Absolutely outraged - words cannot describe this

If they are scared to catch illnesses from cats, why do they eat them? Not a food source in my mind.
How many of us are ill?
Preaching to deaf ears, I wish they would listen. >:(

Thought i would also add here.. China being a Superpower have a major influence on what other countries do and speak out against it.. There is a thin line, no body want to get into rows with a country that in essence has a huge part to play in a world economy..
Sad fact about human culture and our global economy...
But hurt the economy and sometimes they listen!
Beanie:
Hi Sharon,
I couldn't agree more. You will find the actual Mahatma Ghandi quote in the footnote under all my posts. Ghandi stated what I firmly believe as well.
Mark:
It was Gandhi Sharon

Any city that takes on the Olympics not only should have a proper Human Rights record but compassion for other species. Someone once said you can vouch for a countries attitude to people by how they treat and have empathy for animals (who was that!)..
There iis no way in my opinion that China should of hosted the Olympics.. They just dont bother listening to public outcry. A few weeks back i was in the garage waiting for my car to be serviced and the Times had a dreadful photo of a fin whale and calf (newly born) harpooned to death.Greenpeace reckoned it took half an hour for both to die.. it makes me cringe at being a human for our inhumanity to animals... !
Okay Greece was also pretty bad regarding clearing up of the Olympics. But attitudes have now changed their and public opinion means alot to them (and the EU). Whereas China just does what it wants..
You just wouldnt believe how many tigers are snared and shot for the Chinese market. Indeed there are now more Tigers in captitivy then in the wild.. What a terrible thing to happen....! As in my opinion Tigers are a keystone species, if you cannot protect such a lovely animal and save it what chance do we have with smaller less charactermatic but equally important animals.
Its a terrible thought...!
