McCartney attacks China over fur
Technically I think you'll find the animals are being eaten... why waste the fur?
Yes I think it would be better if they humainly killed the animals beforehand. Yes they can be more kindly treated during the process. The sad fact is, there are many people and a shortage of jobs, esp well paying jobs. People who do this, for the most part are probably doing it to feed their family, chances are it is on a commission base, the more kitties you provide the more cash you get. If you fail to provide a certian number, now money for you. a lot of chinese business is done on commission like this, hence the lack of caring about the wealfare of the animals etc.
If they were being slaughtered just for fur, it IS a waste of life. If they are being used for food as well (people can and do eat cat and dog in Guang Zhou) then it is also keeping many people from starving becuase of lack of nutritional food. This is better than just killing it for it's skin as every part gets used.
They do have a point too, if people didn't buy there wouldn't be a demand.
Chinese people have a very different culture and up bringing to us in the west. so some of the things such as this which we (yes I do too think it is cruel) to them it's a normal occurance. They look at some of the things we do with the same distaste.
I am curious if they gave the location of this place as I know most nook and crannies in guangzhou but I have never seen this. Most probably it would be on the outskirts of the city.
If it came down to you, your wife and your children staving to death, or you having to pack kitties for food fur. Which would you choose?
ON the other hand Some people do have a sick enjoyment out of killing animals. This also occurs in the west as well. Teens will kill cats for the fun of it, sometimes even tormenting them before hand. China has a huge population so the % of wacko's, murderers, sicko's etc.. is gonna be higher than other countries.
anyway just thought I'd put up the opposite side of the story.
