Fair point, as I said in my original argument I'm not saying they are the same thing, just that we are guilty of killing animals inhumanely and therefore can't really argue against another country doing so. I can't stress enough though, that I'm not supporting the festival or saying that I'm "OK" with it. Nor am I OK with some of the practices we have over here. I just think people need to start looking a little closer to home before taking issue with other cultures.

They steal peoples pets and torture them in the street, breaking their bones and ripping their coats off while the aninals are still alive because apparently the meat tastes better if the animal is kept alige until they are final boiled alive. All this happens in the street as a celebration.

If you don't think that is fundamentally wrong then wowzers.
