Nepal and Tibet are two countries. Nepal is not in Tibet.

I had to google it to be honest.


OK, I understand why everyone is outraged about the killing of all those poor kitties, but I can't understand why that seems to bother some people more then human rights abuse. I wont be watching the Olympics, partly because I rarely do anyway and partly because I don't agree with China's lack of human rights. The slaughter of cats is lower on my list then the slaughter of human beings.

I think it is a shame that China is hosting the Olympics, but it is by far too late to do anything about it. All these people with who are doing the whole mass protests, I wonder where they were when China was only a contender as an Olympic host. It seems to be a lot of people just hopping on a bandwagon (I am not referring to this thread, but to the people who are sabotaging the torch relay, etc).

It is a sad situation overall, but if one good thing can come out of it, it is the awareness of what is happening over there.

The slaughter of living beings is the slaughter of living beings. I think a stand against unnecessary killing in any circumstance is needed...picking particular classes of beings is pointless.

Besides, the way a person or a society treats animals is a pretty good indication of how they treat helpless human beings.

Well this country euthanizes millions of animals too but thankfully we do not slaughter a segment of our society that is different.

Well said, Jackie!

caseysmom...I was actually thinking more about the studies that have shown that humans who abuse animals as kids or a older often wind up hurting humans as well.

Euthanasia is horrible - but it beats China's spreading lies about cats causing SARS, etc, cramming cats in cages and just leaving them to die...or people beating cats and dogs to death with sticks.

I think the intent of the animal killers in China is a bit different than the vast majority of places who have to euthanise homeless pets...
