Dear Anon, It is quite difficult for me to answer this question. This is because, there are many Chinese who have been educated in the West or some has even lost touch with their roots e.g. unable to read Mandarin or speak the tongue or language.

Dear Dr Muthu, The main consideration is that the animal drawings should not portait any animals as showing a `hungry' face i.e. wanting to devour ...

The reason behind it is that Symbolism is important in Feng Shui and one should avoid " inauspicious " paintings deplicting them.
