Looks like the ban on dog meat during the Olympics was a farce. Tags: dog meat china. Big surprise. I'm sure it will be more out in the open along with their choking pollution problem once the games end.

I came across a September/October 2007 issue of Best Friends in which the editorial was about the Vick dogs. It's so easy to forget how BIG that was what with China and wolf-hatin' Palin. He's in the middle of a 23-month sentence on federal charges related to dog fighting. Tags: Michael Vick.

When we left off , the New York Times' Roger Cohen had eaten dog while in China, and wasn't thrilled about it emotionally. Logically, he admits it does make perfect sense to eat dogs if you eat pigs and cows. However I cannot see a rational argument for saying eating dogs or cats is barbaric while eating pork or beef is fine.

Chris from Beijing wasn't able to comment (Animal Person is blocked in China) but he did write me to say he looks forward to Jonathan Safran Foer's sequel to Eating Animals. And when Foer writes that he approves of farms that treat their animals the way we treat pet dogs, that's his real message. Tags: Books Ethics.

And then I read THE CHINA STUDY and was shocked to learn how unhealthy the Standard American Diet is--even cow's milk, which I thought I should be having three servings of per day!

China has more girls available and Russia has more boys. As a vegan, having a diabetic dog involves making decisions that make me uncomfortable. Tags: Activism Current Affairs Ethics.

China was awarded the Olympics on the condition that they would meet certain standards of behavior. They will continue to keep dogs and cats in cages too small to even stand up. Tags: china. I don't foresee any changes in the near future on that front. They met none of those. And so, nothing will change.

One good acquaintance I could probably call a friend is an ethics professor who flies back and forth from Texas to China frequently argued in a group pertaining to bestiality. The guy lured[stole] a dog which did not belong to him, dog taped the dog's mouth shut, tied the dog to a tree, and committed and act of buggery.

Chris from Beijing works to get books translated for the groups he works with, and I can say for certain that you'd never take your access to books for granted again if you heard what he has to go through to get books to China. They don't see veganism as related to their fight against dog racing, at first (or second. ).
