What's wrong with eating dog?I read on the news that Beijing has ordered local restaurants to stop serving dog meat dishes during the course of the Olympics. Why? “Concerned that canine dishes might offend animal rights groups and Western visitors, Beijing said restaurants expected to be popular among foreign visitors must stop serving dog meat "to respect the dining customs of different countries". [TVNZ news website, July 11th 2008] Respect my arse! I am sick to death of two faced, arrogant, hypocritical western people trying to tell me how I can live my life and forcing me to adapt to and adopt their lifestyle. Lets make a few things crystal clear here. 1/ If I wanted to life in the USA I would. Or any other country. The fact that I chose, yes chose, to live in China means I do not want to be a part of your culture. Fine, if you want to live that way, go for it, but no matter how big you THINK you are, the so called western society is still a small minority when it comes to the actual world. 2/ Before you criticise others, get off your fat round, white, lazy good for nothing arses, crawl outside your miniscule, paranoid, bigoted, ignorant and racist rock you exist under and take a first hand look at some of these cultures that your narrow mind looks down on.

So, you have a pet dog, So what? I had a pet chicken, millions of kids over the word have pet lambs. Do you hear us criticising you for eating something we think of as cute, fluffy white little thing that never hurt anyone? When was the last time you read of a lamb attacking a child? Do you really think that the 12 weeks that the hen was in this world was anything close to approaching humane? Maybe if we stuck 100 of you in a small 3 metre square cage ignoring your broken legs and crushed ribs you might think differently. Yes, the world is different, different people, different languages [and no, we don not all WANT to speak YOUR English] different ideas and different food. So either go back to where you came from and leave the rest of the world to live in peace, or come with an open mind and accept things are a different |
