Peggy, this really does make me mad and I find it so unbelievable that people can even eat dogs and cats. I don't think all animals were created to be eaten and even if they were, their slaughter should be humane. I am with you and will not eat Chinese but in all fairness, I don't really eat Chinese anyway and I only eat meat on rare occasions.

Over a year ago, I saw a horrible and disgusting video on the way they beat the dog on the head to knock it unconscious and then skin it alive for people food. Most of them weren't unconscious and bleed to death first. They flatten down the dogs and pile them on top of each other and stuff them that way in small chicken wire cages while they are alive and then ship them off to a slaughter house. There the dogs have to watch other dogs being slaughtered, knowing that they are next. Some can stay in that same cage for days without being able to move at all, to say the least of being given food or water. The slaughter house showed these cages with the dogs stuffed in them from floor to ceiling and rows and rows of them by the thousands. I couldn't watch the whole video....it literally made me sick to my stomach for the whole day and then some. Ever since then, I refuse to eat Chinese food because their meats and products are always imported from China and there is no guarantee that it isn't dog or cat meat. It is also my way of protesting such horrific treatment of pet animals in China and it's Providence's. I hope you will join me in this protest of not eating Chinese food. I hope that one day all the take-out and restaurants here in the States and other countries ban together and show support against such horrible treatment of our cannine friends. Until they stop, I will not show any support for their cruel business's. The above link is NOT graphic, it is a news report explaining their culture and shows a video of the dogs that got saved on a truck. Those dogs were lucky enough to be able to stand up in their jammed crate, where as, many others are not so lucky. Peggy & The Girls
