Well, at least those are quick deaths, unlike the deaths of the cats and dogs that are eaten — skinned alive, boiled alive, blow-torched alive.... China and all of Asia needs to be dragged, kicking and screaming if necessary, into 21st century civilization.

I don’t like the idea of pet species being eaten, but I also understand cultural differences. I just think animals slaughtered for food should be killed humanely. The USA has had laws since the 1950s requiring that animals slaughtered for food to be rendered unconscious and unable to feel pain before they are killed. And just weeks ago, President Trump signed a bill into law that prohibits animal cruelty and torture. Unfortunately, it still happens, but it does not occur widely and it isn’t widely accepted as it is in Asian countries.

They believe causing the animal terror makes the meat more flavorful.

“The USA has had laws since the 1950s requiring that animals slaughtered for food to be rendered unconscious and unable to feel pain before they are killed.”

Yet “halal” manages to skate around this.

Awake. aware and terrified, hanging upside down, their throats are slashed.

Pagan blood sacrifices.

It’s one province in China that eats dogs. That’s like blaming all of tye USA for what is done in new Hampshire.

And then you say all of Asia? Really? Japan and Singapore too in your blanket statement?

I agree 200%. I still eat meat, but make every attempt to buy only Humanely raised, pastured, cage free, etc. Thank you for posting.
