Japan and China Meat Crusine Poll

Should Japanese and Chinese be allowed to dogs, cats, and dolphins in their meat markets and crusines?

I don't think I have a right to pass judgement on what another nation eats any more than I would like it if they told me I couldn't eat Hamburgers and french fries.

^ Agreed

i voted no, but that's simply my own personal opinion. they say opinions are like butts, everyone has one and they all stink.

i'm cuban...so i've eaten cat before. lol. i think i was like 6 years old.
but i would never consider a cat or a dog, much less a dophin as a source of food (unless i hadn't eaten in about 3 weeks. lol)

but hey, the chinese dig a hole, put a chicken egg in it, then dig it up one or two weeks later when it's green and they eat it. my opinion is that is gross and i would never do it, but they consider it a delicacy.

Id agree that its not my, or most peoples business to tell a culture what they can or cant do/eat for the most part.
I think the only time we should be paying that much attention to things is how the animals are killed, treated before they are killed, and whether or not the species is endangered at all.

Of course we have to deal with our own problems as far as food animal abuse before we can go pointing fingers.

Endangered ok then we can step in..but how they treat their animals for human consumption is again. None of my concern. We have far to many problems of our own to go telling another country how to do things. Maybe if we didn't have a booming stray pet population, failing economy, raising unemployment rates, and politicians as crooked as grape vine ok then we might have a small say in the matter..

Agreed, which is why I pointed out we had to deal with our own issues before we point fingers :)

All three animals or none of them? What about the other options?

I think Dogs and Cats are fine.
Dophin on the other hand, I have some complicated thoughts about dolphin and am somewhat undecided. I guess if there was a better regulated farming systems for them and not simply harvest from the wild, then I would feel more ok with it.

We have no right to tell another country what they can and can't eat. Honestly I may not eat a cat or a dog. But I would totally munch on a dolphin are whale.

Those people that bash japanese whalers make no sense to me. How can we claim to love freedom and then say to another culture. "You can't eat that because they are beautiful, intelligent, rare, whatever."


HEck If I could I'd be flippin whale burgers myself.

yes! we ake away are dogs then we can't eat cows meat etc. We eat animals and other people dont. Animals are animals and we are at the top of the food chain. cultures change but we cant change that were at the top and animals end up in our stomach
