| [News] Owners Take Pets to Fortune Tellers in Taiwan (WCCO) Taipei, Taiwan - In Taiwan, people are taking their pets to fortune tellers to find out what is in store for their furry friends. A group of Chinese Yi Jin believers practiced fortune-telling for pets in Taipei, Taiwan on Sunday. Dogs, cats and even rabbits attended the future-forecasting. Some people brought pictures of their dead dogs to find out if their pet was having a good life in the underworld. Using a bamboo stick, fortune tellers tap a Chinese compass in order to tap into signals from the universe. Yang Huei-chun, a fortune teller, claimed he could answer questions raised by pets' owners through the tapping. The fortune-telling is part of a celebration to welcome in the Chinese New Year of the Dog. According to the lunar calendar, this year's Chinese New Year falls on Jan. 29. http://wcco.com/watercooler/local_story_016130820.html |

| hhahahaha..I totally believe that. My mother's from Taiwan and certain people are very into fortune telling. I'm Christian therefore I totally disagree with that. This is only my opinion of course. For pets, I think its cute. People get so attached to their pets that they want to know if they are living a happy afterlife. There's no harm to think that way I guess.
