So instead of being killed and eaten, these dogs get a few days reprieve and will be euthanized by the China Animal Protection Association.

Good work, activists!!!

When are we going to rescue pigs and cows, and carrots and green beans?

I wish they'd come and rescue the friggin' dust bunnies under my bed.

The "Problem" for us in North America and western Europe dogs are man's best friend we don't extend the privilege to cows, pigs (yes double standards I know).

My dog is sitting 3 feet from me and to my Yankee politically incorrect self I like the story.

I understand that, but it is not our country. We are bitching at PETA and at everyone who brings up the seal hunt. Who the hell are we to say the Chinese can't eat dogs?

Why?

They'll end up dead anyways.
But now the meat will be lost.

I see my dog and think that only by lady luck that Shadow wasn't born in China, but born on this more civilized continent. Shadow is my best friend.

Even in North America, GT, a lot of dogs and cats are euthanized every year.
Doesn't make much difference for me whether they're just killed, or killed and eaten. I wouldn't eat them but I have nothing against those that would.

I know what you mean though. I love horse meat but I'm sure I could NEVER raise a horse for it's meat.

Or a cow, pig, chicken or anything, for that matter. That's why I buy it in the store...
