It just bothers me that someone might think I'm suddenly racist just because I said Japan doesn't have good animal laws. I know a few laws in Canada that I'm not happy with, including some animal laws. It doesn't mean I think all Canadians hate animals.
Exactly. No one here said we were against the Japanese or that no Japanese person cared for animals. I know that to not be true, since I have many Japanese people in my family. Denny, my dad, LOVES animals! I mean, gee, they have three cats, a fire bellied toad (which my brother has had for ten years!!! can you believe it? ), plus the tiels and budgie etc. He grew up with dogs and used to have two Golden Retrievers. He is an animal lover just like us Americans.
