Chinese Dog eating festival petition
 
Can you all sign this so we can help towards the cause of stopping the murder of 100 of thousands dogs for meat for the festival

I'm not signing it because it's utterly pointless. No one in China is beholden to or gives a **** about some meaningless petition that doesn't affect them in any way.

The only reason this petition exists is so that people can share it on Facebook and show off how wonderfully caring they are.

Like Dezzy said, it's really nothing to do with us. We eat bacon from pigs and steak from cows when there are other cultures and religious groups that forbid themselves from doing so. Of course I'm not saying it's the same, and I'm not saying it's right... But there's no point acting high and mighty when we're just as guilty.

true
the future is just growing the muscle tissue aka meat in vats rather than rearing and killing animals

Kazanne 29-06-2018 07:25 AM

For me it is how they are kept and treated,more importantly how they are killed.

mmmmm tasty

Amy Jade 29-06-2018 08:11 AM

While I understand the stance of 'this is nothing to do with us' and see that as a culture they see no wrong in eating dogs I think this particular festival is repulsive and should be stopped immediately.

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.

bots 29-06-2018 08:37 AM

what about the way we kill lobster or sea urchin?

Nicky91 29-06-2018 08:40 AM

To me it's all the same Bots,nothing escapes the cruelty of man, that is why I would never eat any of it, if everybody took the stance that it's not our problem nothing will ever change with anything,a lot of these dogs have been saved so people trying to do good stuff,does work.

bots 29-06-2018 08:54 AM

sea urchin is particularly gross to me. While it is still alive, they pierce it with scissors, then cut off the top, and then yank its tongues out

One mans dog is another mans cow

I believe that is also wrong.

For a long time I was vegetarian but I now eat tuna fish but only if is sourced in a certain way. I have no issue with others eating meat but any meat sourced from an animal in an abhorrent way should be stopped in my opinion.

Not really as cows (hopefully) are supposed to be fed watered and kept in good conditions,and when their time comes they should be stunned then killed ,whereas the dogs are purposely tortured,kept in disgusting conditions and are treated terribly.

When I read this title, I thought this was gonna be a video of a dog from China, eating a petition against some festival.

Ashley. 29-06-2018 09:16 AM

It doesn't matter how nicely we kill our animals, we're still pumping them with steroids and then kicking them into the slaughterhouse on a daily basis. To say one way of killing animals is more humane than another is crazy, because in both circumstances they're being killed for the pleasure of humans. And I'm trying not to be hypocritical because I eat meat, but I believe that the festival is wrong, just as much as I believe the way that we kill some animals is wrong, and if it was my dog that they stole from my home, I'd be flipping furious. But no petition is going to make them give a ****.

I honestly don't think it is when these dogs are being intentionally tortured and then killed in the most brutal painful ways possible, at least there is some small degree of mercy given to slaughtered animals over here if anything.
