China & Dogs
Reading Ted Kerasote's experience of being served a dinner of the dog he befriended is like a Stephen King horror tale, except it's non fiction. I felt like I was slapped into reality. One of the many cultural bridges that some Chinese will have to address is that dogs and cats are special companions to humans and don't deserve such a horrific fate. Also, Americans need to treat animals raised to be slaughtered with more respect too. It's not a one way street, but to fully accepted by the rest of the world, the Chinese must reject and outlaw the killing of pets for food or fur.
