Live food is whats best for animals but they catch the food in wide open spaces. The food is not droped from a van and has no hope of escape. The whole practice is barbaric.
I think you may have misunderstood, I just didn't want to get all political on this forum.
It's all about money & politics that's why governments worldwide do not say a damned thing.
again, I was agreeing with you in the fact that you cannot talk about the whys without getting political and just lightly touched on the exact same thing you are saying - that governments don't say anything.
you can't ask these questions without getting political because it is COMPLETELY political. the United States owes China so much money that if China were to ask us to pay up right now, we would be broke and we would all be speaking Chinese. (nothing wrong with the language, just illustrating a point). So our government does very little to stir the pot with them.
We buy Chinese goods because people like you, me and the OP are part of a mindless consumer culture that want our goods fast and cheap and as long and we don't care who it hurts.
The United States stirs the pot with China PLENTY. In the period after WWII, the United States more or less FORCED China to "forgive" Japan of any reparations because we were attempting to assist our buddies in Japan in rebuilding their economy. That's only one example.
I agree that anything made from animal products manufactured in china scares me. They have on multiple occassions used dog fur on clothing manufactured there. I try to avoid fur in general, but that is an especially big no-no to me.
But yeah, unfortunately we are so dependent on trade with China that we do little to stand up to them, this is not only with regard to animal rights but the environment, too (and possibly other issues).
The whole thing sickens me, if I was chinese I would be ashamed that my people do this to animals.
Tell me what race you are and I'll give you a few things to be ashamed about.
I am really sick of your obvious racism. This isn't about animal cruelty: this is about your obvious desire to bash the Chinese.
There are a lot of cultures that do a lot of sick things, including whatever one you belong to. No human race is innocent.
You don't even argue intelligently. You have no arguments, you only have hate. You are an obvious bigot if you think *I* or anyone else should somehow bear some kind of burden of what their culture does. Saich2, I am genuinely embarrassed on your behalf.
