Girl Leads Guangdong Protest Against Eating Cats

angle是个很有爱心的小MM,才17岁。

From Mop:

While working this afternoon [20 December 2008], I received a telephone call saying that a batch of cats were going to be shipped to Guangzhou, asking everyone to bring cat food, water, etc. and go rescue the cats. Even though we are Guangdong people [Cantonese] , we long ago despised those heartless Guangdong people who eat cats, these people having made all of us lose face. Cats, dogs, all are very kind-hearted, affectionate animals, and absolutely should not be eaten. Moreover, eating cats or dogs is not healthy and not hygienic, none of them having been inspected by the Food Safety Administration, so who knows why these damned people would go eat them. Today, we want to go stop these cats pitiful fate, using all of our power to go save them.

If they were serious, they would not eat anything with a face, on one hand eating mutton and on the other hand discussion how to stop others from eating cats, NB people.

You people, with your so-called compassion, why do you not go help disaster areas or with Hope projects?
You people, with so much time on your hands, why do you not go study hard or work hard?
You people, with such an intense sense of justice, why do you not go crack down on crime or prevent corruption?
A 17-year-old MM as the leader? Have you graduated from middle school yet?
Only knowing how to blindly cause disturbances!
If you saw someone stealing a pursue, robbing, or bullying others, would you go stop them?
You guys have too much time on your hands, do not use your hypocrisy to show off your guys’ compassion!
You not eating cats does not mean you are great and pure!
Although I have never eaten cat meat, I never felt that cats cannot be eaten. After seeing this post, I decided that I must try the taste of cat meat in the future.

Would it not be easier to just kill all Guangdong people?
Wasting all that energy just to go stop a train…

SB250, if you have the compassion, go be concerned about the disaster areas, okay?

Kitty cats are so cute, how can you manage to eat them?

Who will come rescue our cute pigs?!

Pigs, my poor pigs! You cruel people! How can you do this to pigs?! I call forth all Moppers who love pigs to also come surround and forcibly stop trains! The big pig rescue operation/movement!

I do not promote nor am I against eating cat, but when a few people stopping others from eating cats I bet the pigs, cows, and sheep all feel puzzled.

When sleeping at night, do not TMD swat mosquitoes. Such false kind-heartedness.

The reason humans raise animals is to resolve the problem of finding food. When food became sufficient, it gave rise to pets and related things. So, eating cats is actually not a problem, not worth going against or worth supporting. Treat it as normal. When a cat is your own pet, take good care of it, but when it becomes food, it is also not worth fighting against.

If she brings it home, would she be able to raise it? Where would she raise it?
If you do not cull cats [for epidemic prevention], they will the same as mice as a source of disease.

Those people who eat [cats] will all get their just deserts. I support that young girl’s actions, but depending on just her efforts as one person simply will not change much. If the government does not care, our concern as ordinary people is not much use. Cats have souls, those who eat them will get retribution…

The main thing is that their way of eating cats is too cruel, so I suggest killing them more quickly [humanely]. Boiling them alive…too “KB” [恐怖 = kongbu = terrifying]!!! Kill them quickly like the way pigs are killed, then eat them~~~cows, horses, pigs, sheep, which of these are not known as humanity’s friends? So why do we not see people go rescue them?! Unless you are a vegetarian, you have no qualifications to say anything.

Too cruel, can it be that they do not know ecological balance?

Either you buy them and take him home to raise, or you shut your mouth and quietly stay at home.

NB people, you guys pay so much attention to a single cat’s fate, yet there are so many homeless bums on the streets of Guangzhou, so many laid-off unemployed workers, but do you pay attention to them?!? Stop pretending like you guys have so much compassion. Remember, that is not called compassion. When you do not even go pay attention to human conditions, do not tarnish the word “compassion!”

I agree with most of the above people’s views, this MM is indeed a S…B…, with nothing better to do.
You see so many pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, they are also pretty cute animals, so why do you not also go stop their [shipping] trucks/trains? Is it only because cats and dogs are a bit more cute?
Also, do not compare cats and dogs with humans.

You guys probably have never raised cats before~~underestimating their reproduction abilities…if people do not eat them..they will eat people into poverty…even though I do not eat cats and dogs…

There are no Guangdong people who do not eat [cat meat]!

To protect these little animals only depending individual people’s strength is difficult to implement/realize~
I hope everyone can unite together to fight against this kind of disgusting behavior!
Poor cats and dogs.

Specially set up a cat-raising factory/farm, that is specially responsible for raising cat-meat.
If you want people to treat eating cat meat the same as eating pork and beef, first set up a cat-raising factory/farm.

I do not like cats, I like dogs, hehe, but I too have never eaten cat meat, and feel it is pretty cruel. In the past, I had dog meat once, but after that, I have never eaten it again. It is too too too cruel, and I could not swallow it. They are all the same as humans, have thoughts, have brains, and have souls. I am truly afraid they will come find us after they are dead [as ghosts]~

Only those who have seen dogs and cats being killed believe it is cruel.

  1. I am very proud of this young girl for drawing attention to this issue. It is one of many… but to those people who are leaving those comments about how she should stand up for something else instead, then you should take a good look at the world. There are literally MILLIONS of problems, many of them unheard of to the majority of various populations. There is no need to belittle her act because you might think others are more important. She has managed to expand my knowledge on this issue, and I thank her and all the other supporters for that.

  2. FYI, the German had their own receipe to prepare for dog meat, aka the “blockade mutton”. Dog meat eating was prohibited in Germany since 1986 for obvious reasons. Fox meat were also one of their favorite.

    What I am trying to point out is, that culture value changes upon social behavior and developments, just that the Chinese is still one step behind more “humane” western societies. When dogs and cats domestication reaches a certain percentage in China’s population, I’m sure things will change.

    Although you can use S.Korea to counter my points, they LOVE dog meat and their tradition.

    BTW, the Guangdong/Guangzhou bashers. How many of you have been to Guangzhou? Yes there are some “wild taste” restaurants hiding somewhere in the alley and rural areas, but finding dog/cat/snake(especially live ones) meats in public restaurants in GZ is as hard as finding a virgin in U.S. college. And all the hype about 水煮活猫, it’s not even a cantonese dish, “water boiling” with tons of chili, is a SiChuan way to prepare food, Cantonese don’t eat spices. Get yall facts straight!

  3. @ e about internet

    Chinese invented Gun powder.

    Gun Power > Guns & Cannon > Global Imperialism > Industrialization > Cyber Age.

    So logically speaking, the Chinese is your great great grand daddy of invention.

    And….. guess who invented the first calculating device?

  4. The killing of animals in some back alley fashion is horrible no matter what kind of animal it is. Eating meat and foods that have not been tested and certified is unhealthy and backwards. I think it is inhumane to treat any animal poorly.
    These people are brave, intelligent and far more inspirational than the people who have commented above. Animal Cruelty has NOTHING to do with disaster relief. They way you treat animals reflects the way you will treat humans as well. Humans can not go around killing and eating whatever they want just because they feel like it especially household pets that are caught by profiteers. I have been to Guangzhou and other parts of China and seen various form of extreme animal cruelty. Wild Monkeys being used as entertainers and beaten if they do not perform China is not a civilized place for people or animals and this is without any disasters. It is rare to find people who care about anything but money there and I am so proud of these protesters. Live is valuable no matter if it is an animals or a humans.

  5. Because of the world wide internet. Everyone on earth can see that Chinese people are eating cats?? I am here in America, California. And I can see this news story. Eating cats will give Chinese people a bad reputation and bad name. People around the world will think Chinese are crazy. You must stop eating cats, dogs, and other endangered animals.
    A good reputation (name) is very important for chinese people to be successful in this world.
    This 17 year old girl is very brave and I am proud of her. Someday , she will be a good leader for china.

  6. This is proof that not all chinese people are fucked. Good on these activists, they are preserving the honor of the Chinese (Cantonese) people. See the rest of the world thinks China sucks ass massively because of skinning animals alive for the fur trade, by the million, eating cats and dogs and endless human rights abuses. People like Angle deserve to raised upon peoples shoulders and nominated as leaders, because they are far more decent people than the current leaders of China. Angle, people like you are the saving grace of your entire nation. Much respect to you.

  7. One day i am going to kick the people buts who eat cats so china watch out if i hear that again i will murder cat eaters

  8. I personally wouldn’t eat cat, but if that’s what they need to do to survive, so be it. IMO it’s just culture shock.

  9. Thank goodness there are people speaking out against this atrocity, as well as other atrocities committed against animals in China such as skinning dogs alive for their fur. Cats are affectionate, intelligent beings that make wonderful companions….They should NEVER be used as food. And there is no excuse for transporting ANY animal, regardless of species, in such an inhumane manner.

  10. i love the look on the police officer with glasses’ face in the picture “After looking at our fliers, they left.”

  11. So glad that there are people in this country really would stand out to speak for those poor little animals. You did a good job girl!I gave this country up for those matters long time ago but i guess you just raised up my hope again! Thanks!

  12. Wow, you’re kidding right?
    Chinese have been eating cats for centuries,
    China’s government is one of the most non-changing around,
    Chinese hate being told what they can/can’t do,
    What are they going to eat if they can’t have cat?
    The feline population would be even more out of control in China if you let them alone.
    I agree eating them is a despicable idea, but they’re just animals, not people, not endangered.
    Grow up and put your efforts towards a better goal like ending hunger, poverty, protesting against your 5000 years of culture bullsh*t maoist government that lets people eat cats in the first place.
    Cardboard signs at railway stations doesn’t help.
    Oh I forgot why you can’t protest, you might be jailed or beaten by the police. After which you’ll have no hello kitty cell phone or backstreet boys album to listen to.
    Nice pictures but looks like nothing was actually accomplished except this blog of your failed attempt.

  13. I love animals.I dont want them to get hurt.they dont deserve wat their owners do 2 them.I would like 2 protest plezzz.i beg of u just help me save the animals.

  14. Come on Swine Flu merge with Sars and do your thing, with these retards.
    I guess we have to wait until the fall to see what happens with the Swine Flu.

    For the rest of retards who post here and say cats are worthless animals and compare them to pigs. You are idiots. How can you compare farm domesticated animal bred for human consumption to cats which carry viruses that can not be controlled by the human body.
    SARS started from eating Civet cats, a delicacy in china, I don’t think it came just from eating Civet cats, it’s from long term exposure of eating cats and dogs.
    The swine flu will most certaintly mutate, into a more lethal form.
    Unfortunately the people who don’t eat cats and dogs will die or become sick along wiht people who enjoy a puppy sandwich.

    • Dr. Retarded Lucy,

      So you saying cats carry virus and shouldn’t be eating or whatever, then where the f the swine flu came from? I believe it’s from pigs, and then there are ring worms and mad cow disease…OMFG!

      And yes, pray to the lord, wish for more virus kill those Chinese, because eating cats and dogs is a serious crime and human lives is nothing compare to that of a cat or dog, God will agree with you kind and blessed heart.

      You see what the problem is here? When you dimwits confront with a culture you don’t understand, all you think of doing is to kill, to eradicate, to disgust, to
      accuse and cuss at….the very reason you Americans are being targeted by terrorists, because of your retarded ego and that I-am-right-you-are-wrong-so-die! attitude.

      The girl in this thread is doing what’s positive and constructive, to voice her opinion, to educate, to communicate, to pursuade and change. In comparison to her, the low-life is you!

  15. It’s so sad that any animal is eaten for another animal, but thats the way the world is. What worries me more is the way animals are treated before they end up on the dinner table. We cannot stop nature being nature but we can at least stop the inhumane treatment of ALL animals before they are slaughtered.
    I personally would never eat a cat or a dog or a horse, and I realise that everyone has a differnet opinion on what they eat. What we can do is change the laws around their treatment at ALL times regardless of thier purpose, pets or food.

  16. How about UK send swine flu over there then they will be to sick to hurt cats!!! come on UK Do it

  17. i would like to start off .. by saying~~~~!!wtf to all u chinese ppl out there eating cats or dogs…they where never considered as food.. but as loyal pets who will be there for u n by ur side…im am furious nd if there is any mean possible to stop this fucked up massacre..funding…you guys sghould be ashamed of urselfs!!!!!! nobody is actin its just talk n its all aload of bull!!!!! u should start up an animal welfare law…that will protect those poor souls… to all the ppl who eat cats n dogs especial… i hope u fuckin rot n hell… ur just maggots of life…. who r supposed to be killed n fed to rats to snack on …and after thrown n the bin…ACCCCCCCCCCCCCT DAMN IT!!!

  18. I support these people 100% Keep doing what you are doing and save these cats!

  19. You realize China’s animal cruelty is viewed as disgusting in the Western countries. Multitudes of animal lovers deliberately BOYCOTT China products as much as possible due to the animal cruelty, which is known far and wide all across America. We know about the 10,000 cats boiled alive daily in Guangdong China. We know about the dog cullings. And we cry, and we Americans get angry and boycott Chinese products. USA in every State has animal welfare laws, and there are Federal laws too that govern animal welfare. Please see Petition:

    http://animalrights.change.org/actions/view/message_to_china_pass_animal_welfare_law_for_western_acceptance

    • Obviously, Luke Thomas, you don’t know jack shit.

      China has animal protection laws too, that’s why no restaurant openly sells cat or other exotic meat on the menu, it’s illegal and will face a heavy fine. You can only find these in little underground kitchens in the back alley. Like sniffing up cocaine is illegal, but there are still lots of place you can get a fix in America.

      You make it sound like eating dog and cat is a big food industry and commercialized, you don’t know what you talking about, you must be wetodded to believe in just whatever numbers thrown at you. Those train packed with cats are also illegally shipped, the train operators were bribed. The law is here, but enforcement level is weak.

      Blame all Chinese and entire China for animal cruelty when just a small number of them, mostly old fools, eat dogs and cats is call stereotype and I think AMERICA has a law against that too?

      You havn’t realize that China’s economy is turning inward and domestically consumed? Meaning…we-dont-give-a-flying-phuck when you try to boycott us, LOL…find out yourself how many US companies trying to squeeze in the China market trying to sell their goods here, LOL…maybe we should boycott you instead…hmmm.

      • China has NO animal protection laws whatsoever. I know this to be fact. Even in China Daily it reported you all boil alive 10,000 cats a day. So don’t try to pull your propaganda bull crap with me-it won’t work.

    • Oh, and before you BOYCOTT!!111!! Please pay back the 11 trillions dollars you owe to the Chinese government, we are your biggest loaner, the very reason you can still afford food today.

  20. Hmmm… China is too big and to be honest I personally find what the Cantonese do quite disgusting when it comes to their eat-anything-that-moves culinary culture. I wish we were just different countries so that I don’t have to share this identity, Chinese, with them because we are so different that it becomes annoying when someone does something stupid, all Chinese get labeled.

    We speak different languages, we have noticeably different gene pools, we cook differently, we eat different food, we value things in life differently and how the hell should we all be the same?

    This is truly frustrating.

  21. Why must these poor animals be boiled alive and skinned alive. That’s horrific and the conditions these cats -packed tightly and shipped like they were nothing-and obviously thrown which breaks bones. China disgusts me and I boycott as much China merchandise as humanly possible, and so do millions of other Americans due to their obvious disregard for the suffering of animals.

  22. You all can justify animal cruelty all you want, but I”m telling you the way it is with America-it is AGAINST OUR CULTURE, and we deliberately AVOID Chinese products due to their animal cruelty. We Americans know very well what you all in China do. Keep on justifying it-and we will keep on boycotting YOUR CHINA PRODUCTS! I buy American made ONLY.

    • Oh please, get off your soapbox. “Against our culture” is a load of crap. Look for vids on KFC’s practices and how they treat their chickens. Go to any industrialized farm and see how they treat all the animals there. Go to an animal welfare shelter and hear stories about all the abused cats and dogs they find and take in. The whole world has a long way to go and no one should be preaching that their country is any better than any other country in this.

  23. Dear Thomas,

    You must be a wealthy man, cuz it’s kinda hard to find anything truly made in USA these days. The only way is to hire people and produce for yourself.

    Got excited when you find them “Made in USA” clothing and other commodities once in awhile? Sorry for bring your this breaking news: most of these products are half made in China, then ship to USA and stitch up a sleeve or weld in a part, and BLAM! sticks on a Made In USA label and sell to those idealistic suckers for more bucks, LOL.

    The truth is, no one can make anything 100% in the USA when that minimum wage. Ask me how I know, LMAO.

  24. Max,

    Hmm….you felt discriminated and treated unequally due to stereotype for being a Chinese? Well, guess how the majority of the Cantonese felt when you ppl blame all the dog and cat and rat eating to all Cantonese? At least out of all my friends and relatives, I don’t know anyone that eats dogs or cats, and I live in Canton. Having 3 cats in my house, I’m the one being tortured daily. How about this, you come to Canton one day, try to find any restaurants in the city or nearby town that have cat meat openly listed on the menu, you can beat me up right on the streets, if not, vice versa.

    There might be some underground joints in the rural area that eat cats, but you can’t find them unless some one “hook you up”, you won’t find any in open public restaurants. What I know is most of these captured cats were killed and mix with sheep meats and sold as lamb kabobs, you know all those Uighurs on the streets
    all over China that sells BBQ lamb kabobs? Someone bought raw meats from these kebob vendors and found feline DNA traits in them. People are eating cat meats deliberately. But you can’t do nothing to these vendors because it will be just another wave of ethnic clashes and China will be on evening news again for brutally suppresing ethnic groups. LOL The exotic- animal-eating-will-heal-yourself superstition will die down as the new generation judge their own right and wrong, so why don’t you all just STFU and wait?

    The language is differnt tone, but the writing system is the same aren’t we? And culture wise, the traditions, the lunar new year, the harvest moon, the buddas and Daoism, how different are we? And all parts of China have ppl eating dogs, so you can’t claim yourself as a saint off this one. Simply as your parent or grand parents if they had dog meat before……yea that’s right, you Chinese, too bad. Kill yourself and better luck on your next life reincarnation.

    Did I mention that dog meat is widely prefer in Germany until the 1980′s? And still in high demand in Korea? Oh right, who cares, just blame all on the Chinese. It makes you feel so up right and righteous, God will smile at you, heaven will open its gate for you. Having a bad day? Need an imaginary bad guy to exercise your heroism? Blame China and the Chinese today! It’s Free!

  25. Kudos, “Teacher In China”

    Just because you are American doesn’t mean that your shit don’t stink.

    http://www.kfccruelty.com/

    Look at those poor poor chickens, how their beak were chopped off and systematically abused and massacred….I used to have a chic as a pet, it follows me everywhere I go, stay by my side to keep warm and has its own emotions to show, it was my best friend during my childhood…….. But YOU!! YOU DAMN Americans ABUSE THEM AND SYSTEMATICALLY GENOCIDE THEM from the moment they were born…blah blah blah……..LMAO.

    Before you point finger at others, think carefully if you are really a saint in the first place.

  26. Like I said, there is NO EXCUSE for boiling cats and dogs alive-and you all can justify your animal cruelty all you want-we in the United States will continue to BOYCOTT all China products to the best of our ability. And it is due to hideous animal cruelty. It appears to me that this 17 year old who protests boiling alive cats and dogs has more sense than the majority of you. SHAME ON YOU CHINA AND WE AMERICANS ARE 100% AWARE OF WHAT YOU ALL DO TO PETS AND WE HATE YOU ALL FOR IT.

    • What excuse? You really think ppl in China gives a rat’s ass about what you think and what you plan to do?

      You know for a fact? Have you been to China? How the hell did those rare breeds of animals like Panda, Yantze River alligators, cranes, red-face monkeys…etc get preserved and saved from extinction? These aren’t the so-called animal protection law? Ok, if you mean animal protection means for non-rare species like dogs and cats then there is none, and I highly doubt ppl in America get jailed and fined frequently when they abuse cats and dogs, just goto your local animal shelter to see all those beaten up animals yourself.

      Propaganda my arse, you hide in your little town and you think you know the entire world from your computer, LAUGHING MY ASS OFF!!! You think your source is not exagerated? Some Chinese eats dogs and cats, and you, somehow, representing the ENTIRE U.S. of A, HATE CHINA ENTIRELY? Nice fawking logic there, so the whole world should also hold every American responsible for the death of innocent civilians in the War in Iraq? All you Americans deserve to face the wrath of terrorist attacks? Hello 9/11 to you!

      Like I said, you ppl are doing nothing constructive whatsoever to change the situation, all you morons only know how to hate, curse, accuse and retaliate when things don’t go your way. In comparison to the subject of this thread, the GZCAT.ORG, which I am also a member of, you are doing nothing but making matters worse.

      So you plan to boycott China and make China poor? LOL, ok…so when the Chinese are poor, they can’t afford pork and poultry, so they gonna eat more cats and dogs…hmmm.. NICE MOVE THERE!! WHAT ARE YOU A FOUR YEARS OLD?? GROW UP!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

      • Actually millions of Westerners DO hate China because of animal cruelty. And yes we despise your country you sick twisted fucking dog and cat killers. You all deserve to rot and burn in hell. Seriously. I rejoice the fact your country is SO POLLUTED-please choke and die of the smog you all produce.

  27. You all think torturing and killing dogs and cats is a big joke-even a badge of honor-it is a world wide SHAME. You Chinese are TRULY sick EVIL ROTTEN wicked human pieces of shit that deserve to burn in hell, and you WILL. You all DISGUST ME.

    • LOL!!! The big joke here is you! A hypocrite, bigot, racist and a hater all in one! You are in the world class HALL OF SHAME.

      Yup, we’ll burn in HELL just cuz you said so, Almighty Luke. Jesus is your son.

      We all disgust you? Ask us if we care….LMAO!!!

  28. I am more concern with where they get the cats. China do have a good reputation as a bushmeat eater. And if they were using stray cats as food, another SARS epidemic hit.

  29. Luke the Holy, I’m quite curious on your perspective on how chickens are treated by KFC before they became buckets of meat served to millions of Americans.

    May you enlighten me? Just a quick search on Youtube with the key word KFC will do.

    • I’m vegan. I don’t consume any animal products, have been vegan for years and years and am perfectly healthy. I am against organized farm factories, and 100% against the meat industry. I’m afraid most Americans do not share this view. However, We American do NOT see cats and dogs as food, and find it deplorable to serve them as food and make toys and coats out of them. If you must destroy them, for God’s sake please do not torture them, do not boil them alive, do not skin them alive, do not club them to death. Can’t you all find more humane ways of killing them?

      • BTW, the only major religion in this world that preach for vegan is Buddaism, which is the most common religion in China, and an integral part of Chinese culture. Vegans are common here, I hope they don’t rot in hell or choke to death from your curse.

      • I’m 100% in agreement with you! Very well stated! Good to know there is some hope for humanity left in this world.

  30. Look if you all have to eat cats and dogs, will you all PLEASE humanely kill them? Please don’t boil them alive. Please do not skin them alive. Please quit hitting them over the head with clubs.

    • You see Luke, the biggest problem here is how you continuously using the word “ALL”, All-American, All-Chinese. When you say the word Chinese, that’s 1.4 billions of ppl. This is the same as when you see an African-American, you prejudge him being a criminal just because he’s black. When you come across a gay man, you assume he has HIV, just because he’s gay.

      I don’t mind you having hatred or even aggression on THOSE who eat cats and dogs, but when you condemn us all, you are condemning those Chinese who doesn’t eat cats and dogs and those that trying to make a change in China, like this girl in the protest.

      And I am telling you a fact, the majority of Chinese, especially those born after 70′s, 80′s and 90′s, do not eat and ARE against eating dog and cat meats. Believe me or not, call it BS or propaganda, I don’t give a fuck!

      I have 3 cats, 2 were adopted, living in the demonized city of Guangzhou, and in the same forum as this girl in GZcat.org, ask the mods to reveal my IP if you don’t believe me and cross check on the gzcat forum. And alot of my neighbors also have dogs and cats as pets, it’s becoming very common to have house pets now so sentimental level for cats and dogs is raising rapidly in China, it woulnd’t be possible for anyone to think of such protest 10 years ago in China. Because dogs and cats, even domesticated, are used solely for the purpose of guarding properties and catching rodents.

    • What I do, to take part in making a change, is simply “Communication”, not HATE.

      I lecture those around me how retarded it is to think dog and cat meats have any medical value, this is the main reason why they are still being eaten, it’s the “marketing” strategy for those selling dog and cat meats. Cat and dog meats are at least 2-3 times more expensive than pork, poultry and beef, they are not consumed as daily food.

      I pursuade people I know that have pets to neuter their pets as soon as possible, unless it’s a special breed worthy of continue its bloodline. The biggest problem is a kid finds a cute kitten selling on the street, their parents bought it and 6 months later, when the cat matures, it either moan all night long or piss on the floor to spread its scent, the parent will find it annoying and throw it out of the house or let it go feral. The pet turns stray, mate with other pets of the same fate, and you will get hundreds of litters out on the street and all becoming live prey for those seeking profit…..the cost is zero.

      Neutering a pet doesn’t cost much these days, it’s less than the cost of supplying a month of pet food, but somehow the Chinese culture treats the act of neutering as a taboo and rather set them “free” out on the street, and imagine they living their lives happily ever after…the fact is, these cats will either get run over by cars, or round up and killed by authroities as rabies is a serious problem in China. And then there are those who catch them and sell them as food.

      When a friend come to my house and say how cute my cats are and want to get one for themselve, I ask them if they are prepared to take them in for a lifetime, and warn them all the inconvenience it will bring them and how I will kick their ass if they ever abandon them. Most would back out from getting a cat after they learn the facts…it’s not easy to live with cat hair stuck up in your nose when you sleep and scratched up furnitures, LOL.

      The common Chinese saying is that “1 affects 10, 10 affect 100″. So hopefully, if i can make influence to those around me, and they can continue to make influence to those around them and to their kids, 1 or 2 generations later, animal cruelty and the obession of eating non-main stream animals will become obsolete.

      I don’t find anyone here being constructive to the problem, only becoming a part of the problem, not solution. I’m done with this thread here, some of you here are simply exploiting this age-old topic of “Chinese eat dogs and cats” to vent your own hatred and bias, to boost your own mentality for superiority…you ppl need help.

      • Neo, I have to agree with you on your last posting…it’s all about education and making people realise that what they are doing is totally wrong. I think the main problem with what’s going on in China at the moment is the cruelty that is involved….seeing those poor cats crated like that is absolutely heartbreaking and hearing about dogs and cats being skinned alive :( Yes, people eat meat and they always will do but anyone can see that it is downright cruelty and showing total disregard for something that is living and breathing by treating these animals as they do. I totally applaud what this young girl is doing and hopefully it’s a start to making a difference….I do cat rescue in the UK and deal with feral cats…having them spayed/neutered and youngsters tamed down and rehomed. Everyone who loves animals should work together in trying to make this world a better place for all animals…yes, I joined sites that boycotted the Chinese but I have now realised there are some good guys out there that are trying to do their bit…there is good and bad in every culture and not everyone is the same….lets all try and work together in putting a stop to this torture instead of arguing….and those making stupid comments….you really should be ashamed of yourself and yes, I do believe in Karma and maybe one day, you’ll get yours.

  31. Dear Luke,
    No one cares that you’re vegan.

    Agree with you re: the animal torture though.

    Signed,
    Everyone

  32. How dare you call this brave and sensitive girl such names? You ask that she direct her energies elsewhere. Personally, I believe that the human suffering that China has seen due to natural disasters and disease is God’s judgement against you for your cruelty and insensivity to the suffering of animals and of your fellow human beings. May the whole country be struck with a plague.

  33. Animals are not food, not slaves , animals are not clothes or testing sources, they are just another nations. Support the Animal liberation Front. GO VEGAN. It’s a fucking shame! CHINA GO VEGAN!

  34. How about passing out birth control to cut the population so we can have enough food to feed the worlds population, without eating cats..Man needs to Stop breeding like gerbils!!

  35. Thank you very much for all your efforts to stop this cruel practice. It is so sad that compassionate people trying to stop cat eating (how do you know they are not vegan?) get criticised when the ones that should be criticised are the ones DOING NOTHING FOR ANYONE!

  36. This young girl is very brave & kindhearted; bless her hearth. Was in Taiwan not too long ago & found out that talking about animal’s being abuses there as well as China is almost taboo. You don’t talk about it . Same with adopting animals /kids. You do not talk about it, this is what I was told by many young Taiwanese; It’s cultural thing. It was quite sad, I saw many stray’s on the streets and people wouldn’t do anything to help.

  37. All animals feel pain and feel fear…they all want to live.
    I do not eat anything that has a face.

  38. China, you MUST make changes. Congratulations you oposite to this cruel practice: eating cats. But you MUST also to STOP:
    - eating dogs
    - the cruel against other animals like against bears
    - using the cats and dogs or fur
    - take the fur rom animals alive

    China, my friends and I never buy your products because you so cruel with animals. Respect your citizens who opposite to these cruel practices!

    • how do u live on without buying Made in China products man. thats kinda impressive in a way man. yeah. ur right. but not untill the low IQ too proud to accept reality people wakes up and at least support these people, there is just no hope for the cruelty towards animals in China. but then at least, at least in Shanghai, there have been an advertisement about shark fins on the little digital screens in cabs starred with Yao Ming. Now that, Hopefully, will start lightening up people’s brains

  39. There is no need for humans to kill animals in order to be fed and healthy. Cats and dogs are highly emotional and inteligent animals and anyone capable of hurting and killing a dog or a cat just to taste their meat is capable of doing the same thing to humans.

  40. Racist? No-how about a dose of truth. If the shoe fits, wear it. China sucks.

  41. It’s obviously personal opinion but my thoughts:

    If cows were thought of as an idea of a pet dog and chickens were thought of as a pet cat in the beginning of time (when pets got popular, whenever that is), then the world views on cats and dogs as pets would be quite different. We love to eat beef and chicken, but why aren’t pictures and articles of cattle slaughterhouses being shown? They are just as heart wrenching as these pictures.

    The people killing the cats don’t have the same personal attachment to cats/dogs since pets in China haven’t been a big thing. They’re starting to, as you can see from this article since people are protesting. But change is a-coming. Save your CAPS lock.

  42. I applaud this girl and anyone who has compassion to place an end to cat consumption. Cats are feeling, very intelligent animals. The killing of the cats are barbaric and inhumane. The people who participate in their unethical murder was savages. I am proud to be a vegetarian. What nonsense from the people who respond about other plights in the world-shame on you! I care about many plights in the world and would help both animals and humans in a heartbeat so how ignorant to tell her to spend her energies elsewhere as if she doesn’t care about other causes. People who help animals are among the kindest on earth and it goes without saying how we help our human friends as well. We are placed on this earth for a short time but our souls will go on for eternity and for all the good natured and kind people in this world. For the savages who spent their narrow minded lives purposefully killing innocent animals or people-I pity you greatly for your lack of compassion. You must care for G-d’s creatures as well as our own.

  43. fuck ppl who dont give a shit about what these people are doing man. they have a compassion. and its for saving these animals that they believe in and for GuangDong’s reputation. whats wrong with that? and how the fuck do you link that with a disaster thats created by natural causes? i think these people are great in a way, becoz they are doing what they can to stop the bad that they believe in created by human.

  44. haha lol i dont know about cats, but angle and some of her friends sure look delicious!

  45. If not for Tibetans Panda would have been extinct in China long ago. The much publicized panda is in fact the native of Tibet as such it survived from the dinner plates of Chinese who eats almost all kinds of animals.

    Since Tibetan are very discriminate when it comes to meats as they eat very few type of meat like mutton, beef. Pork was even not eaten.

  46. My family is from Guangdong/zhou, and we do not eat cat/dog. NOT ALL CHINESE PEOPLE EAT DOG/CAT. STOP ASSUMING THINGS.

  47. I absolutly support this brave woman,

    This is the most savage and inhumane action any living thing coul do,
    I suggest that one skins the perps ancestors and fills the skinned carcus with their own babies alive then the entire package given to pigs to eat.

  48. alot of these comments are obviously from ‘educated’ americas……

  49. Good to hear that the younger generation cares enough to get involved and try to stop these horrific crimes against cats.

  50. It is really quite alarming to read some of the comments. What this girl tried to do is brave and compassionate, how people can start writing silly and offensive comments about eating animals is really sickening. I would imagine that these people would not have the courage or the conviction to move away from their computers to try help an innocent creature. I applaud people who take a stand for something they strongly believe in – especially if the action is not to actually benefit themselves but to help people or animals in danger or suffering.
