Dolphins are cute, too. Mmmm, dolphin. The other, other white meat.

Oh, the American meat industry is terrible. Anyone here could make a thread about how bad it is and I would agree wholeheartedly. America has to either fix that or own it. But criticizing the American meat industry isn't an attack on America or Americans. That's my main point here.

Dude, you started this whole argument by saying Chinese people can't resist a big doggy cookout, lol

 

[HisImperialMajesty]

Cage free isn't really much better.

Looks like warehouse rave, which is always a good time.

Edit: There's like a VIP section on the top left too. Lol wtf

 

[adamsappel]

Go to bumfuck West Virginia I'm sure you'll find Appalachian dudes eating road kill and other varmints.

Stop being racists / xenophobes / morally superior ignorant dummies.

This post represents the duality of man, or something, right?

 

[post-S]

I’ve always thought the argument that cute animal shouldn't be served as food is quite hypocritical.

I mean young chicken are probably the cutest animal I've seen yet people eat them all the time.

 

[NewGame]

ITT: casual racism against Chinese people.

I expect to see you copypaste this comment into every G/A/F thread that pops up to show how much you really care about the casual racism.





And if you don't we will know.

I would like to try cat at some point. Can't see myself going to China any time soon though.

true story

chicks are adorable AF

but give em a few years and ho boy, are they tasty

I'd love to eat some German Shepard

fucking hate those violent little pieces of shit

probably taste like old tuna and hatred

 

[Kyuur]

The amount he sells them for speaks volumes to the stray issue they probably have there. I wonder if fixing cats is uncommon over there.

I didn't make any judgement.

I suppose instead of "bumfuck" I could have used "rural" to use less floral language.

Didn't you say Chinese people love their doggy cookouts?

Backpedaling to the maximum indeed.

 

[Zok310]

Outta all the flesh on the earth to eat some in China choose a dog or cat. What I wanna know is where do they draw the line? Fitting to ask what the fuck won't some of them eat at this point.

how so? neotenous features and a capacity for affection are innately appreciated by humans, as is the concept of suffering being the worst possible experience of a living creature.
Going out of your way to pretend you're hardcore and don't care just makes me think you're either trying too hard to impress....someone? or just lack empathy, not specifically toward the animals, but toward people who don't find it appealing at all.

Says the vegetarian ?

when did this get a negative connotation?

Pretty sure no one in China wants to eat cats as it is said that cat meat has a disgusting taste.
I think those restaurants are trying to serve cheap cat meat to customers as beef/pork/lamb. After being processed with spice and such, it's really hard to tell. I've read news about restaurants using rat meat for such purpose.

Ok cool

 

[Miles X]

It's a stereotype so yes it is racist. All stereotypes have an origin. A small percentage of Chinese people eat cats and dogs. Some also eat lots of bugs. But its the minority.

It's not a stereotype, it's legal in China.

 

[wandering]

It's not a stereotype, it's legal in China.

It's legal in Canada, most of the US, and several European countries.

 

[Ashhong]

They sell live cats? I don't even want to think about how the restaurants "prep" the animals...

Also, I want to see the video of 500 cats escaping at once

 

[LiK]

FYI, not everyone eats dogs and cats in China. It's like saying all Americans eat deer and rabbits. Not everyone is into that like the usual meats.

 

[dragonelite]

Don't they hunt cats in Australia, kinda important game over there with the wild cats problem.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

It's frowned upon to eat cute animals k

But lambs are cute and they taste good.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

It's not a stereotype, it's legal in China.

Are you for real? Something being legal doesn't mean everyone is does it.

Gun ownership is legal in America, so are all Americans gun wielding maniacs?

I'll eat livestock but I won't eat anything domesticated. I think there is a difference between livestock and domesticated.

I used to be vegetarian myself for 4+ years. Not saying anything wrong with it... I'm saying how is he talking about "drawing a line" on what animals Chinese can eat, like some animals are more worthy of being slaughtered for grub than other animals? If you are gonna eat meat then any animal is fair game besides endangered things I would think. But even then I guess that's debatable. Eat meat or don't, but don't act morally superior because you don't eat dog while at the same time you eat other meats.

 

[Apath]

I don't know about all Americans being maniacs, but considering something like 40% of Americans own guns, I wouldn't consider that insignificant whatsoever.

Meanwhile, I feel that killing a dog to eat it would be considered animal cruelty here. Is there no law against consuming dog in general? Because I'd be very surprised if it were legal to kill a dog to eat it.

I'll eat livestock but I won't eat anything domesticated. I think there is a difference between livestock and domesticated.

All livestock have been domesticated. Unless you're trying to say that some animals are domesticated for food and some for companionship, which I think is agreeable.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

But its legal so it must be true.

 

[ZackieChan]

I live in the US and I know cops who have busted local Chinese restaurants for serving cat. Probably 10 years ago now.

Where in the US? Got any links?

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

But lambs are cute and they taste good.

Id wager that's because people don't kill them their selves
out of sight out of mind?

being able to look at these animals that look expressively sad and just cut their throats seems to me like it requires some significant detachment

 

[AtomskEater]

I ate horse once, it was good. A lot of places eat horse, goat, whatever. Pigs are hella cute, smart, and are raised to be dependent on people. They're also delicious and eaten without a second thought. I try not to be too judgy about what other people are eating, as long as it's not endangered or someone's fucking pet (or being served without the diner's full knowledge of what they're eating). What this dude did was so, so wrong.

WTF?! I thought the eating cats and dogs thing was just racist bullshit. China you got problems.

I live in england and there was a local news story of a chinese restaurant in a local village with a freezer full of cats, it happens

 

[GermanZepp]

Poor animals. Sad news. I dream with a meatless future.

But deer is amazing.
