Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Deaths at 1019 and "UK will do well to keep deaths under 20,000".


Death's in Italy rose by 10,000 in 28 days............ Are we being prepared for a more severe scenario? Perhaps the worst in Europe? Is this what they're saying?

Actually, I think he's the only one laughing about it! Weird.

Seen today ,female person wearing nurse’s uniform gloved and masked getting out of a car going to a neighbour’s flat leaving passenger in front seat smoking.
Havn’t worked that one out yet .

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I think the answer may lie in people who were, or still are, starving - so will eat anything they can! When I was in China, I saw no wildlife, hardly any domestic animals and no animals bred for food e.g. cows, sheep, pigs, chicken! When I was in Vietnam a couple of years ago - the same was true. I was told that over 2 million people died of starvation in the 1944-45 famine. There are two varieties of rat in Vietnam - one variety has died out - the other survives as it's not edible!

But after this virus I believe world powers must exert pressure on China and demand change. The Chinese people have most likely been told it was a foreign virus and nothing to do with them - and they are conditioned to believe what they're told.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Even if that is the case Lindy, how utterly barbaric is to drop dogs into boiling water alive?
One picture also showed a bloke with a ciggy hanging out of his mouth whilst preparing meat!

Starving or not, are there no hygiene laws in that country?
Are there no cruelty laws there?
Are they so backward they have no comprehension of extreme cruelty - even when animals are screaming in agony?
Is it legal?

I find it hard to believe they do not know it is immoral, totally unhygienic and barbaric and they are ignorant of what scientists are saying about the origin of this virus.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

But it's not barbaric, immoral or unhygienic to them Mups. Different cultures........different circumstances.
It's not the only country that eats dogs........

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I beg to differ.

Would it be too much trouble to stun the dog (or whatever), even using a club if nothing better is available, before throwing it in boiling water?

Or is it just too much trouble.

I agree, though. They are not the only culture to treat animals in such ways, as we all know in this country!

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I doubt they'd consider the dog (or whatever) had any feelings!!

Most of us eat beef, pork, lamb and chicken. When we're eating it, do we consider the animal's suffering when it died?
Not much difference really is there?
