I don't know how much of the protest is just spouting propaganda from offense in some attempt to ridicule Chinese people.

Ricky Gervais and Paris Hilton tweets are everywhere.

I bet they've never been and have never documented this event. The whole campaign here in the west seems like poorly veiled racism to me. As in "Look at all the backwards Chinese eating dogs, those savages" etc etc.

I think people have lost a sense of plurality or relativism in cultural practices. Their bigotry knows no bounds. What is the difference between killing an animal and eating it and killing another animal and eating it? Nothing. You're still killing animals and eating them.

dog lovers... well, I don't think people are "dog lovers". Mostly, they're just bigots who like to think themselves superior because of their sanitized lifestyle.

Oh, and I don't think there is such a thing as a humane killing when it comes to eating. When it is a suffering en of life situation, that is the only time a killing is humane. The rest of the time, it's self interest.

Just saying.
