		<description>Holden, I admire that you&#039;re so well traveled and appreciate the fact that you&#039;ve experienced many cultures and advocate for tolerance. I am of Chinese descent and HAVE been to China. 

No one is saying that the Chinese people do not deserve to find what&#039;s necessary to survive hunger and poverty. If you look into this subject more closely, you will discover that dogs and cats in China are viewed upon as aphrodisiac delicacy, etc., and is in NO WAY a source for survival. Family pets sometimes get absconded and sold in black markets for fur and meat. 

The lack of responsibility for animal control contributes to overpopulation of dogs and cats, and as a result, diseases spread and many animals being put to death. In cases of an epidemic, these dogs and cats are the first to become scapegoat. They are beaten and left to die, cats are boiled alive, and many more ways you could not imagine. 

If you live in a western society, you should be outraged at this, yes, &quot;barbaric&quot; culture when it comes to animals. As you know, here we revere dogs, cats, etc. Yes we should all be tolerant of our neighboring countries and respect their ways, however, this is absolutely NOT one of them. What you are saying is, &quot;hey, it&#039;s their country, they can do whatever they want&quot;.</description>

		<description>While I do NOT eat cats or dogs, you people have to realize that in a lot of other countries (NOT in the USA or Europe), that eating animals of ALL kinds of not only the &quot;norm&quot;, but in some cases it&#039;s quite necessary, due to population growth, lack of food supplies, and so forth. 

I love how Americans and Europeans always like to throw the first stones at people who are so different than they are, calling them barbarians, savages, sick fucks and so on.

This is because most of you have NEVER been to a foreign country, nor have you ever experienced what it&#039;s like to live a different life in a different land, with &quot;strange&quot; customs, foods, languages, etc.

I&#039;ve been to over 31 different countries so far, and it never seems to amaze me how much we are all SO different, yet SO much alike...</description>

		<description>:&#039;( why do they have to do this.
this has to stop .
the bit that made me upset the most was &quot;Right now as we speak, cats are rounded up by the thousands into large crates and trucked off to what animal welfare groups describe as extermination camps on the edges of the city.&quot;</description>

		<description>First of all, livestock farming is just as cruel and the practice of that needs to change and is changing. Secondly, meat is meat, then by saying that you are saying we should eat people too. The fact is, if you read the article carefully, it&#039;s the WAY these animals are treated on the way to slaughter that is unacceptable. Cats, dogs, cows, pigs,in that regard suffer the same unnecessary cruelty. If you&#039;ve ever owned a dog or cat, which you probably haven&#039;t and don&#039;t care to, you would understand the outrage that millions of people in modern countries feel against such a matter. If you have any compassion at all, this would bother you. I am a carnivore, but I eat organically. I am on my way to becoming a vegetarian, however, if I am to consume meat, I want to do it as humanely as possible. So there.</description>

		<description>All of you are hypocrites, unless you&#039;re 100% vegetarian! What&#039;s the difference between eating beef and cat? Cows aren&#039;t as intelligent, aren&#039;t as cute? Can&#039;t be domesticated? The bottom line is, make sure you&#039;re not guilty of eating meat, because then you&#039;re just as cruel as these people, you&#039;re cruel as the next guy. Meat is meat, and it doesn&#039;t matter what animal it comes from!</description>

		<description>That is terrible. What jerks they are! Cats have mroe right then that. Anywhere. If China is so powerful and smart and have loads of money, instead of putting these cats in DeathCamps and killing them, why don&#039;t they put that money to good sue and care for the cats, spay or nueter them so they don&#039;t reproduce (thats a good idea, ever think of that? Nope, didn&#039;t think so.) and put them in shelters for people who actually give a damn about cats adopt them. So there you go. Brilliant idea for you suckers!</description>
