China’s sick dog-eating festival spreads rabies to humans
DISGUST at China’s sick dog-eating festival has spread around the world, and concerns it could spark a rabies epidemic are growing.
The barbaric celebration, which starts this weekend in Yulin, Guangxi Zhuang, sees stolen animals burned alive and slaughtered in the streets. Public torture is part of the sadistic “fun”, with pets run over with cars, torn to pieces and smashed with hammers.
Thousands of cats and dogs are packed in cages and driven to the region over long distances in crowded cages with no food and water, suffering painful side-effects from the poisoned bait that helped catch them.
They are forced to watch other animals being beaten to death and thrown in de-hairing machines before meeting their own gruesome fate at the summer solstice festivities.
What should really trouble callous festival-goers is the contagious diseases harboured by these wretched animals. Yulin has one of the highest incidences of rabies in the world, a petition by Duo Duo Animal Welfare Project pointed out, with 338 people contracting and dying from the disease between 2002 and 2006. The economic cost to the city was thought to be a huge 6.67 million Yuan ($1.39 million).

Good, hope they all get rabies and die a horribly slow and painful death...same as they inflict on the poor dogs.
None of this surprises me at all.
Just another reason why I'll never, ever, ever, set foot anywhere in China/Asia/SE Asia.
Now the Christian West is fast filling up with Chinese immigrants.
