This is an excellent opinion piece by Ian O'Doherty from the Irish Independent. He points out that we should continue pointing out animal and human rights abuses by China, regardless of the issue of "cultural respect." There is a sad story about a collie befriended by a Salon reporter while in China, PLUS a graphic description of a dog being slaughtered, so be warned.The only point of disagreement I have with the writer is that he says farm animals and companion animals are not the same and we are idiots for saying otherwise. I disagree completely (tell me the difference between a pig and a dog in terms of intelligence and emotion.)
