Ted Kerasote's article, "An Olympic Disgrace"
[Read the article: An Olympic disgrace]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am a great admirer of Ted Kerasote's books.
As for his article on China, I knew of the abuse of animals and of course the travesty in Tibet, but his article is an important one in that it points out the cruelty of treatment, not just the cultural differences of eating dogs and cats vs. cattle.
I put my money where my mouth is. I do not buy goods from China unless it is absolutely necessary, I would not attend the Olympics there and I would do nothing to promote their economy if I could consciously help it.
In the US, I buy organic farm raised and humanly treated meats and nothing mass produced. It is only when we stop buying Chinese products that they will listen. Money talks and it is time we let China know we do not approve of many of their governmental policies.
Sincerely, Anne O'Donoghue Mackesey
