No it's not OK. It's dreadful. Of course China has been a country of uneducated peasants until the past decade or two, but as the Chinese become less insular and more educated, I suspect these dreadful practices will become less common.
Now I know you've mentioned it twice now, but I just...
OK, well you're the one using ill considered emotive language. Perhaps you should think about what you write? Or simply just temper what you say, or even back track slightly - I think that is braver and commands more respect than a silly rant that you're not consequently prepared to defend...
I did. He didn't want to debate it with anything remotely like a coherent point. He just weakly opted out.
And if you were on holiday in Korea, saw a dog being eaten, and didn't take kindly to it, well I'd say tough shit.
So those people mocking dogs are ignorant, yet no mention from you of Uncle Spielberg and his view that he would kill anyone he caught eating a dog, or that the Chinese are all scum?
To me, your lack of balance seems "very odd". Honestly, I thought better of you.
The only ignorant one here is you, because it seems you haven't bothered reading the thread. I'd say most people on here defending the rights of others to eat dogs are talking specifically about cultures alien to ours (the Chinese in this case), where perhaps dogs haven't played this important...
That's right. OUR society. So I'd happily agree that eating dogs in this country would offend many and is thus an unreasonable food choice here. I understand some people would KILL others for doing so. It's emotive in the UK.
However, that is not the case in Korean society or Chinese...
Ah there we have it in a nutshell. Dog people remind me of religious zealots. Literally refusing to see the other guy's perfectly reasonable and equally subjective point of view.
You've written off the entire Korean nation there, so you're clearly talking nonsense. This "special bond" you speak of is completely subjective. Not me, but plenty of human beings have little regard for dogs, especially the dogs that have for example, attacked their kids.
I do have respect...
You really are a total idiot whose unintelligent poorly thought-through posts are the sort of thing that probably put animal rights BACK rather than into the public conscious, because they are completely unreasonable.
