The Joys of Multiculturalism: Dog Eating Festival

Coming to your neighborhood soon!!!!

Dog Eating Festival in China
We used to joke about this going all the way back to when I was a child and over the years we were told that it was insensitive of us to portray other cultures in such a bad light.  Well, despite minimal reporting on the issue just one story like this with some facts can put light on the inhumanity of some cultures in how they treat man's best friend, dogs, and to many people cats.  I like them both as well and not for consumption but for friendship and companionship.  These poor souls are another of God's gifts not meant for the dinner table, but to share life and for us to be a steward in their protection. 

While here in America we still have the killing of human unborn to contend with at least somehow it is in out cultural imperative not to make meals out of animals intelligent enough to show devotion and in many cases such as dogs to become trained assistants for the disabled or elderly.  Companionship is so underrated yet many people who have little else in the way of social interaction due to circumstances have found pets like cats or dogs to be as important to life as family, and for many they are family.
