The cat and dog meat trade does expose the animals to much cruelty. BUT, I have Chinese students who point out to me the cruelty inflicted upon turkeys who are raised in this country. They say we think nothing of eating these birds for our "national holiday". They get a bit offended when WE point fingers at them. When I say I am against ALL animal cruelty they respond by telling me to have our country clean up our act before we accuse others of cruel acts. In other words, they don't want to hear it until it is not an issue in our country. They have a point. We find it abhorrent because it is dogs and cats, but we treat our poultry, pork, and beef food animals little better. I say we work WITH people to end this, not attack them. That will do little good and make us look like total hypocrites.
