Cheri -- I'm not defending ANY inhumane practice, but before you start indicting all Asians, I think you'd better do some investigating into the ways that animals that are kept for food are raised and slaughtered in THIS country. To say that it isn't always humane is an understatement. tom elkins Firethorn Temple -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of cheradongsd@xxxxxxx Sent: Friday, July 11, 2008 12:02 PM To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Fw: Yahoo! News Story - Beijing takes dog off the menu for Olympics - Yahoo! News yeah--they eat PEOPLE too.? If I try hard enough i can find the article where it tells about how they eat ABORTED BABIES--they think there is some special advantage to their health to eating human "meat'--and there are restaurants that serve them too.? I wonder if they took that off the menu also. ?? I wont even get into my feelings on the subject.? I CRINGE when i think of how the Asians over there will basically eat anything that moves.? And I still have the website on my computer that shows how they "slaughter' the dogs they eat.? They are MOST inhumane and beastly cruel--and how they skin them alive--DOGS--SKINNED ALIVE--so their coats will have the softness and whatever that is caused by the rush of adrenaline from the torture..they have "dog farms" where they are raised for meat-- And I will shut up for now because i am at work and I am beginning to get upset and the tears are starting to flow. At least for the most part--the "slaughter" of the cows and chickens and other? meat animals that is done here is SUPPOSED to be done humanely.? We dont hang any animals upside down ALIVE by their back legs and skin them alive. dont get me going on this. Cheri Hunt----Cheradon Shepherds Home of Ch.
