About 25 years ago "60 Minutes" did a story about a country in South
America, I believe it was Brazil, that under certain circumstances it was
legal to
KILL your wife. That story haunted me emotionally then and it still haunts me
emotionally today...our world has so many diverse cultures with different
standards and mores, some of which are very shocking and distasteful to
us....and again I guess we do a few things that are a bit strange and shocking
to
others...so when I see something such as what Cheri posted....well lets just
say I am going to enjoy the dog show I'm attending today that much more...wish
I could have been in San Antonio...Ed Hill

I have discovered something so horrible and horrific just now on my lunch
time that I can hardly concentrate on my work without crying. My heart is
breaking as I write this. I have heard that the Chinese "eat dogs and cats"
but I
never in my wildest most horrible nightmares ever imagined that a "human"
could
be this UN human--but then--they kill so many of their human babies with
their forced abortion policy in China--I guess killing dogs is nothing to
them.
this is about the "dog farms" they have in China-they RAISE dogs to EAT--by
the THOUSANDS. Dog "meat" is very popular in China..Please go to this
site--there are MANY photos of the precious poor dogs that are the future
"meals" in
their cages. ONE OF THEM IS A GORGEOUS COATED GERMAN SHEPHERD
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On this page here http://sirius.2kat.net/Peixiun.html with a
beautiful face--looking out of her cage with those big dark GSD eyes--I just
want to
hold her and hug her and bring her to a safe place.................her pic
is
in the first row about 2/3 way down on the page
Below is an excerpt from this page http://sirius.2kat.net/Peixiun.html
which has MANY pictures on it--along with the German Shepherd
The following is a report from Craig Smith, New York Times Correspondent
previously based in Shanghei.
'I did not see a slaughter - as I arrived at one of the places where it is
done shortly after the people there had finished. They offered to slaughter
a
few for me so I could watch, but I declined. Basically, the dogs are bled to
death and then skinned but the people who did this indicated that whether
the dog
was actually dead or not at the time it was skinned is a difficult question
to answer as they are often still kicking or otherwise moving and
occasionally
dogs believed to be dead try to get up once cut down from the place at which
they are bled (hanging from a hind leg). It is a horrible process.
'Peixian butchers 300,000 dogs a year, half for local consumption and half
for export to other parts of China and both Koreas.
'Trussed dogs, their jaws tied shut and some with their forepaws tied behind
their backs presumably to make them easier to handle, are a common site. The
locals deny that the dogs are tortured before slaughter to infuse their
muscles
with tenderizing adrenaline, as animal rights activists charge is the case
elsewhere in China. But the slaughter isn't something someone of weak
constitution would want to see.
'In a small village of brick-walled courtyards not far from Mr. Han's farm,
Wang Junhua showed a visitor where he slaughters and skins as many as twenty
dogs at a time: a series of bloody puddles beneath a cross beam affixed to a
line of weeping willow trees. Mr. Wang first cuts the dogs throats and
bleeds
them before hooking them through the lower jaw and hanging them from the
crossbeam. Then he guts them and skins them, he explained, gesturing with a
cheerful
matter-of-factness.
'The whole operation is done in just a few minutes to keep the meat fresh.
Whether or not the dogs are still alive when skinned is a matter of debate.
' "A dog's life force is very strong," says An Jianshe, Dawn Fine Bred's
sales manager. "Even after its been hanging for a while, if you let it down
sometimes it will come alive."
'After it's skinned, the dog is quartered and soaked in cold water for about
an hour before cooking. Mr. Wang stews his dog in a huge galvanized
cauldron,
head, paws, tails and all. The intestines are stuffed into the stomachs and
stewed, too, looking something like balls of smoked mozzarella.'

I started this email at work today but was too upset to finish it so now
here
I am at home and I just cant get this horror out of my mind.
I dont know if there is anything anyone can do about this--they have been

Just dont know......this is a nightmare.
