| In a country that big, you eat what you get. In my country there is a saying: "Chinese people eat whatever moves" |

There's a lot of countries where people say that. The worst part is that it could be true |

I stopped reading here so forgive me if I'm regurgitating content that's already been covered, but I think this becomes a very valid argument if we're talking about pork. Cows are ing retarded. Pigs are comparably and in some cases more intelligent than dogs. The inhumanity of slaughtering our favorite pets for nourishment is only so because they're domesticated - we recognize and enjoy their intelligence. As much as I love a fat piece of bacon, factory-fresh pork is rather ed up.
Edit: I'm wayyy late :stongue: |
You know, my bf and I were talking about this the other day. If pigs are so ing smart, why do they where they eat and sleep? Disgusting creatures. |

i might not agree with the way the chinese treat their animals, but imo its worth it just to see halcyon spit the dummy :haha:
you're an idiot. the last thing you want to do is eat an animal that died of "natural causes". |
why is that, they've been pretty good so far. The key is to get ones that die within a day or so. No maggots etc...
Also the stiffness of the animal is key in determining length of time they have been dead.
Flies around them ect.. is a clear give away.
Lookig for any signs of desease rabies etc.. is also important.. but otherwise it is all good.
Arguably it is safer than mushroom hunting.
None the less you are an idiot if you think you have a higher chance of getting a diseased animal that is dead than one you kill.. live animals can be diseased too.
Domestic animals are pumped full of chemicals. (hgh leading to early onset of puberty and growth defects such as cancer)
There is no win win.
People risk samonila and worse from supermarket foods. Refridgeration questions, etc.. |

Keep at it. If it works for you, don't stop. Bubonic Plague, Rabies, Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, Cholera; many animals carry these diseases but they certainly don't always die from them and even if they do - it's perfectly natural.

That's very nice, you smug . I'm well aware of your argument, it's simply not the same.
The conditions that these cats and dogs are kept under are DEPLORABLE. Do you know this word and its many variants? It's not the same thing because in most developed countries there exist laws that strictly stipulate their commerce as well as execution and generally speaking, it's as swift and efficient as possible. Until then, cows live a life of grazing with one another in the sun and green grass; just as they would opt to do had no human lorded over them.
Indeed, it is in a slaughterhouse's best interest to keep things as sterile and quick as possible so as to minimize the chances of viral infection and diseases, as well as the cleanup process and re-purpose/packaging. I've seen it myself - for cows, there is a device called a "knocker"; it's a foot-long, steel spike that penetrates their skull in less than a second and drops them before they even know a bit of pain. They are cut up after they are fully dead because this minimizes the chances of their thrashing around and damaging anything/anyone.
In China, there exist no laws to restrict the commerce of animal processing. Indeed, the Chinese Government itself hires people to go into the streets and beat stray dogs to death so that they can be skinned or eaten for a paltry price, all in the interest of "public health". But that's for the lucky ones; many dogs and cats are corralled into cages as full as they can stuff them, left in the sun and weather for exposure, going insane from fright and squalid conditions of starvation and physical abuse, several of them still having collars on because they were simply plucked from the streets or even people's homes due to the complete lack of governmental ordinance and management of the particular industry.
But don't get me wrong, I would say the chicken processing industry has a history of being quite similar - and indeed, the US saw a recent, massive egg recall because these same conditions were so mismanaged, so horrible, and so lacking in governmental oversight that people were put in harm as well. How long before the almost completely unrestricted situation in China results in a communicable disease so lethal that nobody left remembers Communism? |
+1 mate, nailed it. |
