For me, its not about what we eat but how we treat these animals. Years ago, while assessing some investment opportunities I found my self evaluating robot butchers in a meat packing plant in the US heartlands - I haven't eaten meat since.
Your choice. But to me, when people eat chicken and blaming China for dog, I think it's double standard.
Also, when Americans talking about brutality, or mistreatment, I will recall the Iraq war, Guantanamo, Vietnam war and many others.
I am not against Americans particularly, I hate hypocrisy. When US keep preaching all other countries about human rights, democracy. I can stop laughing at their stupidity and hypocrisy.
This is Tibet Americans and Indians want to liberate and restore their traditions - Serfdom or Slavery.
This is Iraq Americans want to liberate
These are Muslim countries you want to liberate
This is US homeland
As I said, in most China city, 99%, if not 99.9%. You won't see dog meat restaurant. Some places like Yulin is something special. They are not ethnic Han actually.
Even if I ate dog, what's the big deal? Still 1000 times better than killing 1 millions Muslims in Iraq.
China ban Facebook, Twitter for good reason. It's poisoning and just a propaganda tool of US.
