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.

I agree "to each there own" is apllied here. We eat both pig and cow both are very sacred animals in other parts of the world. Bad taste in public yes. And as sad as it is The little girl being abused happens daily in every country of the world.

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

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.

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.

This is a photo that won a Pulitzer prize in 1977. It was taken in Bangkok, Thailand and I do not know the circumstances. What fascinated me about it was the varying expressions on the people watching. Many are repelled while others are smiling. Unfortunately the image quality is lacking but if you see it in a clearer photo it is striking, no pun intended. We've seen similar examples in photos of lynchings in my country, in bygone days, where the participants are shamelessly enjoying the event. We, humans are capable of brutality that is quite shocking no matter what geographical area we come from.

Except for farmers and butchers yes we don't really have a connection with what we eat as we receive it in a finished form.
Pigs , cows , chickens ,moose etc are not raised to be affectionate pets they have been raised and bred for food, just as dogs are in some places as well.
In fact this last Chinese new year the contractor i use gave me haunches o dog which I promptly gave my maid to give to her family .

Point is this was a golden retriever which was most likely left off the lead to walk ran off only to be this guys dinner.
Wont even go into the fact that the government is going to start rounding up unlicensed pets and exterminate them as now as wel as a one child policy we have a one dog policy.

Veterinary care here is a joke most people have dogs as a social status but never have them immunized then get angry when the dog gets sick and kills someon from rabies . Ok and the ferrel cat population

This is just one simple example yes but its important . You can get a good feeling about a people on how they treat the creatures they should be caring for.
Shall I show videos on how they treat each other ? If guns were allowed to the general public this place would be very similar to say Burma. Without the beautiful jungles.
