Ok, one other thing, you're probably not going to like me much after this, but, sure here goes:

My thoughts;
Some people don't eat meat, some people eat meat. I eat meat. Cows included. Freedom of choice.
Cows are sacred animals in India, I wonder do they hate me and my kind? This is an example. What I'm trying to say is this- If the Chinese eat cats or dogs it is their social conditioning, they probably don't see anything wrong, even though I do. If I do, that is my social conditioning. It is not the eating of the animal that is the problem, it is a fact of life, although personally I find it abhorent(isn't that a double standard?). It is the cruelty endured by the animal that really gets me. I just can't go the torture:- I don't get it. Why? You know my heart bleeds for them, whether they be cats horses, cows, you name it, in any country including my own.... I have absolutley no comprehension of the "why?" of it. What more can I say?

I don't expect anyone to agree, and I'm not going to argue my stance with anyone, I just wanted to say how I see it! Please don't take offence, it is not meant. I too personise my babies, give them names, baby them, run to the vet and would die if anything happened to them, and am so glad that I don't live in China, or India for that matter!
