I understand that this is a sensitive subject and is not everyones cup of tea but you are the master of what you read so if it bothers you my advice would be to stop reading it.

As long as the animals are killed in a humane way then I don't really see the issue. Her beliefs are not the same as mine but I understand that this is her culture and her beliefs. I'm also not against people in china eating cats. It's not my culture and I wouldn't do it but who am I to say it's wrong.

There is no good reason to delete the thread. If you can't stomach it don't read it. This thread opens a little door that allows us a peek into another culture.

Also...really it is not different from a farmer raising a cow or a pig and then butchering it...really whats the difference? Many kids I know in 4H do the same thing.

If that 4-H'er came on here gloating, I would say the same thing. It is a Pet site....not a slaughter site, or a farm site, etc.

As for reading it or not, I suspected that would be an easy target. But, the fact remains, it is on a Pet site, with a fairly large "catchy" title. I think of others that might be bothered by it, but don't post. I think of a visitor to our site seeing it and thinking, "wow, this works for them?". Me? I am pretty used to having an opposing view, and feel strongly enough about my convictions to post and get flamed for it.

Well I agree with you that it doesn't belong here.
