Re: China's Dog Eating festival
Some sites claim that around 40,000 dogs and some 10,000 cats are consumed at this annual festival in Yulin.Although most sources say far fewer.
Locals reckon that many are farmed or are strays -
but of course they would say that.
IF these animals were bred-for-purpose (farmed) and then transported and slaughtered humanely, I can't see a problem.
After all, whassa difference - beef (veal), lamb, pork, chicken, fish, dog, cat, kangaroo, venison ?
OK, let me beat that old drum.
The number of cats and dogs eaten in China each year is far fewer than the number of small reptiles, birds and little furry creatures maimed, tortured and ripped to shreds by cats, worldwide, every single night !
(Sources will be provided if needed)
A suffering animal is a suffering animal.
Unlike cats and dogs, some to the point of extinction.
I will take people more seriously when I see them actively campaigning for the culling of felines.
