Advice for Chinese visitors to the US: Never ever drive through the middle of Louisiana out in the boonies. If you do, make sure you have a full tank of gas and won't have to stop for gas. Because the people (I'm talking about the white folks) will rape you, your granddad, and your pet pig. I kid you not. Oh, and never drive through the American South with California plates.

Anyone who doesn't believe me, please watch the movie Deliverance, which has Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, and John Voight. To whet your appetites, I'd like to quote the following poignant line from the movie: "Boy, you sure got a pretty mouth."

To be honest, I haven't seen someone eating cats or rats so far, neither myself nor through media. Can't imagine how the cats and rats taste!

Well for sure you have eaten cat and not ordered it.....Have you noticed that you seldom see any alley or stray cats roaming the streets in Shanghai....

bloomark wrote:I have heard some scary stories about "人吃猴子脑子," the plot in substance is that someone take a living monkey out from the cage and bring it to kitchen and chisel it on the head to dig a hole on the top of the skull and then penetrate a straw through the hole into the brain(scaring, sanguinary and sadistic). And the customer imbibe the bloody brain with the monkey still living moving.

I'm confused why those southern omnivorous don't go suck ****.

They got this white kid who plays a mean banjo but his face willl make your blood curl. My sources tell me these people actually exist. Let me tell you, you don't want to be Chinese and running into them in the hills of Kentucky.

However, when the cat is not anyone's pet, I don't see any problem if someone want to eat cat meat. It is not for me, but ok for me to see people eat cat. Cat is just cat, nothing different to pig/lamb/fish. Pet cat is a completely different story.

I feel sick about people who cry "oh, those chinese eat cats".

btw: I don't eat beef as I found cow is a kind of very peaceful and lovely animal.

Dogs can be trained to do many different jobs: hunting, security, herding, and so much more.

Horses and Donkeys can be used for riding and farming, and were a key form of transportation for a long time.

Cats provided a service by ridding farm stores of pests and vermin.

So, in many western cultures, these animals have far greater value if they are alive and not on the dinner plate, so it is NOT the same type of behavior.

Livestock animals were raised specifically for food (cows, sheep, chickens, pigs, etc) while the "work" animals were bred for specific purposes (horses for riding, dogs for hunting, etc) and over time they became "companion animals", and these animals can be extremely loyal and great friends.

There are of course some people that get upset if you eat something "cute", but for the most part, I don't understand why you would eat something as useful as a dog or a horse unless there were no other options.

What an insight!
There's a saying Food Is Heaven in China that might explain their food craziness.
