Yup, staying in China for 5 years now, I can tell you, that it is hard to find place with more bizarre beliefs, concerning food and health, than in China. These beliefs are super dangerous for nature and climate. Traditional Chinese medicine says that dog meat is very healthy, and Chinese will eat anything that is considered healthy. They also eat all sorts of produce made from tigers, bears, elephants and rhinoceros horn. Morons believe that their 3cm penis will work better, if to consume powder made from these animals. CHina is the biggest illegal market for illegal animal produce. And I talked to engineers at our plant, they traveled around the world, been to Netherlands, America, other countries. They speak English. But if their mother will cook dog meat, they will eat it!!! Bcs they f...g BELIEVE it is HEALTHY!!!
The more money they have, the more animal produce they can buy. It is actually scary, as it is like an imbecile with weapon against nature.
They are extremely cold and remorseless with animals - they buy a dog, as it is prestigious, but as there is still no pet culture (don't forget, 20 years ago they had not enough rice to feed themselves), they don't want to spend money on expensive food and feed dog with rice and food remnants from the table. As a result of poor feeding and lack of exercise ALL big dogs (and small Chinese people take pride in a big dog) have rickets, their hind legs are X-shape and they limp. They buy a Samoyed, Husky or Malamute dogs, the most popular breeds now, and keep them in the apartment!!!!! (in China most people live in apartments) taking for a walk couple of times a day for 10 minutes, only to wee and poop. I want to cry when I see those runners dragged by the leash around apartment building. Dog **** they don't pick up and actually encourage their dogs to **** on the pavement. It's better, no need to step off the road. If dog doesn't learn toilet routine, they usually get rid of it.
The way they treat dogs at dog farms made me sick for weeks. I visited some when buying my precious boy. I better skip details, as they will make you sick too.
May be I sound angry, but this is what I see with my own eyes and it makes me sick.
But you know how they protected pandas? Capital punishment for killing panda. Would be nice to introduce the same for dog cruelty.
