The current spotlight on China's human rights record fails to illuminate its cruel and inhumane treatment of dogs and cats.

    I have been thinking about this article all day. I do understand the argument that those who eat meat of any kind should examine their own actions. What is most profoundly disturbing though, is a lack of empathy exhibited by some posters here and , it seems, most of the Chinese reponsible for the slaughter. People in the US were outraged at the recent inhumane treatment of cows in the slaughterhouse. Yet, many who post here seem to make no reference to the callous, insensitive and truly horrific treatment of the cats and dogs in China. The lassie dog in the article was seeking human companionship and found it. I wonder what it was thinking when it was grabbed by the scruff, and god knows what.
