Personally I wouldnt eat dog or cat but what is the problem if other people do? You should check out some of the practices we have here in the states. You can only be so humane in the raising and killing of animals for human consumption. When they invent a way for us to eat meat without killing an animal then we should jump on China with both feet.
False. The first dog I had when I was a kid was put down at the vet's. I didn't have the stomach then to go in and be with Harley, but instead a friend of mine did go in. Molly, the last dog I had euthanized died in less than a second from the time she was injected. She dropped straight down and did not suffer at all. Stray dogs in animal shelters are gassed to death in the U.S., which is also a very cruel way to die. Not as bad as the Chinese methods.
To get the furs from them, they have to kill them first and then take the fur. It would not make ANY difference as the quality of the fur. But no. It would only add a few pennies to the cost of the fur to inject the animals humanely like was done with Molly. They have a long ways to go to get there, of course, since we do not even do that in the U.S.
Michele should speak up and do something about this crime against nature. It must be stopped.
