To those who don't see the difference between dogs and chickens:
I don't see the difference between you and monkeys.
Seriously now: I don't eat dogs.
This is not the result of my 'culture', this is the result of my conscious effort to understand and appreciate the value of life of an animal that can think and that can have emotions.
Therefore, if you eat dogs, defending that as part of your 'culture' will not hold. You need to stop, think and make a decision to do away with that behavior. Culture or not.
Now, about the Chinese: I don't know how exactly they treat dogs and cats, but seeing how they treat humans does not make me feel terribly confident about it. They need to learn. It may not be up to us to force it on them or preach it to them, but they need to learn before we accept them as equal partners.
