Hi, all!   
      
      
   http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/30205410   
   -----Beginning of the citation-----   
   "Around three percent of the Swiss secretly eat cat or dog," said Tomi   
   Tomek, founder and president of animal protection group SOS Chats   
   Noiraigue."   
   ----- The end of the citation -----   
      
   Should a reporter replay the errors of the person he interviewed? Or we can   
   write "cat and dog" without any article?   
      
   I would say:   
   "Around three percent of the Swiss secretly eat cats or dogs,"  said  Tomi   
   Tomek,  founder and president  of  animal  protection  group  SOS  Chats   
   Noiraigue."   
      
   or at least:   
      
   "Around three percent of the Swiss secretly eat the cat or dog,"  said  Tomi   
   Tomek,  founder and president  of  animal  protection  group  SOS  Chats   
   Noiraigue."   
      
      
   Bye, all!
