SO TRUE!!!!!! I WILL eat my fish if it will save my family!!!! Same concept!!!

Not so much the same concept.. Fish don't have the feeling/emotion of a higher developed animal..




lol@oddballer..
 
Again this is China! So, are we supposed to start a new debate on the differences between east and west relating to animals?

The "topic" is perfectly defined by Li. So lets not wander "off topic";)

sad video but i agree with druu. not much difference than they way chickens and cows are treated here in the US. what a lot of people dont understand is that this is a way of life in less developed countries. yeah its sickening, but some do what you gotta do to eat and survive.

do you think youd be worrying about animal rights if you didnt have food on your plate or a place to sleep?


I'm studying business and economy because of my current job... and I can assure you China is EVERYTHING but a "less developped country"! :eek:
A few years from now it will have well taken the US's top economical status there is no doubt of that! The rate at which their country's economy is growing is simply PHENOMENAL... and if you simply look at Walmart, Dolorama, Kmart, and other huge corps like that, you will notice that China has already taken up a huge hold of north American markets! Heck, when you make any business plan here in Canada you now need to have an elaborate strategy for facing the upcoming Chinese market which offers such low prices that it becomes nearly impossible for many a company to compete with them... and that in our own country! :(
Its not for nothing that every one shops at Walmart and such, the cheap labour in China (if not to say slavery) allows them to sell items 10x less than we price, thus even our huge coorporates buy masses from them so that they can afford cheap prices. In like 3 years, China has doubled every part of its economy!!!

very true but this is still limited to certain provinces yet it affects the entire world economy..... keep in mind economic growth/development is different than social growth/development.......

LMAO this is ridiculous. animals dont have emotions and feelings. they dont have the mental capacity to do so. this is typical USA delusional thinking :screwy:

A few years from now, I think not. China already has economic superiority over the US. You just can't compete with 7 billion Chinese. The only reason the Chinese keep us involved, is because of our buying power. We are a society of consumers, the Chinese realize the potential, and exploit it. China is a highly developed country for certain. They just have very different views on what is, and is not food. It's like the guy in the clip (the one who was interviewed) mentioned: he's so poor, why would he worry about the avian flu? With so many mouths to feed, everything becomes food.

This topic evokes such an emotional response from Westerners like us, because we have been taught, through our upbringing, that these animals are our companions, not our food. I don't like seeing it any more than anyone else, but I can be rational enough to understand that many Asian cultures view these animals much the same as we view domesticated cattle.

Just trying to help you out j!
 
All the fish keepers are getting upset when they take fish out of there enviroment and stuff them in glass boxes like that is so much better.
Go to a American slaughter house and see how your Hamburgers and Hotdogs are made. They should make it mandatory to go. People are way to sensitive today. Go check out a cramped stinky Chicken farm in the states. It doesnt look much better.

China and there technology are nothing but what the U.S. used to be. Just because they are behind us in development we think we should critique there every move.
