I don't like that my husband eats pork, but I can't do anything about it unless I'm the one cooking/buying it. I have friends who don't eat cow over all the time and out of respect we don't serve it in their presence. |

This is what will happen to the signed petition. It will get forward to the Chinese government. They will look at it and say, "Look at these arrogant Americans trying to tell us what to eat while they torture cows, pigs, and chickens. At least our dogs are natural, these Americans force feed these animals with hormones and genetically modify them. Who's cruel?" and then toss the petition in the trash. |

I don't eat dog, nor would I. I don't eat cows, pigs, or chickens either. That doesn't make me better than anyone, nor does it give me some pass to be more judgmental or less hypocritical when speaking out against horrific practices, in other cultures or our culture. It doesn't equate to "well I don't eat meat, period, so therefore I can realllllly speak out against meat practices whereas meat eaters should not speak out" -- no way is that logical in my book. My husband eats meat, and I respect it -- but you can be sure he is against cruel torture toward any living being, period. As far as your thoughts about a potential law someday: BRAVO. I'm right there with you and could not agree more! |

We kill 3-4,000,000 pets every year in the US. Oh well, *shrugs*, let's do nothing about it. Let's stop all the rescues, all the spay/neuter programs, all the feral s/n programs etcetera. Let's do nothing....bc "look at these silly human beings telling us what we should be doing w/ our pets". :rolleyes: |

Phew. From what I previously knew/know of you, I just *knew* we couldn't be on opposite pages on this one. I'm so glad we're not! |
And...I do apologize if I wasn't skilled at better expressing things initially. Finding the right words is not always easy... |
We all agree that the process of preparing meat is terrible and wrong. My point is, if you don't come up with a solution nothing will be done. Voicing your opinion and signing petitions is a waste of energy unless you can come up with a solution. For years Americans have been complaining about the way we prepare beef. Oprah tried to fight against the beef industry. They shut her up good. There's also a recent documentary on how the beef industry is destroying our ecosystem and polluting our land due to feces and blood from the slaughter house. Yet, no one has come up with a solution and the demand for beef keeps increasing so these beef manufacturers continues with their operation. Problems like this have brought powerful people together and discuss population control which is the root cause of such issues and GMO foods. |

No probs! It's hot outside, the yorkinators are acting like they don't understand the meaning of the word "no", and I want some ice cream. I'm sure I came across as witchy in a few posts as well. It's all good:p |

Your statement above is called apathy...and that is all that evil needs to survive. |

Tphan - I prefer doing something over nothing, and always will. Every little thing we do toward the right direction is a step in that direction. And I end my discussion with you by leaving it w/ this quote, which is one of my faves: "When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before. --Jacob Riis" |

On the bright side, there are groups of animal activists that goes to this festival each year and purchase some of these dogs and rescue them. :thumbup: |
