It was featured On CNN
today. http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...m-within-china [The Yulin dog meat festival is facing an increasing backlash from within China, after years of international criticism. About 10,000 dogs are likely to slaughtered during this year’s event, which got underway on Sunday and marks the summer solstice in the town in south-west China. ] |

I'm not reading that, I'm glad it's frowned upon hopefully soon it will just be an outmoded tradition.

What about the way Chickens are killed, their heads chopped off and they still running around for a few minutes after, also how they're kept in general, battery hens

(though I suspect this is partly because free range eggs are better quality and taste better, also . Caged hen eggs are often pale and bland.) |

You know my methods

Most of the dogs are strays or pets. They are shipped in on lorries in crates - the journey takes 2 days, they are not fed and watered. The dogs in general are riddled with disease.
There is little comparison to our regulated meat and poultry industry |

That's disgusting too, cruelty happens everywhere because humans even in abbatoirs feel the need to be cruel,,but these dogs are not stunned they are thrown in to boiling water alive and also skinned alive as the idiots think the more pain the dog suffers the tenderer the meat,as I said barbaric and all in the name of a festival.They are stolen from people ,some are guard dogs ,some are strays,if someone stole my pet and did that,they'de be following them.

If a guard dog gets stolen, surely it was a really ineffective guard dog? Couldn't even guard itself! To the pot with you.

It's not just the middle class.It was explained that the vast Majority of China's population have always been opposed to dog eating.
The only time it got support officially was about 800 years ago.It is only in some parts of two south eastern cities that border South Korea that dog eating ever took hold. There have been big protests by all the classes against what's going on. I promise I am no supporter of the Chinese Regime.Just setting the facts straight that's all and informing some people who may not know that the Maj have always been against it. I bet there will be some who will try and make out that dog eating is widespread and spread hatred against them. In South Korea it's more widespread I think,yet we are not hearing anything about what is going on there and there's not any reports of protest there. |

Why is it evil to farm dogs but not cows, sheep, pigs etc? They're all animals, just because we say it is? What if a Muslim country told us all we had to stop farming Pigs because they don't like people eating pig meat, would we do it just because they said so?

Why is eating dogs more wrong than eating other animals though? Don't get me wrong, i have a dog and I love her because she's my pet but in general why is farming one animal evil but another is just fine?

Dogs are different they're domesticated animals, bred for service and companionship. If we had done that to cows, pigs or sheep we'd feel different but we haven't

Pigs can be pets too, but they're still killed and cut up for people to eat
