If they have to, humane killing is the way to do it..and they certainly don't. Some places have the equivalent of picking a live lobster from a tank...if you follow me.

Yes, it bothers me that it's done - but more, it's HOW it is done. I think our commercial cattle are better kept and slaughtered than the dogs and cats in Asian restaurants.

However, China and other countries have great numbers of pet lovers as well...so this may change from within.
