Because it is fair to judge a nation of over a Billion inhabitants by what happens to a dog on a street? Does that mean that we should based our opinion of the US on someone like Fred Phelps or Glen Beck?
Or perhaps we should base our opinion of the US solely on those 3 white supremacists who chained a black man to their car and then drove around until he was dead and was spread over a wide area?
Just asking.
Btw, the dog was dead. While skinning it in public is bad taste, eating a dog is no different than eating deer. Or eating horse for that matter, which is considered normal in various European countries (but definitely not the UK).
In itself, the act of skinning a dog is no different than the act of skinning a turkey.
Or, a badger.Quote:

I am inclined to give our upstanding member Shayne the benefit of the doubt and take him at his word that here he is merely giving us examples of the real China, not necessarily a rigorous proof :p
From someone who lives in this city and has for over ten years I can tell you situations such as this are more the norm then some exception .
Last year there were three videos of a woman using her spiked heel shoes to stomp kittens to death. as well as rabbits.

Most days walking down the streets behind the fancy high end shopping districts or even in parks you will see kids Sh#ing on the street. mom or dad dont even bother to clean it .
child slavery and disfigurement is seen everywhere in this country.
a large majority of cooking oil that is sold as new is boiled and filtered from restaurant slops.
the further you go outside the cities the grimmer conditions become.
so yes I do believe you can judge a nation of over a billion people based upon the actions viewed on a daily basis.
Fred phelps and glen beck are not even in the same book,
In that case, there is not a single country on earth which would be judged positively.Quote:

We just want everyone to have democracy. :shrug: There's the right way, the wrong way and than there is our way. :w
I've heard (but have no facts) that eating dogs is a part of Chinese culture. While i do not like it, i can't judge Chinese based on how i feel about eating animals i ever wouldn't.
Skinning a dead animal in public might be politically incorrect and cause to the major trauma for most in the western world, but not so long ago, at least here, there were butcher shops with whole pigs hanging on a wall and there was nothing special about it. Alive chicken sold in the market squares.
Of course that might be impossible today. People do not want to get bad feelings so they do not want to see or think about where their food comes from: dead animals.
We use animal based products so much that we do not even know how many different products actually has something to do with them. I do not say that it is wrong. We just shouldn't feel ourselves better if Chinese eat dogs.
That said. I wouldn't ever eat dog or horse. I'm too soft to hurt almost any animal.
