Animals Also Killed & Abused In China!
With all of the talk about China's poor human rights and limited freedoms for their people, the topic of how horrid their animal rights are has been lost in the mix. China has a horrible record of animal rights, with no laws protecting small animals which are often skinned alive for their fur and meat. Recently China has ordered dog meat (warning, link has sad picture) to be taken off the menu at its 112 official Olympic restaurants in Beijing. Dogs are a common meat source in China, so they have made this rule in order to avoid offending foreign visitors. It has been reported that dogs are also often skinned and butchered alive, as it is thought that the meat tastes better when the dog is in excruciating agony when they are killed. Many companies like Eli Lilly outsource their animal testing research to China because they are able to avoid nearly all the laws against animal cruelty that we have in the US.
The Chinese are big fans of horse fighting as well, where stallions are whipped into a
Bear farming has been another disgusting and cruel practice in China since the 1990s. The bears are cut open while they are alive, and their bile is extracted for use in traditional Chinese medicine. Their wounds are then kept open so that they can continue to remove the bile daily. The bears are usually kept in very small cages that don't support their size, which often causes the bears to self mutilate themselves. The cubs at the farms are taken away from their mothers when they are as young as three months of age, but in the wild they stay with their mothers until they are eighteen months old. The bear farms also jeopardize the wild bears as they are often captured and killed for the farms production.
Bear farms were trying to become registered as commercial captive breeding centres under CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, of which China is a signatory), in order to allow international trade of bear bile. If this was to occur, the trading of the bear bile would lead to consumer products such as bear soap, facial cream, wine, eye drops, and anything else you can think of. Although the human rights issues of China take a center stage, the lack of animal rights in China is despicable. The cruelty to animals goes on and on with no end in sight. I have listed a petition below that is dedicated to stopping this cruelty. The petition ends AUGUST 14th, so sign it now!

If you need some proof of how animals are tortured for their fur - read these reports investigated by Care for the Wild International.

I would like to see sources on dog torture, as I could not find a single reliable source that confirms such a horrible practice. In most food animals, stress before slaughter is actually known to result in a lower pH levels of the meat, which can reduce its flavor and water retention qualities. I don't see why dogs would be any different. (http://ag.ansc.purdue.edu/meat_quality/mqf_stress.html)
Practically speaking, the logistics required to skin a dog alive would probably make dog meat ridiculously unprofitable. Even puppies can give a good fight when they are put in a situation they don't like. Skinning a dog with enough meat to sell while it's still conscious enough to experience "excruciating agony" just doesn't seem like a practical way to mass produce meat, especially when you consider there is the high likelihood of the product becoming damaged in the process.
Furthermore, dog meat is not a common source of meat in China. According to the NY Times, only 300,000 dogs are slaughtered a year, with half being exported. Divide 150,000 dogs by 1 billion people and see if you can consider it a common food. For comparison, 90,000 cows are slaughtered in a day in the US alone, and you get much more meat from a cow.

Please try not to elicit reactions without first consulting facts.
Do a search on Google for: skinning dogs alive china
and there are plenty of sources, videos, pictures and the like. Peta has a bunch of extremely graphic videos of this practice on their site as well as many other news based sites.

Interesting to find out all this information. However your choice of words is offensive. America consumes pigs, cows, chickens and other various animals. Spain has been known for bullfighting. All this negative light on China and previously Korea during the World Cup (for eating dogs) is undeserved. This is their CULTURE. How can you say that some people eating certain animals is okay and others aren't? That's pure arrogance. Yeah dogs are cute, and yeah I would personally never eat one. Or a bear or whatever. However for you to judge a culture based in an entirely different area of the world and ridicule them for their cuisine and such is entirely unjustified. Many Hindus in India don't complain and hate Americans for their choice to eat cows. This is an example of arrogance typical in Western cultures. I realize that it is a popular thing to criticize whichever nation is hosting a world event such as the Olympics or World Cup. However this type of prejudice and selective heroism concerning animals is ridiculous. Please re-think and reserve your judgment on foreign cultures just because you don't understand them. It's not up to you to decide what's socially acceptable or not.
