Lunar New Year: French animal lovers howl at Chinese dog slaughter

Edited on Sat Jan-28-06 11:02 PM by Roon

PARIS (AFP) - France's Society for the Protection of Animals (SPA) appealed to Chinese President Hu Jintao to put an end to the cruel slaughter of dogs, which it blasted as an affront.

"The SPA does not set itself up as a judge of a country and its culture, but is asking for animals to be killed in a dignified way," the SPA said.

"Millions of dogs (in China) are hanged, beaten with sticks and butchered while they are still alive," it said in a press release.

1. Reminds me of Michel Farber's book about slaughtering meat.

"Under the Skin"

I can't begin to say what I feel about the torture of dogs for any reason.
