SHOWING SENSITIVITY


In all that I have read about China, its leaders have never struck me with awe about their sensitivities to the feelings of others. However, China has put a ban on the 112 restaurants servicing the Olympics. Dog meat, known as 'fragrant meat' is a preference by many for medicinal purposes.

The Associated Press prints: BEIJING - Canine cuisine is being sent to the doghouse during next month’s Beijing Olympic Games.


The Asian Animal Protection Network writes that St. Bernards are a particular favorite. One plant slaughters 100,000 dogs for food meat a year. Dogs are being bred to produce meat more palatable for human consumption. How long will it be before PETA upsets those facilities?
