees Jason as the next 'Best Deal' (seun poon) after Moses Chan, what is there to worry then? "If I can succeed like him (Moses) 10 years from now, I'm already satisfied enough."

Jason's Tips

Q: What is your favorite style of British fashion?
A: Long coats. Basically all men in London has one. Very handsome! I have a few long coats myself to watch the door."

Q: You said you like to buy shoes, what was the most expensive one you bought?
A: In 1999, I saw Nicholas Tse with a pair of Birkenstocks. I used 300 pounds to buy a pair for myself while they were on sale. I spent all the money I earned from working at my father's restaurant all at once.

Ella's Tips

Q: How do you like to dress in the winter?
A: Boyish. I have never been that girly. A coat with a pair of jeans and flats, comfortable and looks good.

Q: What about colors?
A: Autumn can be very colorful, I like to match gray with purple, red and green. The whole look is high spirited and harmonious.

Ella Koon loves wearing 'old lady underwear'

Ella Koon and Jason Chan took part in a fashion show as models. There were several sexy models wearing underwear for the catwalk. Ella was dressed conservatively, and when reporters teased she was on par, Ella laughed: "I don't have the body figure, so I don't dare to do the catwalk. Leave that for the professional models. Actually, I like sexy underwear too, every time I go on vacation, I would buy some. (Wear it for your boyfriend?) No, it's just for collection. I usually like to wear old lady underwear, it's very comfortable and protective."

Jason frankly expressed he was busy preparing backstage and didn't pay attention to the sexy models, "I heard lace underwear is very comfortable, but if I were to buy them for my girlfriend, I will have to take up some courage, after all it is a little awkward."

Ella Koon responds to Ron Ng's rumor coldly: "Drinking Damages the Liver"

Raymond Lam, Kate Tsui, Ella Koon, Michael Miu and Ben Wong all attended the promotional event for TVB new series Highs and Lows. The cast participated in a tug-a-war competition. The two brave and skilled actors, Michael and Ben, came down from the third floor on a rope and when playing ball, Michael blurted out saying Kayi Cheung is the "most beautiful black porkchop'. It was an embarrassing moment for Kayi.

Ron Ng and Toby Leung were rumored while shooting for TITS2 in Sanya. As Ron's good friend, Raymond expressed he has not seen the reports, but explained on his behalf: "Toby has been calling us Big Brother for more than 10 years, don't get so sensitive. There is nothing to discuss about. (How is Ron's alcohol tolerance?) He's regular, OK. Everyone please just cut him some slack. When he sees me, he gives me hugs too."

As Ron's ex-rumored girlfriend, Ella Koon, did not have much to say about his rumor: "I don't want to comment on other people rumors. I just want the series to get high ratings. (Are you and Toby close?) We were newcomers in the same year, pretty okay. (Have you been to such parties and seen similar incidents?) I've been to Michael Miu's party before, but we don't behave like that, no matter how high we get. I never get drunk, its bad for the liver."

Highs and Lows is getting heavy attention, Kate said without holding back: "This year I only have this series, and I'm only relying on this series at the TVB Anniversary Awards. (Confidence to get TV Queen?) I'll be happy enough to get nominated. Luckily the producer is satisfied with my performance." When speaking of FaDans leaving TVB, Kate frankly expressed the pressure increases. As for the TVB Calendar is back in 2013, Kate continues to be in the group with Bosco Wong and Raymond Lam. No wonder Kate joked they look like conjoined twins. Actually, there could be a new combination 'January Stars': "In the past few years, we were on January together. I'm honored to be on January, when people open the calendar, they'll see us first. I feel very happy." Raymond expressed: "Perhaps we all debuted around the same time, and frequently collaborate, so we get put on the same month."

Ella Koon praises her boyfriend is perfect, Ron Ng can't compare

The day before, Ron Ng's ex-girlfriend Viann Zhang announced she and new boyfriend Chen Li have been dating for two months. She praised Chen is a "responsible and sincere man". Viann said when she was with Ron, she loved him with all her heart, but there were a lot of problems in their relationship, such as the distance, she said: "I tried forgiving and insisting on keeping the relationship, but it was already damaged and how can I tolerate being cheated? Chen confessed his love to me after Ron and I separated. There was no third party in the issue. I need a boyfriend who can give me security." Reporters contacted Ron to ask about Viann's new boyfriend, he said: "As long as she's happy."

Yesterday Ella Koon attended an event and when asked if she heard of the reports that there was a third party between ex-rumored boyfriend Ron and Viann's relationship? She said: "Haven't followed the news, and I won't comment on other people's news. (You're finally out of it?) Not responding. (Did Ron try to reconcile with you?) Not responding." When asked if her current doctor boyfriend is better than Ron? She said: "My boyfriend is perfect." However, she expressed she and her boyfriend do not have plans for marriage yet and it's not because her company doesn't allow it: "I don't want to live with him yet because I'm always playing with musical instruments, it will affect him. If living me, then should always wear ear plugs or install a sound-proof wall."

Ella Koon did not kick Fiona Sit out of Warner Music

It was rumored Ella Koon signed a three year contract with Warner for HK$6 million, a super low price, and successfully kicked Fiona Sit out of the company. She'll be joining Warner and become their new Big Sister. Yesterday she attended fashion brand TITICACA's new store opening ceremony with colleagues from Warner and her old company. She announced she has officially joined Warner: "I'm very pleased with the price, but I don't want to say what it is. After all, my company and I are happy with the contract."

Ella frankly expressed she did not know Fiona was leaving Warner when she signed with them: "I actually thought I'll get collaborate with her. We debuted together, and have chemistry. I'm happy for her too, that she found a new direction in her career." It was rumored she got a 'super low' company transfer fee, and then successfully kicked Fiona Sit out.

Ella is not worried joining Warner will affect her relationship with TVB. She said: "We have a good relationship. TVB gives me a lot of opportunities, and my new series Highs and Lows is airing soon too. (Worried you may not be able to participate in the promotions or your scenes may get cut?)

When speaking of Ella's post on Weibo earlier, where she brings up her past relationship with Ron Ng, yesterday she expressed people need to move forward in life and she has no comment on it.

Ella Koon brings up the past, hurt by Ron Ng before

It can be said that Ron Ng and his ex-girlfriend Ella Koon are "no friends after goodbye". After Ron fell into the 'peach blossom trap', causing the break up with Viann Zhang. Yesterday morning at 3am, Ella made a comment on Weibo implying she had been hurt by Ron before. She wrote: "Today I saw the news, and found out people have finally discovered the truth! I've been in love before and I've been hurt before too! I ultimately ended up being hurt! And have been accused of using my relationship as a publicity stunt too! It was really hard for me!" The comment was on her Weibo for about a minute before it got deleted.

Ella and Ron were rumored for 8 years. Even if they were photographed being together, Ron still appeared indifferent about the relationship. It was rumored they broke up before and then got back together. However, they still ended up on bad terms. Ella later found herself a foreign boyfriend. Yesterday [Oriental Daily] contacted Ella, who is currently on vacation overseas with her parents, but she did not respond.

Ron did not respond to ex-lover Ella's Weibo comment and said they don't keep in touch. If they meet at TVB, they still greet each other with a nod.

In 2005, after collaborating in TVB series Revolving Doors of Vengeance, Ella was rumored to have been involved in Ron and his girlfriend's relationship, whom he cohabited with at the time, and cause their break up. Although Ella denied she was the third party, the paparazzi spotted her several times at Ron's house and Ron was her driver.

However, when the two were said to be in a passionate relationship, Ron had several other rumors with Kate Tsui, Toby Leung and Charmaine Sheh. Up until late 2006, Ella indirectly admitted they broke up and implied he was unfaithful. Coincidentally at that time, Ron and Charmaine's rumors became a hot topic.

Ella Koon injured from using real guns with Raymond Lam in a scene

Yesterday TVB new series Highs and Lows was shooting a gun fight scene in Sai Kung. The scene was about Raymond Lam and Ella Koon hunting down Ben Wong, and discovers he mixed the drugs with water. Then the two chased after the truck with the drugs in it and a gun fight started. Raymond and Ella were using real guns for the scene, so the gun shot sounds could be more realistic. Ella even got a cut from the real gun, and immediately teased Raymond for not caring about her. Ella's hand was also bleeding from the cut, she said: "With the site of 'red' (blood), that means our series' TV ratings will be a great hit."

Filming under the blazing sun, Raymond was sweating tremendously and had to take off his jacket before the shoot to avoid getting a heatstroke. As they are using real guns this time, Raymond said: "The gun I have in my hand is real. The bullets used in the scene still had half of the gunpowder and has pretty strong recoil. The last time I remember using a gun was when I was shooting Golden Faith's (2002) finale."

This year, Raymond has done many action films/series, so he believes he's in a good physical state for his upcoming concert. Raymond said: "This time, I love my straightforward and rough role. In the last 2-3 years, my roles were usually gentlemen, but I don't understand why my role as the CIB senior inspector, always have to 'gossip' and participate in these arrest operations."

Ella greatly complained of how hot the weather was and that filming was difficult. After learning a lesson from last time, where she almost got a heatstroke, this time she brought water with her and took off her jacket whenever she could. She expressed: "I'm always following Raymond running here and there, it's pretty difficult. I think I'm losing 2 pounds each day. Raymond runs really fast, I wonder if he was in track and field before!" Standing besides her, Raymond laughed and said he was on the swim team.

Ella Koon's brother Jamis suspected of eating dog meat, Netizens furious

Since youth, Ella Koon has always been a dog lover. Over the past several years, Ella has had over 20 dogs as pets in her house, but it turns out her elder brother (Jamis Koon Chung Ming) not only ate dog meat in Shenyang last month, but also showed off with a photo on Weibo. Yesterday Ella expressed she doesn't believe her brother would eat dog meat.

Cats and dogs are not only pets, they are also a close friends to humans. It's a pity people in Mainland are still continuously murdering these animals and eating them. As a dog lover herself, Ella's brother Jamis Koon uploaded a photo of a table food of dog meat dishes and even expressed to his friends all over: "Dog meat is delicious."

Reporters discovered two related photos on Jamis' Weibo, both photos were uploaded on March 11th. The first was a photo of the 'Shenyang Dog Meat Shop' and the second one was a whole 'Dog Meat Feast'. It was seen there was a total of 9 dishes on the table. Netizens saw the sight of this and painfully criticized: "Why do you have to eat dogs? How could you eat such cute animals? There should be a law that prohibits the killing of dogs." were also some people that directly criticized that Jamis has no mercy, but Jamis himself has not responded.

The 33 year old Jamis Koon was actually a graduate of the TVB 12th Acting Class in 1998. Catherine Chau and Jenny Koon were his classmates. He entered the industry earlier than his sister Ella, but later Jamis left the entertainment circle to follow his father in doing business. What's ironic is Jamis has a pet dog in his Hong Kong home, and once uploaded a photo of his beloved dog. He said: "I have a black dog, his name is 'Sat Kill'." Also, he often uploads photos of him with good friends rebuilding the big Buddha in Mainland. On one hand he's oriented towards Buddha, but on the other hand, he's a dog killer. Such self-contradictory.

Yesterday reporters contacted his sister Ella Koon over the phone. When asked if she knows her brother showed off his 'Dog Eating Feast' with a photo on Weibo? She said: "I didn't know. I have been busy shooting series recently and haven't really had the chance to see my family muuch. Also, he's always not in HK, I'm not too sure what he's up to." As for her brother eating dog meat? Ella said: "I have to get an understanding first. We love dogs, and have been raising dogs since youth until now."

Ella said she currently owns 3 dogs at home. Sat Kill is a stray dog that her brother brought home. When asked if she believes her brother would eat dog meat? She said: "From what I know of my brother, I don't think so. Perhaps he just took a photo of it. (Are you afraid it might be the truth?) Of course I"m afraid to hear this, but I don't quite believe it because we started raising dogs since we hit puberty and we are people who cannot be separated with dogs."

The President of the HK's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (HKSPCA) strongly denounced Jamis for eating dogs: "I believe eating dogs is very sick, very inhumane, ridiculous because they are our friends. Dog owners clearly understand dogs are very loyal to humans. I just think if you can still eat dogs, that is just really ridiculous, don't even deserve to be a human being. Some people in Mainland still eat dogs, you have to go against these traditional food cultures, must have legislation. Because just us dog lovers alone protesting, they will be asking why can you eat chicken, pigs or cows then? Why can't we eat dogs or cats? So, I just feel to avoid conflicts, the best is to simply have legislation. We at HKSPCA have been doing this all along, assisting in drafting a legislation and hope to make it into a law soon." Furthermore, the President continues: "I feel people who eat dogs have a serious character issue. We aren't in a war or famine right now, there is no excuse to eat dogs. That is sick, I hate them."
