Do I get a prize?

Here you go

I love dogs but have to admit its a little presumptuous to tell the chinese in China what to eat/not to eat

Hindus love cows but they don't tell us to stop eating hamburgers

Good point.

Don't know what to say. Hate the thought of folks chowing down on kitty cats, and puppy dogs, as much as the next American pet lover hates it.

But you gotta pick your fights. Getting the Chinese to stop buying magic powder made from the horns of endangered rhinos is a higher priority than getting them to stop eating common nonendangered animals like dogs and cats.

I'm not sure if you read books by the British naturalist Gerald Durrell. He recounts being a guest of honor at a World Wildlife Fund function organised in China to raise money to support conservation of the freshwater Buoto dolphin.

Durrell gave a speech on the importance of saving the Buoto Dolphin for future generations of Chinese people. His Chinese hosts seem to have a different idea about why the dolphin should be conserved. To his sudden horror they presented him with a dinner comprising of a main course sweet and sour buoto!!

I don't hold a lot of hope for the poor old rhino

It may be presumptuous to tell the Chinese what they can and cannot eat.They have eaten their land turtles into extinction.I doubt they can eat dogs into extinction.But they treat the dogs cruelly before they eat them.So I sign petitions against the practice.

Basically what I think as well.
