Protesters howl at China's controversial dog-eating festival

[PatriotLover]

Shame on China, how can humans eat dirty animals like pigs and dogs is beyond my understanding!

 

[Jlaw]

I beg to disagree. Leave those foreign nations alone, though I hate to see seal slaughter in Canada or Dolphin Bay, they are none of our business. Majority of Chinese including myself are against this idea, the minority should stop offending rest of us in the name of preserving tradition. Dogs are friendly to human, they are playmates with human kids, functional helpers for the blind, help police drug trafficking, great companions to old people after their spouse decease. Yes good tribal traditions need to be preserved, but bad traditions of mistreating dogs need to be removed.

You are against it, so the other people can't do it? Talk about a double standard.

The 'cannot' here is more like 'should not'. This falls under moral persuasion and I maybe incorrect, but no one is advocating legal consequences for eating dogs.

WTF you are talking about me? I said don't care if the whites or blacks or whatever being barbaric to seals or dolphins or whales, its their business! Majority in China are like me, against dog-eating, and for that you label me as a damn sellout you are sick or what? I like dogs, so I am a sellout? I tried to debate politely but you label me as sellout, Fxxk you!

I'm against dog eating, but I'm even more against hypocrisy. There's nothing wrong in being against hypocrisy more than dog eating. I don't see anyone call Koreans barbaric for eating dog more often than Chinese ever do, or anyone calling Japanese barbaric for clubbing baby dolphins to death. The only reason people are more opposed to dog eating in China than they are to dog eating in Korea or Switzerland is because they have bias against Chinese; if they were against animal cruelty, they'd be against animal cruelty EVERYWHERE. If you agree with them, then you have no sense of self preservation and don't even know when you have been insulted.

You care about outsiders' hypocrisy? I don't, cos they can do jack about it. There are no baby seals, no dolphins, no whales here, we can do jack about saving that don't we?

Now move your attention here will you? You notice who are protesting? It's Chinese just like you and me protesting there, so what the heck is hypocrisy? Now you are one of many against dog eating, we can, we should, and we will continue to protest until it stops!

I am against it, and I don't do it, looks very single standard, where is the double?

I am against it, but I can't stop others from doing it (BTW who can? CCP?) so I voice out my opinion, and protest, again same standard, where's the double?

 

[Soulspeek]

If I am not wrong, dog meat is a delicacy in Nagaland state of India too!!

i am very suspicious of any protest against anything Chinese do because Chinese are held to a much higher standard than the rest of the world. it is notmostly Chinese protesting either, it is white ppl. but these white ppl don't do shit about Switzerland, Japan or south Korea so I have no obligation to help foreign racists shit on my culture.

 

[ArsalanKhan21]

stupid, if eating beef pork checken fish whale turkey OK , why cann't eat dogs?just because you don't?

We have Halal law which prescribes what is permisable and which is not. The meat eating animals are prohibited. Jews and Muslims don't eat pork although the Christians do.

dogs are not special because they are intelligent(pigs are probably more intelligent) but because we are emotiionally attached. We dont like people killing animals we are emotionally attached to. British dont eat horsemeat for same reason. Its cultural too. Europeans are not squeamish about horse meat.

For people who have dogs as pets, killing and eating dogs are like killing and eating human babies. Thats why they are raging against it.

Let us know when a pig works as hard and is as versatile as a dog.

Disgusting Chinese.

 

[my2cents]

There is no comparison between a dog and a cow.

To start off, the dog is more intelligent. The more intelligent the creature, the more versatile it is, the more emotional it is, and the more social it is. The most cattle have been to mankind, besides serving as a food source, is to help farming, whereas the dog have been and done much more, anything from hunter, to guard, and to companion. The dog is proactive in its relationship with man, whereas the cow is reactive. The dog seeks to please man, whereas the cow is just simply -- there.

People are not stupid. They are not going to fall for the simplistic argument that the dog is nothing more than the cow. If you value your relationship with another human being as exceptional from relationships to other creatures, then you know that there are gradations of values of relationships, and of those grades, the dog to man ranks the highest.

What about pain these animals have to endure when they are being tortured or killed? Does cow endure less pain than a dog??

Chinese are disgusting, they will torture and eat anything, it's because of the Chinese the Tigers are almost extinct.
