We spent a couple months in China and the markets were sad places. Cats and dogs, even kittens and puppies in cages waiting for someone to decide they were dinner.

Plus the carcasses of dead dogs and cats that had been skinned were hanging by meathooks. It was amazing.

We went to the zoo in Guanghzou and in a cage, on display, right across from the panda display, was a German Shepherd. We decided they must have caged him to keep him from getting eaten, LOL.

We took a drive through American and saw a cow farm where the cows were side by side in a fenced area, no grass, no way to roam...we saw a chicken farm. The chickens were in cages, stacked one on top of the other. The chickens never set foot outside the cage...We saw a mink farm where thousands of minks were to be killed, not food but to wear.

What is your point?

Do you think Indians are horrified by OUR markets, with cattle parts all over the place?

Do any people there have dogs as pets?

In this part of the country, we eat crawfish and they are considered a delicacy. The state keeps on promoting the eating of a creature that looks like a big rat (the name escapes me right now). So far, very little takers. Who wants to eat a big rat?

Certainly, I don't think we should criticize what other people eat. I think the important point of this article is that animals should be killed humanely.

And we expect these people to be like us enough to reason with?

I understand that woking the dog is a national pastime in China.

I was thinking of going to teach in Korea but I have a German Rotweiller that goes everywhere with me. There is no way I would take him to Korea after reading about this. My poor baby would probably get stolen, beaten and eaten. Dispicable!

I believe the reason why they had the SARs epidemic is because of these filthy markets with filthy cages on top of one another, dogs and mercats crapping on each other.

Yuck!

My brother use to travel to China 30 years ago to buy Chinese antiques. He said he never knew what he was eating half the time -- ruff, ruff -- meow, meow.
