You are comparing things you can't compare.
I can blame anyone, no matter what race, color, cultural background, etc, for intentionally inflicting unnecessary pain and suffering on any living creature. They can not stand beyond "culture" and continue that practice of making an animal suffer on the stupid notion it will taste better. I don't blame or judge them for eating dog or cat, I judge them for how they raise and slaughter them for food. WRONG IS WRONG.
But if a country can knowingly send children's toys with led paint, and tainted food items to the US, I suppose how could I expect any compassion or decency from that culture?
I know every Asian is not a "bad" person, but as a general if Asian countries disappeared, good riddance.
I agree wholeheartedly ~flower~
I find it terribly sad that it's an accepted part of someone's culture , to say "respected" is even more repulsive.
When a "culture" practises such vile acts it says to me they have failed to become civilised or even evolved into a humane being.
To kill an animal for food is first not necessary , we could all be vegan and live our lives fine.
It's a twisted individual who behaves like these foreigners and inflicts pain for any type of reward.
reward=better taste
that's an incomprehensible thought process for any rational person
To go to one of those places and allow yourself to "stoop" to that level shows lack of self respect and little or no value of life.
I cannot agree that it's a show of respect to do as they do while you're there.
I find it more of a thrill of some type to be able to say you did it .
For the ones who feel like it's acceptable , I'd like to know one thing ?
where is the line . . the one you won't cross due to your own set of values ?
I'd rather be a lone voice in a strange land standing firmly for what's right , than be a follower and say I respect their culture.
