Pet psychics in China who claim to help people communicate with their dead pets and find out if they have been reincarnated have sparked an online controversy.

The psychics charge prices of 128 yuan (US$18) to allow owners to ask their pet five questions and 2,999 yuan (US$420) for an unlimited number of questions within six months, according to a news report by Jimu News.

Finding out if their pet has been reincarnated costs between 899 yuan and 1,899 yuan (US$125 and US$260) depending on the circumstances.

...

Anran joined the chat group, which had more than 400 members.

She bought a 128-yuan communication service but was told that she had to wait for four days because Ling, who claimed to be a psychic, was busy with too many orders.

Later, Anran discovered that the answers from her late dog through the psychic were simply based on content she had previously shared on social media.

She also bought an 899-yuan reincarnation package and was told to pray every day until her dog appeared in her dream to tell her where it would be reborn.

When Anran complained to Ling that she did not have such a dream after a few weeks, Ling told her it was because she was not sincere, her belief was not strong or her emotions were not stable.

Yesssss, like Japan and South Korea, western decadence eventually rots non-christian cultures.

Like the reagan arms race, we may fall far, but not as fast or far as our opponent and we’ll bounce back.

Hang in there Christians.

They can apologize to the pets they supposedly defenestrated during the Covid epidemic.

In the early 90’s I worked as an IT consultant for Merrill Lynch in N.Y. Once in a while about a half dozen of us would go to Mott St. in Chinatown for lunch. Some very good food in the better restaurants, my favorite was the Dim sum or dumplings, and there was also some strange stuff in the same places. One of the Asian consultants ordered deep fried chicken feet. Chickens are filthy birds that scratch in their own crap. This was a guy making good money, but I guess you can’t take the country out of a former peasant.
