This article = The dumbest thing I have ever read
Dear Mr. Author:
Cultures eat different animals. Some cultures eat cows; others don't. Some eat "bushmeat," i.e. primates; others don't. And some eat dogs; we don't. All other issues aside (e.g., I know that there are environmental problems with bushmeat), it is the epitome of arrogance to criticize another culture's taste in animal flesh.
Moreover, most Americans feed their dogs better than many people eat in this world -- yet they have the gall to criticize those with much less than they over how they fill their own bellies.
So, my dear author, since you are so big on human rights, how about you drop that pet of yours, which eats the meat that others cannot afford, and think of those teeming billions less fortunate than you? Either that, or get off your sanctimonious high horse and dig in at the Chinese banquet table. Heck, if you won't eat Lassie, make room for someone who will.
